Thank you to everyone who provided support. Some explicitly with messages, some implicitly because I didn't want to have to post and tell you all I caved to the free food. In fact I didn't. Got through the event sipping my water and feel good about it. Got good sleep last night and think I am starting to come out of the fog that makes starting a fast so hard. Well, off to a good start - 27 daqys to go.

Say, I do have another question. I will be trying to post here once a day for a progress report. If I keep adding to this thread it will be buried many pages deep by the time this ends. Is it customary to keep posting to the same thread for continuity or to post to a new thread to stay near the top of the forum?
