Day 26. Oh, techncially I guess I have broken this fast. I was at a lunch buffet and while I thought I could gracefully not participate, the way it was organized, there was not socially reasonable way to not take and visibly eat a plate of food. I did my best by sticking to some vegetables and a small amount of chicken. I hope I have not triggered my body to come out of the fast. I think I'm okay. Later when I had to do a ton of food prep work for another party I did not feel tempted to sample while I worked (always been a habit for me). Likewise when we had the full displays of food out and ready for the party I was also not inclined to "sample" a few items - again always been a regular habit. I think this is encouraging that my fast is still okay - even with the small break. Oh, and the scale finally moved. Hooray.
