Re: End of day 6 Water Fast: feeling very tired

Hi Maverick494,

Glad to hear you are thinking all of these different things through and stopping the multivitamins especially.

Well about your friend coming, I'm assuming this is not someone you feel comfortable telling about your fasting. I don't believe it's good to lie, but in this case, my best suggestion would be to say you are getting over some type of stomach virus and that you are not up to eating yet but that you don't mind going to dinner with him anyway for his company. Then when you get to the restaurant, just order some herbal tea like mint (completely plain of course) so you have something to do, drink it very slowly, and put it right in front of you so your place setting is not obviously empty and doesn't draw as much attention to your not eating. Just remember that you are always in charge of what goes in your mouth. Even if you still get pressured, just say you don't think you are at a point yet where you can keep your food down. No one wants to be around someone who might vomit. Whatever you do, don't break your fast the wrong way or else you really will feel sick.

Good luck! I'm on day 9 and let me tell you that it will be worth it not to have to start over again and you should still be able to enjoy your friend's company. Tweet
