I woke up today and felt like only drinking water. So I decided to start a Water Fast today.

Now, this isn't as haphazard as it sounds. Today would have been day 8 of my juice fast.

This is the first time that I've ever done a water fast. Although as a disclaimer, I brewed and drank several pots of herbal tea today.

One thing that amazes me is the psychological aspect of wanting to eat. I know that I use food as a crutch when stressed or bored and this is a habit I am trying to break. The juice satisfied my psychological need for food most of the time, but I think I'm using those like a baby will use a bottle, or a young child their favorite blanket. With a desire to fully face this internal issue, I decided this morning to take the plunge into water fasting.

Are herbal teas alright to drink when water fasting? I think I will cut them completely out also because I'm afraid they will become the bottle too. Cold and hot water starting tomorrow.

As for maintenance, I do a salt water flush every 3rd day. I don't think this is ideal, but at least I am addressing that side of taking care of myself. Also I do some exercise such as walking or a small set of yoga positions to get my blood flowing in the morning.
