Hey waterhead :) :) This is going to be great...you, fasting.now and I will buddy up and be strong through this. I think this is the best place to come to for support and encouragement. Here is a little about me:
I've done several WF's throughout the years. My very first fast was when I was about 21 years old. It was for 14 days. Then I did a few short ones after that ranging from 3-9 days. My longest WF was for 25 days about 2 years ago. I'm 27 years old, female and live in New York. At the beginning, it was VERY hard for me to get support from my family. I live with my mom and siblings. I wanted to keep my family in on it only..not friends or relatives. My mom took it the worst because she thought it was so dangerous and tried talking me out of it numerous times. And she wasn't nice about it either lol..she would get so angry with me and yell and make a scene. She even got my aunt to come over..it's funny lol they tried having this little 'intervention' for me haha I was mad at them at first but then I put myself in their shoes and I didn't blame them for their concern and worry. I knew they were clueless about fasting and so was I at first. But I spent hours and days of non stop research about fasting. This forum was a HUGE help because it covers soooo many questions and answers. I took what I knew about fasting and explained it to my mom and aunt. They were supportive of it ever since. I try to limit people from knowing about my fasting because it can get very tiring to sit there and explain this whole thing to someone. It can really wear you out! I try not to accept invitations to go out anywhere that includes dinner/drinks..social events. It's just a temporary thing so I don't mind it at all. You have to think of it that way to help get through this. I wanted to focus on MYSELF...I'm BETTERING MYSELF. Everyone just loves to be nosey and think they have a say in what I'm doing with myself. I know what I'm doing is the right thing and I've researched and educated myself with it all. So that's why I avoid telling anyone, because my aunt told my cousins and they told our friends and so on..I just ended up turning off my phone most of the time and not being around if they come over. There is more that I have not covered yet but I will do so during the fast.
I've benefited a lot from fasting. This is something I want to do for years to come. The only thing I don't really look forward to is the bad taste in mouth and the nausea lol But other than that..it's awesome :)
So for anyone else that wants to buddy up with us 3...please do so, you're so welcome and we're happy to have more people.Ok I'm rambling now lol I'll post back soon <3
