lauray...as english is my second language I will do my best to express myself clearly.

what you wrote really touched me...I can totally identify with all the frustration u seem to be going through...

I too have Depression and such a love/hate relationship with fasting..as if its all I want to do but at the same time its the last thing I want to do!

Ive been fasting a lot over the last few year...did lots of jucing,water and master cleanse too. I actually sticked with the Master-Cleanse for 42 days last winter. it was just amazing...I was floating and my mind was so so clear!

its as if there are 2 me...the one that thrive to detox and cleanse and the one that cannot get enough food...as if its world war 3 tomorrow and it is the last time I get the chance to eat! it is challenging indeed to switch from a state of mind to another, from darkness to light...

you seem to b having a hard time with your mind and all those food cravings...this is so painfuly human...

Doing it all by yourself can b so difficult, I too feel like I can go crazy any minut, stuck between the 4 walls of my appartment feeling miserable about what I have to go through again...

but u know what? Fasting IS indeed such an amazing tool for us human being, I am sure u are very aware of that, and that is why you feel u must do it

But we must understand that any kind of fast will never b beneficial to us until we embrace it with a more positive approach. If we are struggling so much may b a sign that now is not the best time...or that it may b a better idea to go on a detox raw diet for a few days...or some other liquid fast before to dive headfirst into water fast.

of course we have all read somewhere that this or that person went cold turkey and it was a breeze to go from a diet full of starch to H2O...and I believe those must b called Jesus or some made up people...

sometimes at nightI am laying in my bed feeling so amazingly toxic(mind and body) and decide that I need to go on a Water Fast for 14 days...its that or nothing...this is usualy the start of a long fight with my mind...it is painfull

we must learn to b flexible and listen to our body and mind..I mean realy listen...it is not easy to get back in touch with the self but it is all there for us...

atitude is everything

when it feel too much like a fight we must reevalute why we want to fast and what we want to get out of it

and another thing...having some like minded people around can b such a gift...u say you do feel very isolated. sometimes talking about that kind of stuff w only one person can change your perspective for the best...I moved in a new city a while ago and didnt know anybody...but going to yoga classes or visiting some health food store gave me the chance to meet some interresting people
...at work if Id ever say a thing about fasting they would probably try to send me on the moon or somewhere...same for my family..Ive now learned that it is not my job to convince the world that fasting isnt a death sentance..if I can inspire people, GREAT but theres no need to fight about it cos I know inside my heart that fasting is a fantastic journey...

as long as we have the right atitude!

Peace
