I get super nervous when I want to fast and feel obligated to eat because of my setting and I eat even though my stomach says its not hungry but my mind says opposite. Any tips?
It is all about fear mindhealth. You are eating due to tension and the reason is fear. You have to break down your thought process to see what is really happening. http://obesity.fasting.ws and http://compulsive.ws will get you started.
Well so far I drank 15 ounces of orange juice and I am going to drink at least 80 oz of water today. That will be my day. I think the orange juice helped curb my non-existent hunger but craving for flavor. I want to do a full water fast tomorrow. Ill update with my weight and difficulty tomorrow. So far so good.

I wrote this long ago but now I feel slight dizziness and because I have to study nothing is registering in my head. Temptation for food… I don’t think it is a good sign for the first day. I will continue though.
…….another update..
I had juiced tomatoes carrots, celery, and beets. too delicious to be good haha
I also have a few joint pains. This never happened to me before. I know these days you are never to young for any ailment. Is this normal ?
One question though….. can you take vitamins on a fast? or do you let your body work with what it has?
Now feeling sad. Somehow I unconsciously made oatmeal with blueberries and ate it. I’m disappointed with myself.
I think I’m going to postpone my fast and make it a 20 day water fast in December. I will be more calm, relaxed and have time to do absolutely nothing.
