Wow Once, I’m praying for you… thats similar to what happen to me on my first and second SWF…NOTHING ! ….but it was way early in my fast…I think you might have to be several days into a fast before it works properly…ememas are best for me and maybe best for all during the first week or two of a fast…I’m in my third week now and might attempt a SWF this week…but Keith is right…might need a good doctor to see whats up with your digestive track…love and blessings, br John
Thanks – I’m sure it’ll get better…just my ankles are sloshing w/saltwater now. How is your fast going?
Day one of my juice fast. I have decided not to weigh myself during the fast, as that is not why I am fasting, and I want to make sure my focus is where it should be. I weighed yesterday, and I was 142lbs. I had already lost some weight through changing some of my eating habits (I was 165 in July of last year when I began). I am 5’5″. I plan to weigh myself at the end of the fast. I felt God leading me to fast, and convicting me about how it is not only part of our spiritual walk, but also about the fact that I lack discipline.
My tongue is coated, and I am breaking out, so I am seeing the signs of detox. Other than that, I feel great! Some hunger today, but not bad. I had weaned myself off of other foods during the last week and a half. I felt energetic today, though I am feeling tired now, as it is getting late here. I had to take bottled juices to work with me, as I didn’t have time to prepare fresh juice for the entire day. I did, however, juice some apples and carrots this morning, and it was amazing! I am still waiting for the less pleasant feelings to come, which are common at the beginning of detox. I have the next three days off from work, which will be helpful.
I will probably try less juice tomorrow, as I did close to 64 fl oz today and felt like it was more than I needed. I am also drinking water, including some SmartWater. I hope to begin making exercise a habit (one area in which I have been lacking discipline). I will be starting out slowly, but I know the key for me will be to just do something every day, in order to form that habit. I may even do a few days during my fast, here and there, when I am not working, where I drink only water. I am going for 40 days, so my last day will be April 23rd.
Greetings! Day twenty-five of my water fast and I am 239 pounds.
