Doing 21 days of Water Fasting. Starting April 28, 2011

Reasons for Fasting:
To heal. I've struggled with depression and food addictions for the last five years. I've gotten a lot of advice and feel that fasting is one of the best ways to heal. To cleanse. I grew up eating tv dinners and ramen. There was very little unprocessed food that I ate. I've cleaned up how I ate, but I still feel that all of those chemicals I ate before are still in me and are slowing me down.

Past Fasting Experience:
A few week long juice diets and a 7 day water fast. Ironically, it's not the hunger that sabatoges me, it's social events where food is present and everyone is eating. Although 21 days is my current goal, I'm going to listen to my body for when it's time to eat again.

Present Diet:
Fish, eggs, fruits and veggies, dairy (besides milk) and hot grain cereals. I don't like red meat or pork and I've gradually reduced fried and fast foods where I don't want them anymore. My one weakness I still have is sweet pastry breads and custards. . . . so good. . . .

Supplements:
liquid vitamin

State of Mind:
Frazzeled

Questions:
I really don't have any questions right now. I just need support because I know I won't be getting any from my family.
