Questions:
My juice fast is over tomorrow, and i feel quite delighted with my-self, as i doubted my ability to see this thirty day juice fast to the end, but as i neared the half way point i knew i could do it, so with less than twenty four remaining, I'm replaying in my mind the fasting experience. i put my social life on hold, "haven't had beer in a month" stayed in my flat, walked a lot to make my-self tired so i would sleep at night. and slowly but surely time moved on, my general well-being has improved enormously i have lost twenty three pounds in weight, but only lost one pound in the last week? i feel much lighter on my feet, can walk faster and longer, my mental well-being is much improved, i feel more content, perhaps my nervous system has been re-set? I'am anticipating eating again with great fervor and am drooling at the prospect; I now have no doubt as to the merits of fasting, it causes a rejuvenation of body, mind and spirit. but fasting isn't easy as great resolve is needed. Will i do again? not for some time? And thank u Tom & your support team and my fellow fasting sufferers for your inspiration. a very happy christmas, p.s i will drop in from time to time.
