You could get a fasting partner and make a $10 bet on who quits first. But hard to prove if you are online. Other than that the only help is continually refeshing the goal mentally. Tom Hi Kemata,

My flesh is so weak and the sad part is usually when I submit to the urge to eat I'm not even hungry. Any ideas on how to defeat lack of self control.

Day 2...I woke up took a shower put clean pajamas on and decided to make the day a pampering day....gave myself a facial....curled my hair...gave myself a pedicure...watched lifetime girly movies...and took a couple of tiny naps....by 6pm my tummy was icky...and it was all yellow bile...I hope that is normal...wasn't a lot.... Today is my day 3....I am just doing some things around the house...laundry and vacuuming...and giving my doggie a bath...I was going to do some aerobics....but nope...I think I will walk tonight the 2 mile trail...and do some sit ups and push ups... The bad....tummy issues which I expected....and thankfully I am home this week on spring break...my neck muscles hurt really bad... The good....my allergies are almost gone....amazing....and I have lost 5 lbs since yesterday....now that is an incredible feeling to know how much good is being done to my body and the bad may come but it is only for a moment....my incredible benefits will be a lifetime!!! Good luck everyone!!! Just do it!!! It is hard yes, but being unhealthy and taking meds is worse...

I just lay in bed. If I get some energy I do some stuff until the energy fades then I go back to bed. But if you have a slow metabolism, you can easily water fast and work. You are doing great, Chris. Congrats and thanks for sharing your journey. Cheers Mate Tom Working and water fasting is indeed difficult. I just lay in bed.

Today was interesting. I had a lot of dreams relating to food, tossed and turned and had aching muscles. I went to work but felt sluggish. I have a lot to do at work but I figured out a way to do everything else that didn't need to get done today. I still feel good, but I can tell I'm running into a wall. I have decided to end my fast tomorrow morning, instead of tomorrow night. I need a bit of energy tomorrow and have a lot to do and concentrate on. I feel a slight sense of failure because I told myself, 5 days which would be 6pm Friday night. I own my business and don't want my pride to get in the way of closing an important deal. I'll start with soup, and move up from there. I will post another after a few days to bring this journey to an end and share what I have learned...Chris I’m back day 4. Today was interesting.

I think today was no different then yesterday, accept for one thing. I'm not sure If I'm drinking enough water, but when I had a bowl movement, it was all water but it was yellow in color like a bunch of bile. I don't remember that happening, but the last time I did a fast was 10 years ago. I 'm thinking less and less about food, I think my body is getting used to it. My energy level is back and forth, I notice that if I feel a little slugish, then drink water I feel better. The night is the hardest time so I keep busy with work and finish with my book. I heat the water at night and use a coffee cup...seems extra special water that way... I'm looking forward to tomorrow though, and for me first post fast meal on Friday...Chris I’m back, day 3.

I felt better then expected today. Had enough energy for being in the office. I'm lookin forward to tomorrow where I will be halfway through. It was interesting to really get in touch with what my body is doing. I felt little bits of energy and then small bouts of low energy, but nothing out of the ordinary. I plan to take a warm glass of water tomorrow with a little salt to make a saline solution for washing out my track. I did this last time I fasted and it worked great. I think I have accomplished more today then I have in the office in a long while, its seems easy to concentrate. Tomorrow is day 3, I will leave another post...Chris I’m back, day 2.

Today is day 1. Actually, I have tonight to get through, but I have done this before. My goal is a 5 day water fast. I did a 4 day fast when I was 26. I'm 37 now but a little more prepared to what will come so I think that will make it easier. I remember how introspective I became and how I was able to cleanse my palet. The first day I was craving a Whopper and by the end I was craving a fresh tomato. It just seemed like the time again to step back, slow down a little and re-set my systems... Hi Folks,
