Day 3

15-17 of December 

This was my first fast which I broke...horribly and ended up sitting on the toilet for about 12 minutes while my body purged everything. Yes, 12 minutes is not long at all for a days worth of food to travel through you, it hurt very bad, but at least no calories got digested.

17 of December

This was my second fast which only lasted 9 hours and I broke it with cabbage soup and potatoes.

WARNING: Do not EVER break your fast with potatoes! The mucus in your body and toxins that are released during the water fast react negatively with potatoes and by combining this there is a physical chemical reaction in which a toxic gas is released in your body that can get stuck in pockets in your organs [this is not flatulence]. 

Ah...so anyway

18-20 December

This is my third and current fast, I am on day 3 and only like 2 hours into today. I don't have much to say about these past three days except that it has been very...enlightening and hard. I have been having lots of moments of weakness and doubt but I have pushed through them and am determined to make it to 21 days... I am only slightly worried about Christmas, like what I am going to do when everyone is eating this warm food while I have to smell it with my super-enhanced senses....Ugh..

I have this weird obsession with vampires and I have found that the deeper I get into this fast mentally [like when it comes time to battle with your own mind and you really learn the difference between YOU and your brain/body] the more I feel like I am a human version and that almost makes me feel better. Yes, this is very weird but whatever works right? 

Like... I mean all your senses are enhanced, your skin clears up and smooths, your eyes brighten up and get really white, you don't need like any sleep, and you are living off nothing but water, and sunlight for energy. 

Sooo, yeah, weird.

I'm very pleased that I have gotten to day 3 again so easily and so soon, and I find that it really DOES help to journal EVERYTHING, everyday of your fast [juice or water] because when you fast again it helps to watch for different times of the day when you feel most hungry, what made you quit last time and how you can mentally overcome that this time and so on.

Also, I have found, every fasting experience seems to be different. Not just in the sense that you will be "cleaner" than the first time you fasted so detox will vary and symptoms will vary but mentally and spiritually it is different. You will notice each time you fast, with less and less time between each short fast, the more you will notice a profound mental strength you probably never knew you had in you. 

Watch lots of "water fast day...." videos on YouTube of fasting blogs and that will help get you through your fast; avoid all forms of media both online and on TV and you will be fine <3

Short Post

I thought I would post this, I found this site's link through one of my reader's blogs: 

ana-until-the-end.weebly.com

it is a great site and it is:

http://www.freewebs.com/reddragonfly81/

You see, I really do try to keep up with comments and visit your blogs and what not but it is difficult for me to actually reply to everyone or give out my e-mail and phone number to tons of people. I will try in the near future to update the "Ana Buddies" page so that everyone who has commented in the past since my last update will be added to the list. MAKE SURE you put if you are from the united states/united kingdom or any other country so I can put that on the list as well; it helps me stay organized and others in your country looking for an ana buddy will be able to find you quicker! :) 

have a lovely day! 

Bleh

Well I broke my fast this morning around 7 am with cabbage soup, I had one bowl and was fine; I had absolutely no desire to binge nor did I feel any ravenous hunger pangs... Later around 9 am I began to get the overwhelming need to binge, but I didn't I had a few squares of this natural chocolate [made with like milk chocolate, tree nuts, and soy milk etc.] and then I had more cabbage soup and some homemade chicken salad.

I made myself sick :(

I planned on SLOWLY returning to a normal diet but after that and my body purging everything I had just ingested in like 30 minutes, I decided I am going to restart my fast, because food is just not worth it and I am absolutely not worried about Christmas feasts coming up.
