Whoa this is hard. Seriously. I had a REALLY hard time sleeping last night because I was so hungry. It is amazing to me how dependent I have become on food...it is always on my mind! I'm really, REALLY hoping that I can stick this out for long enough to experience the liberating benefits of not having my life revolve around meals and preparation. I seem to be preoccupied with food and eating right now due to the physical hunger, which should subside soon. I'm also VERY irritable today. Snapped at my dad this morning and felt pretty bad about it.
This morning, I went out for a walk around 6:30am. I know, I know...but I had to be at work early this morning and the one good thing about not eating is that you can get right out of bed in the morning! I suspect that this will only improve for me as time goes on.
When I decided to do this fast a few days ago, I was going to attempt a strict water fast. I did do the water fast for 31 hours, but honestly, since I am continuing to do moderate exercise and attempt to live my life, I know that I'll never make it on the water fast and may do more harm that good. SO, I am taking all natural juices. Had a nice, big glass of Bolthouse Green Goodness this morning (so good!) I forgot to bring more juice for "lunch" today, but I have a break before my final at 4:30 so I'll probably run to the local grocery store...I'll want to get out anyway!
So far I feel like I'm doing ok. I'm really excited to make it through tomorrow...I know that I'll probably start feeling the true benefits of fasting then. A little nervous because I'm having a pizza party for some of my student workers tomorrow....people do NOT respond well to the idea of fasting. I still haven't decided exactly what my excuse will be for not eating anything...prob a stomachache. That's hard to argue!
