OK, so, I broke my fast a whopping day after starting it. I'm not too happy about it. I stopped eating Thursday night and fasted until Saturday afternoon. I was doing fine until my fiance (Oh, I got engaged by the way) and I started going over menu options for our wedding reception. I just completely broke down. All that talk of spanikopita, brazed lamb chops and crab-stuffed mushrooms just put me over the edge. I'm not going to let it get me down though. I'll give it another shot soon. Debbie will be out of town all next week so I may duct tape the fridge shut, and really try to get down to brass tacks with this fasting idea. I will chalk this fast up to a learning experience and try to use this experience to my advantage. Hell, I never thought I could make it through a single day without eating.

I'm water fasting - Here goes!
I'm water fasting. After months of failed dieting and a lot of frustration, I've decided I'm going to fast and drink only water for the next several days. I've read a lot of articles and watched many videos about water fasting and concluded that it's something I want to do for several reasons: To loose weight, to cleanse myself of toxins, reestablish some healthy eating habits and to prove to myself that I have the will power and perseverance to tackle this personal challenge. This will be a physical and mental battle. I'll keep you posted with daily updates.
Currently its 6:00pm. I worked all day and, surprisingly, the hunger didn't bother me too badly. I drank about a liter and a half of water while I worked away at my desk. I first noticed that I was hungry around 9:30am. By this time I typically break out a sandwich and mow down. I did have a headache that came and went, off and on, most of the day. But it never got too bad. I didn't take any headache medicine for it. I think that fasting didn't bother me too much today because I would often check online and read a little here and a little there about other people's experiences and success. Here's a great website I am using as my information source and guidance through this journey: allaboutfasting.com
