Hey everyday... day 14 here.. Its weird when I wake up no desire to eat.. night time/middle of the night.. hunger!!!!!!! However I am NOT giving up.. my facial skin is starting to look purdy.. and that means my digestive is starting to too.. cleaning from the inside out.. cant wait to see my weight this sat.. last I knew I was 128-130.. Symptoms.. Not tired thats forsure ive been moving around like a buzzing bee running errands.. the only time I get tired is when I lay like a log.. then my body cells start to feel slightly lazy.. my tummy just growled.. anywho.. going to take a detox bath..

  • day 15

just woke up.. was around mango, soup, mac and cheese last night ,... oh and avocado... The avo and mango was the hardest for be to be around but I have come so far and I know my skin makes the transition from now till im done fasting... so to me that is more important .. I will basically eat again in about 10 days.. around day 24 or 25 if I end the 12th when school starts. I really want to go to the 28th so I may if I can

things I am going to eat after a week of breaking the fast with fruit

sushi! lol I keep hearing about this wonderful sushi place.. although the thought of raw fish makes me sick.. but maybe ill get vegan sushi.. its all you can eat and they just keep bringing out different rolls.. Truthfully i dont have that much craving for it.. actually none.. but my husband keeps talking about it.

oh well..

symptoms of today... nothing really just really white tongue.. minor bo but not bad.. i do not wear deodorant as I am cleansing . white smooth facial skin but have not lookd at my scars in the outside light.. ill do that probably sat or next week.. I can tell a difference with the process of the dead skin that is growing.. normally i have all this dead skin that needs to be exfoliated on my face but while I fast.. none of that is needed.. which I like because I feel it gives my facial skin time to heal becaue I dont have to mess with it at all

Anywho.. the thing that keeps me going right now is that my digestive is healing.. I know it is.. many more fasts await but im really gld im at day 16 in this one.. the further you get the less I want to give up

So I had a huge test and broke the fast.. with way to much stuff I wont name.. lol Im going back on it tomorrow.. guess starting but day 1 but its kinda like day 16. but not really. I would count it as day 16 if I only had coconut water like once but that wast the case.. My digestion seems stuck (im not pooping all the stuff I ate) hence why im eating today and hopefully will poo before tmrw.. sorry for TMI... lol skin still looks great. so I go back to school the 12th so I guess this will be a 16 - 24 hour break + 9 day fast.. maybe longer IDK... anyways no more studies to worry about thankgoodness.. I had to eat to do the test tho.. it just wasnt possible with out it lol.. how much I ate no I didnt need to do that.. I did weight 126 something now im at about 128 hopefully I get to my goal of 116 before the fast is over..

Day 1 or 16 (with a day break) So I felt really good that I had a movement this morning lol.. I am SO hungry but I am on the official fast again.. lol if I do it till next monday it will be 9 days .. but I guess I am not going to put a goal in place and just kinda go with the flow on this fast.. I do want to eat but then again I know this is my only break.
Things I have learned after my 3rd long fast.
- do not break your fast with pizza, sushi and subs... lol (I also ate a bunch of fruit)
- if you do break it with fruit you will have a movement with in a day or so...
- Do not let any carbs into your system as they will make you hungry and your weakened will may want to eat (as mine did)
Ockeghem- thanks for the info. I may do Fridays IDK.. I think of Sunday as a rest day. When people are doing these day fasting does that mean just for 24 hours?
Overall I feel good right now.. Hungry.. tempted but good.. Im not going to eat because losing weight and my goals are more important

Hey hows it going for you? Have you broken the fast?

I did my first water fast a few days ago, only lasted 48 hours lol! I wanted to at least get into a state of ketosis but pizza was brought home one night haha..

It's hard work but i really want to give it a proper go again soon!

Hope you're well!

Dear Tayto,

Yes sadly I broke my fast ! I still regret not getting past day 15 this time around.. my skin was looking beautiful and I know the healing all takes place well after days 14-20.. but I still did heal a lot.. I will be doing another long one come august during my break from school and I am planning one over 30 days in December :) I will be posting here as I continue to fast.. over all my skin looks great.. the scars are still visible but I do have a glow and they did heal a lot.. the texture also healed.. really wishing I was still fasting at this point but its okay :) great job for doing 48 hours.. Go to fastingconnection. com then go to recent posts and go to may fast and you will find lots of support there.. :) plus lots of info

Been eating everything .. blah.. subs pizza chips.. no breakouts as my gut is healed.. however I plan to go on medifast and do insanity workout (im on day 3 starting tmrw) and plan to get into the 120's when I get money I will be juicing and such.. but getting in shape in my goal now as I will be in a swim suite soon,,

hope all is well fasters!!

<3 me
