gowel · 12-21-2011, 08:23 PM

Hey everyone, I'm fasting! It's what most people know as a 'water fast'.

Despite my age, I have a little experience with fasting, I completed a 21-day, a 15-day, a 5-day, and countless 1-2days water fasts.

The latter, I do frequently, without putting much thought into it, but they're nothing compared to a long fast.

This time I believe I have most of the 'external factors' working with me, so I'm optimistic. I'm at my grandparents' house and will stay here for about 20 days, and I have all this time to rest, I don't think I'll face any stressful situation during this period. Afterwards, I return to my home but, I'm still 'free' until mid-february.

The main reason I'm logging my fast is not because there aren't many logs or video logs on this, but because I mostly see people fasting for the 'wrong' reasons, or at least with erroneous expectations/guidance.

My intent is to help anyone who is researching about fasting.
