Thanks Nathan for your reply.
I think from your experience there is little point in me trying a longer fast with my current work schedule. I would need to find a quieter time if I want to fast for longer.
I also agree with what you say on people trying to disuade you. There are at least 2 people around me who would understand the ocasional 1 day fast but not many people would support me on more than that.
I find your insights into the nature of eating very interesting. I am just recovering from a stomach virus earlier this week where I didn't eat for one and a half days. Now that I am starting to eat again I am trying also to take advantage of the situation and eat more consiously. I have to be aware of what I eat so as not to upset my slowly recoverig digestion and it would be good to make this awareness more of a habit.
