Today I got hit harder than anything by emotional hunger. My body is fine, but some sort of habitual/social aspect of it has come into play. I have had to turn down lunch/dinner invites because I am not eating, and what am I going to do, sit there and watch? Pysically I am normal, I dont feel any more or less energetic than before I started, and hunger is now simple to stave off. Breaking the 29 year habit of eating multiple times a day is what is hard.
What really blows my mind is that outside my girlfriend, no one supports my decision...what is really interesting is at work (dont worry, I sit all day, another reason to fast) the biggest naysayers are also the most overweight people there!
This is becoming an interesting social experiment as well as a physical/emotional one.
I do want some mexican food, even if thats my emotions talking and not my body. lol.
