Hi everyone, I was really interested to see how other people went on thier fast so now that im doing it I thought I might contribute on how I go. at the moment Im on juice before I go on just water so this is day 4 on juice and 3 litres of water a day. next monday ill start on the water im staying on te juice a while dbeacuse i have my period so its I need that extra bit of energy as a get really drained and just to get a good clean out as some women may not get thiers during a fast and also no medication either I have gone off the pill and no pain medication for the migraines I get however since I have been drinking so much water I seem to have lost my migranes which is nice. so far Ive been ok.
I usually have trouble sleeping, however at the moment Im having a daily nap with my 3 year old which makes my hubby very jelous although im sure he'd still rather his food than my lifestyle at the moment poor man cant go without food for 3 hours little own 50 days! I do get quite tired and I get very hungry when im around food other than that I dont get hungry. on the juice in the last 4 days ive been to the toilet a few times (bowel movements) I stopped eating meat a few months before my fast so I wouldnt get blocked and stayed on a diet high in vegies Im overweight right now was 198 pounds (gulp) when I started with a light/med exercise routine mainly running around after my 3 yr old and housework
thats exercise right? lol well it takes up most of my day anyway. so far ive lost 6.6 pounds which is quite alot more than I expected however as I said I im overweight. so far so good... I had so many questions for fasters before so if anyone wants to know anything please ask anything you like and feel free to motivate me it does get hard especially when you have to make party food for birthdays, watch every second add on tv about food and i swear I can smell our local mcdonalds thats 4 miles away. I have researched fasting for months just to make sure I wasnt going to kill myself, as this is not a common thing in our society I went to my dr to get all checked over before I started and he just about commited me to the phsyc ward for an eating disorder... do you want me to prescribe you duromine ?? hmm legal speed that was almost as tempting as a cheeseburger no just monitor me while im fasting pls fasting is not about losing weight as my dr thought it was, its about getting healthy after years of smoking and bad food choices the best and quickest way that ive found, although I would be lying if the i said the weightloss wasnt a great payoff. I have told my friends im on meal replacents for weightlose as we spend alot of time out with friends eating and they ask so many questions and the weightloss is already noticeable on me. my husband has been really good. my mother in law lives next door (think my big fat greek wedding, thats us)except his maltese same same. so she's been providing him with food which she does even if I have fed him apparently daughter in laws never provide husbands with enough food!
anyway sorry for all the writting feel free to ask any questions this is really good to help keep me motivated
