so, I'm fasting again.
So I'm on the seventh day of a fast. It has only been water and teas and onion broth, though I dropped the onion broth after the 3rd day. I had a bowl of rice on day five and a salad on day sixth, but that was because I was hoping to get my digestive system going...with no luck. I don't feel bloated though, and the first "healing crisis" symptoms are going away: headache, lightheaded, nausea, weakness. I also developed a skin rash, which is normal. Tomorrow and for the rest of the week, I will add juices, and raw fruits and veggetables. I really want to learn to appreaciate those foods, and of course, learn to digest them more easily. The third and fourth days were the hardest, but now it feels like I got over the bump and the rest should be fine. When I did it in October, I didn't lose any weight. But so far, I lost ten pounds. A lot of it is water of course, and it doesn't really show on my body, though my pants are a little loose and some rings don't really fit anymore. So we'll see what the end result is.
