5+ Day water fast

[tinystrawberry]

I really feel like I need a water fast. I have been eating dairy for the last two days (yuck) and I feel depressed and discusted with myself.

Anyway, if anyone is up for it, feel free to join me.
If you have any information to share about water fasting, please do!
:)

When are you starting? I only have 6 days until school starts so I'd like to fast within that time personally.

[tinystrawberry]

I'm starting today. 6 days until school?! Wow, my school starts on September 6th. Are you going to fast for 5 days?

[dreamrawalwz]

Yea. I have some apples I may have to juice if I don't have energy for Jujitsu Tuesday-Thursday. I'm determined to do this. I have to get over my cravings and normalize my eating patterns. How are you going to break this? I'm going to start tomorrow so I'll be a day behind you.

Hey, there.

I'll fast with you guys -- I need it. I don't know if I can do a 5 day water fast, though. I'll do a juice fast. I'll start tomorrow as well.

Hey! I've been meaning to email you!

[PDMagnusen]

I've been meaning to email you as well! :) I hope you are doing well.

I'm talking to a few other rawbies I've recently met. I found a NOVA meet up that happens the 1st. In Sept. it's in Arlington and was wonderinf if you're interested?

I didn't start today, because well, i got hungry and caved in :] but I lasted until 6:30, and I ate raw because I'm now commited to it forever!!! (thanks to Misslinda)

I guess I'll be starting tomorrow as well as you girls!
What's your favorite thing about fasting!?!
I'd have to the feeling of pureness and feeling like I don't need to depend/think/worry about food!

Wish you all luck in your fast :) :)

What's your favorite thing about fasting!?!


Probably just thinking about how good it is for my body.

The feeling of self control.

The wonderful feeling of accomplishment when you have completed it.

i'm going on a fast, starting tomorrow [Tuesday] and ending Friday morning. If i make it, it'll be the longest fast i've ever accomplished. [0n water] *Excited* :p

Hope you have good fasting days! :)

[tinystrawberry]

I'm excited for you!! i love the feeling of completing the longest fast i've ever completed (if that makes sense)! !

hope your fast is the best fast ever!

I've never been able to fast healthily on just water. I mean in my previous life (or so it seems now) i used to fast on sugar free gum and diet drinks...not too healthy if you ask me. So now it's a huge test. It seems that you all have done this before...any advice? I need all the help I can get. I've tried this before, but hard issues came up (that misslinda fasting thread).

[PDMagnusen]

Fasting allows me to clear my mind. I like the feelings of peace and calmness I feel during the process. I am entirely too active to do a water fast (I work for a consulting firm, and I am always on the go), but juice fasts work well for me.

dreamrawalwz, I am already signed up with the NOVA meet up. I'm going to the meet up this Saturday, but I haven't heard about one for September yet. Do you want to go to the one this Saturday?

Sure! I didn't see any information about that one. Could you let me know the when/where information...perhaps in an email? I'd love to go!

Dreamrawawlz, here's a link about water fasting and fasting in general. Perhaps it'll explain some things.

Hey! can I join you all?!! :D

I need to go get myself some distilled water today. Well, the plastic container holding it is toxic, but it's all I can afford right now. :o

[dreamrawalwz]

Made it about half way through. It's the most I've ever gone in years, but I still feel like a failure. I gave in to my cravings of salt, avocado, and tomatoes. To me that means I have a sensativity to them. It takes me 3 days to get them out of my system completely so we'll see. I plan on starting again and going for another 2.5 days and break it when I see PDMagnusen on Saturday at the NOVA raw meet-up!!
