Hi Veteran Fasters!
I am wondering if anyone would mind my asking some personal questions, that may seem pretty trivial in the whole scheme of life and health?
I am wondering how your body composition is after you have released a significant amount of weight from water fasting?
I am beginning my journey of what I pray to be several extended water fasts, that are primarily for personal/spiritual reasons. However I DO have weight to release, probably a MAXIMUM of 50lbs... Would be shocked if it were more, since I haven't weighed below that since I was a sophomore in highschool. I am 37 now.
I am just wondering what it does to you? I am trying to relax and not fear getting saggy and wrinkly. Especially since I won't be exercising much...
Would anyone care to quell my nagging thoughts?
I want to do this for health reasons as well as spiritual, so I don't doubt that even if I ended up looking like a wrinkly mess from national geographic, I would be in a better place physically... It would just be so tremendously disappointing to feel yuckier about myself after the whole thing, than before I began.
I am sure that won't happen, but could sure use a shot in the arm! ; )
Thanks to anyone willing to chime in!
