new fast!

[lisamarieraw]

hello everyone! this is my first post here (my 1st of many i foresee :-)
so i have tried to fast several times usually not being successful due to temptation. However the last time i tired i felt horrible (this time it was about 70% water) until the end of the 2nd day when i all of a sudden felt ELATED. i felt like i was understanding patterns in my life that have always eluded me. i felt so grateful to be alive and just wanted to dive into life. i felt unconditional love in every direction and toward everyone...even those who have done me harm.
so OBVOUISLY i want to go deeper into this and see what could happen. today has been my first day and i have had 99% water. i don't feel hungry at all and am in a great mood. i'm not sure how long i should aim for and how much juice/water i should break it up with. also is it actually harmful to juice non organic? if so, i may have to switch to a water fast for now. do you think a buddy would be wise? i also am worried about losing too much weight.
thanks everyone in advance for any knowledge...i have been introduced to raw food about a year and half ago and have been "dabbling” in it since then. i feel like i am about to DIVE into it now as it is almost all i think about  I sort of have a crush on the raw food philosophy!

There is usually always a 30 Day Fast going on here, usually beginning the First of the Month. I juice non-organic and organic, it all depends on what I have at the Moment. There are some here who only do Organic. Its your Journey.....

I don't think you lose THAT much weight, maybe depending your present weight already. There are as many reasons to Fast as days in a Month but in the end its All about YOU. So take it one day at a time and with every Fast you learn More about yourself and whatever lesson you are seeking at the moment.

I wish you everything you need to Stay RAW..........Welcome to MY World.

When you have a fast try to have fruit one time in your diet, I always prefer to have fruits in my diet. How much you loose your weight is totally depends on your present weight and body type.
