Just have to share ...

I have NEVER broken a fast without turning into an insane eating machine (ALWAYS cooked, often SAD), but LOVE how I feel when I'm fasting. So, for awhile I figured I shouldn't fast. But for years have had in the back of my mind to fast one day a week, so I figured now was as good a time as any ... last week I tried a water fast (one day) and caved at about 4:00. Ok, that didn't work so hot. So THIS week I decided to do a juice fast for one day (yesterday), I successfully made it through the day AND (drum roll please ...) I BROKE my fast this morning with a smoothie and just had a raw salad for lunch. The crazy lady didn't come to visit! I just need to remind myself sometimes I need to take BABY STEPS. I figured I'll practice breaking my ONE day fast each week, and I can work up to more for in the future when I want to do an extended fast again.

Blessings,
Heather

Baby steps sounds good. Take it slow and don't beat yourself up over it.

Congrats on the successful fast and you're right - baby steps is the best way to do it (I also think a juice fast is better than just a water fast but that's just me :D ).

oh man I am so glad I am not the only one. Yesterday I did a fast and broke my fast by eating a LOT and then I felt sick. I think I am going to stick to juice fasts for a while so I don't eat everything in my fridge:eek:

Congrats on the weight loss BTW I just noticed that you lost 21 lbs. that's def. something to celebrate!
