Yea, it's TRUE!!!! I'm actually in uncharted territory!!!! I'm doing a 1 day fast with ONLY water!!!!

I know, I know....I'm the scaredy Carrot!!!! I know, I know... But I really wanted to try it for some time now.

So far, so good!!!! My tummy is grumbling, though!!!! I sound like a bear!!!!! LOL!!!!! But, I've only had water. I expect I'll be good to go until about noon, because I've done that plenty of times. But, I usually have my Green Juice at that time, so I'm gonna stay clear of the kitchen!

My homeschooling kids don't need me at the moment, so I'm off to sip more water and meditate outside under my tree...

    I drink a litre (quart) of water first thing... then another one every time I pee until I have 4 litres in me. The rest of the day I sip water.

    I find it shuts down my hunger pronto!

    Aleesha, I just can't drink that much right off. I probably only manage about 3 litres a day when water fasting. I drink it spread out over the course of the day. How are you doing Renee?

    Yea...I'm definitely not drinking enough. I don't know why, but I'm kinda scared to put anything into my mouth. Well, maybe scared isn't the right word. Maybe just not wanting to eat/drink anything at all. (which I know is not good to do....).

    I will drink a liter right now....

    You need to hydrate your body when you are fasting. Sooooo important to do that. It's amazing how much better you feel when you get more fluids into you.

    Glad you are feeling better.

    And Mystic, I literally force the first litre down... and then my body says "HECK YA" to the next one LOL

    I generally gauge my hydration by the colour of my pee. Renee, you actually feel less hungry when you drink and I feel that it helps to retrain you to drink when you think you are hungry so that you are better able to know when you are really hungry. Then because I do it every week now, I have really reset my appetite and my thinking too.

    Man....I'm caving you guys!!!! I had to make Enchiladas for my family and smelling them in the dehydrator is proving to be too much for me...

    I was fine until I had to uncook!!! The kids have been fending for themselves all day and I've stayed out of the kitchen. But, now I'm wanting to eat...

    Next time I know to make their dinner early (even the day before the fast) so I can stay outta the kitchen.

    It's been a gr8 day, though!!!! My last meal was yesterday evening, so technically it has been a day. :)

    Well done Renee. You really thought you couldn't do it and you were wrong . . . you did :)

    I'm learning to like the smells that are enticing - like expensive brandy that you are meant only to sniff :)
