Ok I made it to NOT weighing myself until today Lol as i said before im a scale addict so that was an achievement in itself Lol but was happy..I not only feel great inside and also the scale went from 237 to 228 this week so just another thing i made it through this week =-} so since i started Fasting at 259 just a week before finding this site until now thats 31lbs dropped and im even breathing much better! now i have noticed though my sweating has minimized.. dunno whats up with that but ok Lol its been like 98 with the humidity and while my husband and kids are pouring sweat i sit on the porch.. Not sweating at all… Hmm thats a new one to me.. but for the most part it was a very good week! 10 more pounds to go for this Water Fast weight goal (about 2 weeks left) and then i break for about 2 weeks and will give another 30 day Fast a go.. =-} so my goals of blood pressure, New eating habits(normal and healthy) and the weight and my headaches have diminished to maybe one every 3-4 days so tht pleases me alot!..So yes this is a very good Water Fast for me but then again they all have been! =-}

Sure.. I kept a “diary” through it all.. good and bad, the scary and at times hilarious( i tend to get very silly notions when unexpected things happen to me and for some reason some people find it funny) for example: at one point i thought i had anthrax during the big anthrax thing because in my business i was handling alot of mail etc and come to find out the more i researched(im big on doing my research Lol).. i had carbon monoxide poisoning so of course the doctor i was seeing at the time found that very humorous Lol.. I can write a shorter version from the diaries i kept if you would like..

Thats what I really meant I have poly cystic ovarian disease and I know if I can fast that I will get my healing it get tough when I am alone all day and I dont have anyone to call when i get cravings or any way to keep me busy . I am not able to walk in my neighborhood its nota great place to live so thats why I am wanting support. Gonna try it today being day 1 gonna do fresh vegis and salads for 5 days then juice and green tea for 5 days and then water for 5 and so on to break it up

Oh Rebecca tyvm =-} Yes i was Healed.. i am a Holistic Healer and i work with herbs etc and have for many many years as did my grandmother an so on..so i researched for months after chemo did not do anything but made me deathly Ill.. and for 6 months i drank my tea twice a day.. My Family only use A doctor to diagnose.. but again this is “My and My Families” way of life or Path if you will… i was not used to being the 350 i went up to in a matter of four months because of the thyroid cancer.. so i fasted as well as did my teas.. again though i always suggest people go by what they feel or feel is right for them because not all aides etc work for everyone.. I would be happy to give you moral support and encouragement but i dont know about coaching because i tend to slip as well Lol i just hop back on and know time will work for me and not against me if i play fair Lol The first 2 water fast i did was actually easier for me than this one Lol now i do intend to wean off in 2 weeks which will be my 30 day i dedicated myself to and it was NOT easy Lol i actually had to start a week over just before finding this site of support Lol but i am down 22lbs in almost 2 weeks so im happy Lol Then take a week or 2 to do another 30 day water fast.. i enjoy very much the way i feel and think while fasting though.. =-}

Hi ERobinM, Wow you are such an Inspiration to me. I am currently 255 lbs and I am trying so hard to hold on to a fast but I give in and then I look back and say man I would have been done. Can you coach me on this first fast and help me make it through. So did you have a healing of the cancer? My messenger is prayerful07@yahoo.com. My name is Rebecca

Yvw Bella! =-} i find my old pics before i gained the weight thnx to the thyroid issue i had and then my 350lb ones help me ALOT! Lol so now tht i did what i wanted with this fast as far as my inside work i needed done.. i look at the weight and set a goal that is like 5lbs a week.. in case i hit a plateau that way when i check and its over 6 etc i get all happy Lol and usually fasting with water or juice we lose more and i honestly think in “my” opinion we all gain more than those who dont fast of any kind because we usually.. reflect,humblize etc,and take on a more simplicity outlook of things because we are working on the inside as well.. is it hard?? pfft! YES! Lol but i keep telling myself.. ok in 3 or so weeks i can either say.. Dang i would have been done! OR i can say.. I DID IT! but we slip here and there… we just get back up and do it again… 1-4 weeks out of our busy and even not so busy lives.. i think we can afford that for the results and think we gain in the end.. again this is “My personal Opinion” =-}

Ty Bella =-} I started My first Fast When I had thyroid cancer that spread.. i tried Chemo etc and sorry it just wasnt for “me” personally.. surgery and chemo sits ok with some but for “me” it wasnt my cup of tea.. which is how i researched and made “My tea” and the fasting i actually learned from a shaman Lol and i was on my road to recovery.. of course i had these lovely extra pounds (over 200 extra lbs)it decided to drop on my feet etc Lol along with high blood pressure etc.. sooo here i am again and i will do one more after this one with a 2 week break in between.. i found this site and i can at least have a journal of some sort that i dont have to worry about it being picked through by anyone but those going through similar things and not being constantly told “you have an eating disorder” that comes from people who just do not get or understand the spiritual side of anything.. Yes i get the benefit of losing the weight as well but i also learn so much more that people cant see.. and it really keeps me humble and the clarity i get from it lets me see even the simplest things i wouldnt normally see with the hustle and bustle of things… =-} it works for me.. We should do things to Please ourself Not others.. That i learned years ago from my first fast.. i do what i do for me and if some people dont approve then i tell them…” Thats a personal problem because i didnt tell you to trail after me and do as i do” =-} sooo Here i can read and think and acquire various outlooks that either help me or let me see things from others points of views.. Good Luck! and ty for the encouragement =-} Day 2 and 3 was THE hardest this time and the other Fasts i did Lol get through those and its alot easier.. =-}
