not much to report.. I will say that my weightloss has slowed down now I know I should just check once a week but of course I’m impatient but my goal for this water fast is 180 so I hope I can make that in the next 14 days not sure though.. Anyway still I’m cool with what I’ve lost so far. I have had a headache for the past two days
]]>up .2lbs 197.0
I assume it’s due to the exercise*running* I did yesterday I always swell after an exercise for some reason. Anyway doing well almost 1/2 way over. Just posting this to keep myself on track.. Happy fasting everyone.
]]>weight 196.8

OMGoodness was I depressed last night. I am figuring out that all the emotions I eat away I am having to face them during this water fast. It sucks but it’s good. My hubby is being really supportive and listening and encouraging me to continue b/c last night I told him I’m going to end this on Eid day(day 20) We are muslim and I’m suppose to be fasting for Ramadan right now but I suck I couldn’t hack the no water all day during 18hrs so I chose to do this water fasting thur the month of Ramadan and then when the hours are shorter making up my ramadan fast.
Ron thanks for the information I have seen that lady on youtube she’s very inspiring to make 3 40 day water fast wow how God blessed her no doubt. As far as the fast 5 I noticed if I eat first thing I’m snacking all day but if I eat later I just eat that b/c my mind set is don’t eat after 7pm you know so I will most likely try it and let you guys know how it works.

Yup, I’m familiar with the Fast 5. A few here have tried it. I don’t know anyone who said it works. It seems like a diet to me. With all the restrictions, why not just eat 3 small, healthful meals a day? It will do the same thing without torturing yourself. Personally, I believe a fast should be a fast. Why complicated it with food windows?
When not fasting…I usually have fruit and yogurt, or fruit and oatmeal in the morning. A big, variety salad at lunch, and an average portion of whatever the wife cooks at night.
I stay away from, or limit: dairy products, wheat products, red meat, sugar and alcohol. And I treat me and the wife to a night out once a month, to whatever we want! Works great!! After eating the right things for a long time, even the “night out” turns into a natural food event! You just don’t crave the crap anymore!!
Everything you’re feeling, and experiencing during your fast is natural. If you want to channel your anger, do it towards the “foods” that made you fast in the first place!
You ate it all a million times!
It was there long before your fast.
It will be there long after your fast.
But, your fast is only a very, very short eye blink in comparison!
Cheer up! You’ll thank yourself when it’s over. And you will want to fast again soon after! God Bless! Ron

ok so last night sucked.. I seriously got so angry that I couldn’t eat everyone was feeling the wrath of Moma.. I’m not sure why it bothered me so much last night but it was horrible, I wanted everything in site.. I was so made everyone else could eat but me. Had a little right arm pain in my shoulder area, I had bad back pain, and extreme cravings again..I’m getting a little agrrivated with my weight slowly climbing down but I do know it’s going down but I wish it was at a fast pace anyway I don’t know if I’m retaining water from my monthly or what but this morning I woke up all swollen.. I think I’ve had it with this water fasting but I’m determined to not give up. I want to eat so bad it’s not even funny however I’m not hungry. I know it’s my mind playing games on me but wow what a power struggle it is for me to compete with my brain.. I won last night and hopefully today will be a better day.
Ron or anyone for that matter what do you think about the fast 5 as I am thinking of doig it when I’m done with the water fasting.. Any experience with this.
]]>weight 198.4 so .2lbs down which is ok.. I am happy to see day 10 20 more days to go.. Nothing to report really as far as symptoms go but I am doing well and happy with my progess so far and look forward to my 20 days being up to see the results and start eating healthier..
]]>Day 9
Weight 198.6 I am happy to see the numbers dropping.
Headache today, slight back ache but I do have my monthly. I will say this I should water fast for 10days during it b/c my symptoms are hardly there this month which I love b/c I can’t hardly stand myself on this days.
I was craving pizza and chocolate well at least my brain was I’m not hungry but I over come that craving and still have my mind on the prize in 30days. I’m so happy I’ve made it 9 days so far and am certain I will make it 20 more..
Weight 199.8 Finally under 200 I’m very happy about that.
So when on a family day today and boy am I exhausted it really takes it out of you when you’ve had nothing but water and are walking for hours.
All in all good day hunger was intense today for some reason, but I didn’t get my normal amount of water in today. I have notices the inches melting away on my arms, and my face is looking pretty good as well the dry patches are healing.
Ron thanks for the informations
Willpower thanks for the encouragement it means alot. I thought to myself 22 more day but my goal is 180 during this fast and I will continue till that goal is met or exceeded so I am very much determined to jump start my weight loss and healthy life style. I plan on doing the fast 5 after this water fast is broken..
