30th day of a 30 day water fast
I can not believe it is the last day of my water fast. It went way more faster then all my other fasts. I feel great today and I weighed myself and I have lost 50 pounds. I know I will gain some of that weight back but I feel so good. I just know that this fast has changed how I feel about so many things I have been doing in my life. I am not going to waste anymore of my life on what other people think I should do with my life. I spent too many years doing what I thought other people wanted me… Continue

23rd day of a 30 day water Fasting.
I am feeling very light and a little dizzy. I have been cold for the last few days but it is cold here so even if I was not fasting I would be cold. I have to remember to get up slower otherwise I get a little dizzy. But it is fine when I am standing or sitting I just get light headed with sudden movements. I have not weighed myself I plan to at the end of the fast. I did not want to make this fast about weight.
I was having pain in my hip area from when I was in a car accident years ago… Continue

9th day of 30 day water fasting
I can not believe it is already day 9 on this water fast. Day 7 was hard so I just rested more then usual. I am not feeling the cold as much as I usual do when I am water fasting. My emotions are still intense and I felt angry yesterday and today and I am trying to just rest and breath through it. I plan to weigh myself at the end since this fast is not about weigh even though I need to lose it. This fast is for me to figure some things out. I do not talk about my fast to anyone in my life… Continue

Third day of a 30 day water fast
I am feeling good. I had a lot of energy yesterday and just felt happy. Today is usually the hardest for me but so far so good. I went for a long walk yesterday and it was refreshing.
My emotions are more intense and I know this will continue through out the fast. I plan to have a sauna tonight and I want to try to get to sleep earlier.

Loren Lockman said… - Hi Gia. Blood pressure always drops when fasting, even when already lower than normal. If you are not getting enough water, blood pressure would be even lower. Please be very careful as the greatest danger for most people fasting is getting up too quickly and passing out. How much water people need to drink varies with many factors and can change from day to day depending on what your body is doing. As old waste breaks down it will absorb water and your water needs can go up dramatically...

CheL said… - thank you gia,
i think you're right.
i like your idea about videotaping the fast. it would be very interesting to see the changes day to day and during refeeding. would probably make a groovy documentary-a backwards supersize me!
