detox my body with a fast

I’m on day 4 of my current fast, and I think it is going fairly well. Day one was pretty fine; day two was pretty awful, I was just gripped by hunger. On day 3, the hunger started dissipating, but I have felt very weak. Right now, I don’t feel especially hungry at all, so that’s nice. I think I’ve really been healing so far. I’m not sure how long I’ll do this one, but I’ll let you know.

I’ve been starting out slowly with my fasts, so my body gets used to it. My first fast turned out to be 24 hours, and was made almost unbearable because my parnter Jeremy and I talked about food way too much. Afterward, I ate too much too fast and felt sooo sick. This past time, I did a 36 hour fast, and I hardly talked about food at all. I was much more at ease with myself and my body, and was able to do the whole thing quite easily. We broke the fast with juice, and I ate small meals at intervals throughout the day. I think it was really good for my body. My next one is a three-day fast!

I started a 36 hour fast today. I’m starting with shorter fasts and working up, because I want my body to get used to going for periods of time without food. I hope it goes well!
