I agree...it's like it's acceptable to treat your body poorly, but look for a healthy and natural alternative and that's when people start hounding you. It was like this at first with my family and friends. Then, I stopped telling them, or they just got happy I was attempting to deal with my weight gain. Now, I know I am the only one who can be strong for me and make myself healthier. My family members try, but ultimately I am the one who chooses.

I did a 12 day water fast and a 12 day juice fast before. I remember it getting a little difficult again around day 10. This time I will push myself to day 14 and go from there. On the hardest days it's best to think about the smallest goals. Take care! You're doing great and you are leading those of us who are only a few days behind you. Keep it up!

(Please make sure to drink enough water and to do enemas or salt water flushes. I didn't abide by these simplest of rules and had to end my water fast at 12 days before.)
