First off, you did not fail, You achieved 25 hours of fasting. You may not have achieved your GOAL, yet that does not constitute failure, unless YOU say it does. Therefore, change your words and mind. It can be done at any time YOU CHOOSE to do that!
Secondly, there is more than a water fast you can do. There is the MC, a juice fast, which is also no chewing of food but may be easier to BEGIN with, IF you desire to accomplish a Water Only fast. There is also the option you mentioned...eat once a day. There is a Warrior Diet Forum on here...not active but if you want to read about the details of it, go check it out.
A water fast, as well as any liquid (some will contest that I am not correct here but if you go to other liquid fast forums, those who have achieved it, will contest I am correct. Consequently, it is a matter of perspective.) fast will help your body correct any imbalances...any dis-eases...that you have. A water fast is a quicker route than a juice fast or MC, I have no doubt in believing.
I have done a MC and was able to work. I did a water fast for 36 hours before I chose to stop. I was not able to sustain my energy to do my job. A water fast goes to work on your body, so much quicker than the other fasts, that it is best to rest, IF you are able.
Now, with that said, there are a few who have been able to water fast and sustain their physical exercise and such.
Choose what works for you. Then stick with that choice. IF you do not accomplish it, in one, two or even more times, keep on keeping on. When you are ready for it (whichever fast or eating pattern you choose) to work, you will be able to get your mind onboard.
I have begun a raw food 'diet' today. It will consist of 90% of raw food, because I am going to drink an Amazon Rainforest tea...which is healthy (and helps cleanse the organs) but from my understanding tea, in any form, has been 'cooked'. So, if that is correct, even though I will be Sun-bathing the tea, it is not raw. That could be something to look into. Summer seems easy (easier?) for me to eat raw because of the desire NOT to cook!
In whatever you CHOOSE, blessings to you.
Peace,
Beth
