Now I am just hoping the remainder of my fast goes just about how the last day or so has been.... we will see!!   [End]

I would maintain a weight around 115 pounds and had the appetite of a 200lb man. Almost four years ago I was in a very serious car accident, that broke 16 bones and required about an 8 month recovery until I fe ...
