I am not on a fast at the moment, I will take some time to ease into things, I will try incorporating more of fruits into my diet. The first plan is to eliminate chocolate and icecreams. I will replace this with fruits. And I will plan one day of water fast a week or maybe not a water fast but atleast a fruit fast for a day each week. And I will see how that goes. Will let you know too. That way I would feel accountable too. Thanx fr ur support.   [End]

Thanks PH. Had never done a water fast before, I did research quite a bit but dint know taxing your body during a fast is not the way. I thought it was quite normal to go to office, get other chores done after work hours etc. In fact I did quite a lot of work and also ran up and down 5 flight of stairs at least 7-8 times a day.(office departments on diff floors- need to coordinate-I prefer stairs than waiting for the elevator so). During the lunch break, I sat alone in the pantry with a cup of hot water and watched others eat. I had to deal with other temptations too like colleagues snacki ...

Thank you for the info. Will try to. Maybe it just can’t happen overnight as I expected, can it. I was hoping the water fast would reset it all easily. But that dint happen, I am planning to start focusing more on fruits not like a fast but more of a fruit and veg diet. I think eating 3 meals a day of the packaged ready foods or fastfood has ruined by body big time. I probably need to change these habits and gradually start cooking myself, at least I would know what I am really putting into my body. Will this take long? Have you always been this good- as in taking care of your food habit ...

I just broke the fast, I was just too hungry and staying around people eating I just decided it was enough, may be a day and a half, I was too tempted I guess and it was toooo tooo hard and was so damn tempted and I ordered some food. I was feeling perfectly ok then and dint feel bad about it, but now I feel so bad. I could have controlled the urge to eat, I was doing well and now I ruined it all. And if I need to get to Day 3 of the water fast I have to start all over again, that’s too damn hard for me now mentally   [End]

Hi PH, I am on Day 2 now and even though its getting harder, I have the will power now to say NO and not give in to any cravings, at least until now. But the thought of never having it ever, not sure how to deal with that. As you said junk foods like Maccas/KFC have real bad stuff and illegal chemicals and God knows what-so I am quite convinced here and may be able to shun the fast foods. But what about cream pastries like chocolate cake/cream cakes/donuts? Please help me to stop all of this completely too. But my heart is really not willing to give up on pastries, I love Cheesecak ...

Can I ask you something about your experience with Water Fasting? Do you not feel hungry or not have any cravings during the first few days? And how do you overcome this? How do you keep at it? Do you never feel like ’ forget the fast, i am going to get something to eat right now’ and break it. If I am able to deal with this, I will be able to do it. I have planned to give it a try tomorrow atleast for a day.   [End]

Thanks PineappleHead for this post. Thankyou for taking the time to put this down. Even though I havent been the healthiest today, atleast I have started trying. Usually I try to water fast until evening and just give in to cravings and eat the worst foods possible like icecreams cakes pizza chips everything thats bad and I would binge on them. Sometimes I wonder if i was that hungry and then realize that I was never realy hungry to begin with. The thought of the water fast was the reason I had the unusual cravings in the first place. I dont know why that is. Lucky for me i happened to s ...

Hi PineappleHead wowww that was so motivating.Thank you for this. I almost gave up. But reading this makes me feel I can do this too. I will go slow but as you said will start a juice fast or a fruit one and slowly transition into the WF. Then it should be easier. Thankyou. What about when there are parties or treats at work? How do I develop the willpower to say NO to all of this- especially with Christmas coming up I am worried. How are you doing on your papaya melon fast?   [End]

I hate that I am saying this, but is it ok to give up on the fast, take matters into my own hands, start a healthy diet and have a good lifestyle and just watch what I eat and do. My main reason for this was weight loss but maybe my mindsets not right and that could be the reason I am failing as I dont have enough motive to do this. I am not fat nor at a bad weight, but not the best either. I just want to stop at this and be free and feel normal. Is this possible or am i too desperate. i feel really sad that I struggle at this. I just felt water fasting was the easy way out to see wonders ...

Hi Guys I will be starting a water fast tomorrow. I really need some support. I have been procrastinating for long, actually not,I have been trying to do this for the last 2 weeks. I have been trying to start this every morning for the last few days and I manage to keep at it until evening, when I finally give up and overeat. I really want to do this, so I decided if I talk to people here I may be able to as I would feel accountable. I would really like company and also would like to post updates. I hope I will finally be able to start it tomorrow. Love and regards to all who are reading ...
