In my experience, the fasting process is one that frees me from the distractions of buying, preparing and eating food etc. and allows me more time to focus on parts of myself that have been neglected. Now major time and energy I used for food is being used in other positive and nuturing ways like, looking and dealing with myself, ie. my thought processes, fears, priorities, excuses, emotions etc. NYCDiane posted on the board earlier about honesty and wholeness. Fasting is about letting stuff out that you don't need, so the real you can shine through. Maybe that's why just thinking about this process can make us so fearful, angry,resistant,excited,hopeful and even awed.
Fasting can be seen as an act of love, true love for yourself and for others who want you to be around for years to come. For me,Fasting is quite a humbling yet freeing experience. You're never the same.

This is a reply to # 394,685On my first night of the Master-Cleanse I was physically ill with the worst headache of my life. That night I prayed that God would help me to love myself enough to do this for myself. The next morning I felt more energy and dedicated than I had before I decieded to start the cleanse. I am on day 20!! Something I don't feel that I could have done alone.

"i've entered a new, deeply meditative phase. i've not wanted to talk on the phone. at all. i'm trying to stay off of my tv. learning how to meditate. turned in an article to a magazine in 2 days. still have not touched my 8 months late book. am going to/am doing that. have been sleeping, which i've not done in 10 years. have not smoked pot in 2 weeks. am still eliminating. up until today those eliminations still included worms. am prayerful. have not yelled at my daughter. nor the nightly news. have not weighed myself since day 6 when i was down 11. am planning a trip to the sauna. have been drybrushing before showering. put a henna in my hair this morning. shiny. am thankful for this forum and its supportive, honest posters."
In the past three days, I've had to let go of toxic relationships. Which I now have the clarity to do with love and forgiveness.

This is a reply to # 394,685This is my 2nd day and last night I was going to give in but I prayed. I prayed before I began this and this is the only way that I am going to make it. I am also happy to see that I am not alone doing this. So, having a live body to communicate with is good. But, I am looking for this to be a spiritual move for me. Girl, you have to ask for strength. Somone left some chocolate chip cookies on my desk this morning. Evil! hahahahahha
