I am glad that there are so many people starting a fast at the same time. It is so fun to go along with other people and know that you are not alone! I do understand that it is hard to do a fast when the people around don't understand. They really just haven't researched it to know the many benefits fasting can have on the body. I sure hope we can encourage each other, Nancy. Are you going to post every day? I almost have to for the encouragement! Good luck today and God Bless you on your endeavors.
