Re: day one: i have questions i NEED answered paleeez :D

You could try reading up about natural hygiene. That is an education in itself about good dietary habits. To me one of the ultimate goals of fasting is for me to change my diet to include around 80% raw foods, and very little junk or overly processed foods in the rest. Most of the foods that are so easily available today are very bad for us with often little food value and often a lot of stuff in it that isn't food at all but which our bodies have to process somehow. Eating mostly raw foods allows our bodies the best opportunity to get the nutrients it needs and absorb them easily, as well as keeping our systems clean and strong enough to process the rest of what we eat.
As for advice on what you could do from now... It depends I think on how strongly you feel you can stick to a fast. Coming on and off a fast after a day or so isn't as dangerous as breaking it badly after say a 10 day fast- in the short term. However if you keep breaking the fast with 'bad' foods you are continuing you could fall back into a ed habit.
I have two suggestions, read up on natural hygiene, and if you can find an old copy, read 'Fit for Life' by Harvey Diamond. It's an old book from the 80's but you might still be able to find it, even in a market or second hand book shop. It was very popular and explains natural hygiene very well.
Or, if you are still desperate to fast focus not on the fast itself but on how you plan to break it. Then even if it only lasts a day or two you don't have to see it as a failure at all.
I break my fasts with soft raw fruits- melons if I can get them, and mandarins or oranges. Then fresh fruit juice after, and then more soft fruits again. Small portions of each rather than large meals to start with.
I have a sister who had anorexia and bulemia so I know what a fine line it can be, or at least look like from the outside. When refeeding the body after a fast it MUST be with real food that the body can digest easily and absorb the nutrients, if we reintroduce half-foods, that is foods that have had the nutrients cooked or otherwise processed out of them, we risk starving our bodies of important nutrients. When fasting our body is able to maintain a perfect balance of making what we need to live from our stores, and when we refeed the body needs whole foods to provide it with the same quality of nutrients and that can only come from raw natural foods.

Whichever way you go, best of luck with attaining your goals!

Take care,

Andrew.
