So this is my 2nd attempt. I lasted about 7 hours first time, which is pathetic. so now I'm at first day again and I'm not really that hungry. I spoke to my mother today and she told me my sisters graduation is the 23rd of this month. whew. I can already hear my cousins and family saying "OH MY" "what happened to you!" gosh i hate them. I wonder how much weight I can lose before than if I stay strong. Anybody have any ideas?? I'm 5'7 175lbs and am doing a Water Fast diet. My ideal weight is 135/140lbs Oh and can I smoke cigarettes while fasting? I've limited myself to one so far. It helps with the hunger pains. I guess watching the food network non-stop probably doesn't help either. Somebody, Anybody comfort me!!!!
