Has my real hunger returned? I can't tell!!!!

Hi - This is my very 1st fast and I just completed my 12th day and was wondering if my hunger has already returned. I don't have any repulsion or disinterest in food when it's near. And I've also been to dinner with friends several times and watched them eat and became interested and attracted to the smells and the look of it. Is this an indication that the fast should be stopped?

I am very stabilized at the moment, experiencing no pain or all the horrible things I've read about. I don't even know if my body has done much cleansing. I've been a vegan for 8 months.

I'm also worried that maybe I've depleted my reserves and should end it. My weight has dropped from 173lbs to 150 in 12 days.

I'm very interested to know more about what the sensations of REAL Hunger are. Everything I've read is a little vague. Tweet
