30 Days
30 days now!
I am relieved and exceedingly happy that this milestone has been reached and will enjoy each additional day from here as a bonus in terms of cleansing, healing and all other benefits. Especially important to me is the additional healing of my heart which drives me more than anything else to continue... and the prospect of possibly reaching completion is not far behind.
Physical hunger remains at absolute zero as has been the case for the past 27 days. My desire to eat is moderately strong, a desire limited entirely to the healthiest organic whole foods, but has yet to become overwhelming.
As such, i plan to continue this fast a day at a time, hoping foremost to reach genuine hunger (a difficult and highly unpredictable goal) or at least arrive at a place where i am feeling strong and otherwise great, something that is not true at the moment... as my detoxing body persists in weakness, a weakness that has been characteristic of the entire fast, though i seem to have made it through a state of heightened weakness which went from about day 23-27.
Starting at 177 pounds, my weight is a skeletal 142 with an estimated 9.25 pounds of fat loss, 24.5 pounds of temporary loss consisting predominately of water and 1.25 pounds of easily re-buildable protein-type tissue, again much of it unhealthful as the fasting body will preferentially choose to utilize the worst tissue first.
I am estimating my body fat to be about 7-9 percent, something i would very much like to maintain upon refeeding. If i was to break the fast today, i would expect my weight to be about 165-168 three weeks later with all of the temporary water loss back on my body.
