Hello everyone. New to the boards but not to fasting. I am embarking on a 16 day fast starting midnight, when I always begin my fasts. This is for both physical and spiritual reasons, both obviously intertwined. I would love to do a complete fast, but I am in school right now and 16 days seems to me the longest I can comfortably go under the circumstances. I have completed 30 days before, almost two years ago, but since then have fallen back into old, destructive habits and feel a longer fast is needed. I will set out on another one over summer, perhaps to completion but at least well over 16 days. Nonetheless a fast now is necessary so I will be logging it here. Hope we can mutually support each other on our journeys. Happy fasting!
