DAY 3 Getting a little harder

A few weeks ago I attempted to fast since I had been sitting around all day from a broken foot. I had an awful time with severe headaches and upset stomach. I managed 4 days though and dropped about 14 lbs. My foot is healing now and I'm hobbling around a bit so I decided to fast one more time before I have to go back to work. This time I prepared with a vegetarian diet and then juices and a garlic lemon juice cocktail for a few days before the fast. As a result day 1 and 2 went by surprisingly easy since the last time it was hard. This time around I'm not losing much weight. Perhaps 1.5 lbs a day or less. Yet I'm not at the end of the 3rd day and it is starting to get difficult. I actually avoid food by cooking amazing vegetarian 3 course meals for my family that i can't wait to make for myself when the fast is over. It seems my creativity and overall intelligence is higher for some strange reason although my brain is getting so less energy. Anyway, today day 3 was harder and I started feeling hungry with a slight headache. Again I need some encouragement because my mind keeps trying to convince me to try some of my own leftovers. Yet I know I can just make the same thing when the fast is over, so I'm not missing anything. Will my hunger go away?

I should add that I feel praying for others seems to be most powerful during this time so perhaps I should just ask God to help me through this and I'll be fine. Tweet
