Re: Only made it 9 days on 30 day water fast
9 days is awesome!! You should feel so proud.
The man I admire the most in this world is my boss at the coffee house I work at. He has been a raw foodist for 15 years and has completed two 40 day
Water Fasts and dozens of other fasts over 10 days. He is a champion of will power....
His best advice to me on fasting was to "fast for one day at a time" meaning...tell yourself that you're fasting for one day....24 hours. You tell this to yourself every day and you applaud yourself for making it one more day. If you achieve 30 days than way to go!! If you achieve 10...al the better....but only go one day at a time.
Realistic goals are key. I'm on day 3 of my water fast. I don't know how long I will do it...until I feel ready to quit I suppose...but I wake up every morning and think....just have to make it through today....that's it.
You can do it!! Do it for health - for your future and try and remember the reward. Food will ALWAYS be there. You deserve to be healthy and confident in yourself and 9 days and 12lbs is INCREDBILE!!
Keep up the good work!
