For anyone keeping track (me!) this is day two....technically I am 39 hours into my water fast.
I feel fine, normal, and pretty much okay. The only thing I have to report is I had very vivid dreams last night, of food! In the first part of my dream, shrimp cocktail was involved. The second part of my dream, I was cooking scrambled eggs and bacon. Weird. I really don't remember even dreaming about food before. I know my brain is thinking about food, because I am not supposed to be thinking about food. The irony, right?
Besides my dreams, I am feeling little to no temptation through most of the day. I don't watch much tv, but the food commercials are constant! I never really noticed before, but they are there. At least one or two per commercial break on network tv. Maybe food commercials should be banned, just like cigarrete commercials were. If obesity is such an epidemic in America, maybe we should stop tempting people. I will step off my soap-box now :) Anyway, I find myself thinking...oh, that looks good. Even cartoon characters eating popcorn got my brain going. I am actually surprised that my brain has nothing better to do!
So far, cooking for and feeding my son hasn't been a problem, either. I am no more tempted than I am by the commercials. Actually, at this point, I wouldn't even call it temptation. Maybe a fixation. Because I don't feel the urge to eat when I see food, or cook food, but I am drawn in to the details, sounds and smells.
For anyone worrying, I have received a doctor's okay to do this water fast. I will be seeing him every ten days throughout my fast to make sure I am ok. So, no worries! Also, I know that I have this planned as a 40 day water fast, but if I feel like my body is not doing well, I will stop at any point. My health is more important than anything else.
Thanks for reading!
