Another update on Day 1

More updates on the water fasting. The headache isn't very bad. Just slightly there--a slight pressure like I've sometimes felt before--presumably from stress. Sometimes the pressure increases and I want to press on my head to hold it in, but most of the time I don't notice it too much.

I am also feeling, however, a strangeness in my mouth. Like it's trying to digest itself--or at least turn itself inside out. Although, come to think of it, that sounds fairly logical too ;)


I brushed my teeth this morning of course, and I shall continue to twice a day. It'd be really nice if this water fast could be helping my teeth as well. My mom told me that, when we eat a lot of sugar, it changes our saliva so that it tries to digest more (or something) so it's harder on our teeth. Hopefully it'll chemically change back to a good place.


I hope I can eat more healthily after. And really--I'm pretty sure this will have been good for me either way.

And I haven't yet been dastardly hungry. I felt a few hunger pains at 9:30am, 11:45 and maybe again at 3ish? But really the water keeps me feeling mostly full. Very nice. :)

And, regarding the 'no food' thing, I have thought 'well I'll miss all this nice food'--but really--food are like clothes. I could care less. Now, that is not entirely true--I prefer food over clothes, and so if I give away something that I'll want later, aaah well.

And good food will always come around again, or I can make it or buy it--or even something better. It's just the way it is.

My sister, Anna, realized recently that she might like clothes more than food..I am --too bad for my waistline--of the opposite opinion. She was even more excited to realize that, with eating less food, she'll fit into even cooler clothes. I can see it working--just it'd take a while for me.

However, this water fast is truly helping me realize, I can cope fine without food. Yes, it's only the first day, and, yes, I've thought about and wrote about food already several times today--but still. I feel freeer. And it is good. (and can freeer really have 3 e's in a row??? ;) haha)

A single tummy rumble at 5 o'clock. Not bad :)

And hadn't really thought about eating food until now--5:06. cheese. Nice and filling. Yes, well, I'll have cheese in 7 days when I eat again. Oh, and I am probably going to have my 'farewell' party in 8 days--so I should be able to eat for that ;) wait no--in 10 days. So I could do 10...I guess we'll see when I hit that 'ravenously hungry' stage. And then I'll know I'm ready to eat again. *hmm. intriguing. I 'm excited for this experiment!*

At first I really thought this whole thing crazy--far too dramatic and far too extreme--and now I am hopelessly converted *eyebrows raised with a shrug* Amazing how fast it happened :)

Really--after my mom told me about that woman who did 7 days--I kept thinking about it. I thought that perhaps if I just ate little, it'd be just teasing my body--instead of just going cold-turkey. And here I am. Going cold-turkey. Or, in my brain "kalte Truthahn" ;)

One more thing: productivity. Wowie. I've been working solid! Now, that's not strictly true, because I've been blogging and whatnot--but wowie! I haven't had to take a lunch break or anything. (Just potty breaks from all the water I've been drinking ;) ) I will have worked 8 1/2 hours today. Rock on!
