My Water Fast

[blackrose918]

I am determined to lose with horrible weight that is just suffocating my happy joyful spirit slowly. Therefore I am taking part in a 40 day fast effective as of 12am Wednesday morning (aka now lol). If Jesus could do it, so can I (human or not) I am determines. I have nothing planned for the next 40 days so I need support and guidance in doing this. All comments welcome...
The more the merrier, and it gives me another distraction

Holy God, 40 days. I'm pretty sure even Jesus almost died, darling. Good luck--I'm fasting too but I let myself have a day of steamed greens once in a while. I hate being cold--that's the worst part about fasting!

P.s -r working during that time?

[blackrose918]

yes I am working to keep myself busy =)
I've been able to fast for 14 days (which was the initial plan) and I lost weight so I'm aiming for the first 2 weeks and then after that check point it gets really easy. I've done my research and 40 days won't kill me. In fact it will allow for joints to heal over and my digestive track to repair at the same time losing weight. Unfortunately my plans to start yesterday failed because I had a party and I was forced to eat but I've got a doctor's appointment for blood tests to I have to start my fast today.
I shall keep you all posted...and besides now I've said it I couldn't bare going against my word =S
Shall Post 2moro on beginning progress =]

I'll be fasting this week and most of the month of december so pm or email me if you want support: evangeline1980@live.com

OK thankyou.
Also some people have been drinking tea on the water fast.
Is that allowed? I know coffee is definately out of the question because of those disguisting oils, but tea...it makes a good appetite suppressant at times of desperation so I am justr wondering.

[Professorana]

I think green tea is perfectly fine. It boosts the metabolism and there are no oils

[blackrose918]

ok well i shall have the black tea when they go 2 maccas 2night for tea (me and my mates) and tell em i already ate. Green tea all week it is =]

So today is day two and well yesterday I was lucky to get by. Me and my friends went iceskating and were eating chips in the canteen...I managed to resist all urges to eat anything and now I am on day two with some terrible cramps so I really don't feel like eating at all. I hope today is as sucessful as yesterday =]
