Jamie’s Fasting Journal

I’m here to do. 21 day fast for weight and spiritual growth.
Day one is a challenge because I’m coming off of. Pretty high carb holiday season.
Hoping to gain some mental fortitude and stamina and push past my longer fast (54 hours)
Glad to find a community of support for the next three week journey

Morning of day two.
I experienced some irritability last night, and had to really ask my family to be mindful about food talk and meal planning. They were happy to accommodate me, and I spend much of the day retreating with a book or bible study.

I woke up this morning feeling that low buzz that begins as your body moves toward depletion of glucose. This is encouraging and it feels good to not feel so stuffed (which was a constant feeling for me this holiday season).

I am anticipating that things will get challenging this evening, but I’ve got several meditations handy and pray that my family pitches in to encourage me as I get past what has been my longest fasting period thus far.

It’s good you have family support. What I’ve noticed from being in this community since just about the beginning that lacking a support system is a significant cause for people not reaching their fasting goals.
