Waterfasting QOD, tobacco no more

Tuesday I water fasted.  Other than the coffee and creamer I had in the morning, the rest was water, and lots of it.  I also cut out cigarettes.  I'm ready to get well again, inside and out.  So, the water fast was fine...I probably could have gone longer, but I wanted to take a walk so I broke the fast the next day with a light salad.  Yesterday I also ate a cucumber with garlic salt and for dinner I had a small portion of baked chicken, mixed vegetables and a piece of cheese bread.  I want to water fast every other day, but I feel it will be too difficult on the weekends with all of the activities I do....so, I am starting with a Tues/Thurs regimen. Today is Thursday, so I will fast.  Tonight is my daughter's ice cream social at the pool...this will be my only challenge.  My cravings are normally not for sweets, so I think I will do just fine!

Fastermellow

Yesterday I decided to to a 24 hour waterfast.  This morning, 24 hours later, I feel good.  I dont have the hunger pangs I had last night.  My eyes are burning a bit, but I think that has to do with my contacts (I need to break that habit) and I have a tad bit of headache...but other than that Im feeling OK.  My goal in this is to break my addiction to cigarettes (day 2) and to food.  The latter, I was not extremely concious of until recently.  "thinking..." I downloaded Noble Hearts Meditation the other day and I have been listening to it and going through the guided meditation.  I am not sure what I am searching for, but I know the search is needed. Roommate situation is just ok...I must continue to ride through her unstable emotional patterns.  I have a room, with a door.
