Day 7 of Fast

This morning I weighed in at 131. It might have something to do with the limited water intake yesterday.

Last night I wanted to be done with this stomach pain so I did a colon flush (enema). Like everyone I know, I don’t like them. In this case, I disliked the pain more. A little later that night, I felt some congestion in my sinus and started to snort it out. Suddenly, it felt choking and my reflex was to throw up. I did so shortly after.
I won’t describe it much but to say it was a small amount of yellow.

This morning, I feel better and can drink more water without nausea. I have no raw throat either. While there was discomfort yesterday, I am glad to have some additional cleansing event. Prior to that, the fast has gone quite uneventful.

Because my weight is getting quite low, I am getting concerned about how to know WHEN to break my fast. The last fast I did over 20 years ago, I got down to 123 lbs.
I don’t expect that I can go much lower. I read in a book I have on fasting that is considered THE book. It states the when hunger returns the fast should be broken. This causes me to wonder what hunger feels like. If I can fast for weeks without feeling hunger, then maybe I don’t feel hunger at lunch time after a 4 hour gap from breakfast. Do any of us REALLY know what hunger is? I guess it remains to be seen.

I am certainly hopeful to feel the cancers diminish prior to hunger. But even if they don’t, I will move to fresh juices, then raw foods until I see significant changes. I am anxious to add some of my favorite cooked foods too in small proportions. I LOVE whole grain breads and cooked beans!
