So me and my friends have been fasting since yesterday afternoon and I discovered something. As it got later into the night my cravings flared but this morning I'v been up since about five thirty and barely thought about food. I wonder why that is? I'm glad we don't have to do this very often I thought I would go mad yesterday evening. And the hunger pains weren't even there. It was all my mind telling me that I should eat something. But I kept telling myself. "Self your friends are standing beside you and you all have to do this. He said so at church." So I didn't. Does gum count if you don't eat it? Then again you can't digest gum so I don't think it should.

Fasting is does get you the worst in the evening. I believe it's because your body is winding down from the days activities. You've been so busy during the day that you didn't have much time to think about it. Or it was easier to find a way to take your mind off of food when you did think about it. I think gum, and mints count as food because of the sugar they have. Just try not to eat too much today to make up for what you didn't eat while fasting. That's always my problem.

That is very interesting. I tried to fast for a 24 hour famine program. It was very rough. I can appreciate what you are doing. How long do you plan on fasting? Take care of yourself!
P.S. I don't think gum counts. =]

Thanks! The fast was over at three and believe me that kitchen never looked better. But I restrained myself had a simple corndog and a piece of bread pudding which was smaller then the palm of my hand. I think I did pretty well.

Sounds like it! I'm curious to see if fasting will help your weight loss for the week because I have heard that that can sometimes send your body into starvation mode... I really hope it helps you out!
