Of all days to start a water fast I chose Thanksgiving Day! In previous years I've always been very troubled by all the eating I did between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. This year it occurred to me that I would probably feel better on January 1 if I fasted over the holidays!

Actually, I've never water fasted before. I hear that the hard part is not the fast, it's the re-feeding. I've also read lots of good things about fasting, going all the way back to Mahatma Ghandi.

My hope for this exercise is to very simply put an end to one way of eating, and start a completely new one. I hope to also purify myself somewhat, achieve some liberation from certain cravings, lose some weight, and start fresh on a new and different lifestyle in January.

I've made no preparations for this fast whatsoever. I ate lots of junk food yesterday, and wasn't even hungry until about 6 p.m. I'm drinking hot herbal tea and filtered water right now because I'm beginning to get a growling sensation in my stomach.
