Fasting: Diaries of a madman...

Today is the first day of my fast.
I last ate lastnight at i dont know...i think in the afternoon,
I didnt have dinner to prepare for the fast, It will be Seven days,
No Food, But the very few exceptions i will make: Soda-Your thinking how childish and immature SODA!
HAHA! you fool, it will not only supress sharp hunger pains, but give my body precous gluecose,
witch will be on the downfall towards the end of this fast, if i dont drink any, since soda is rich in caffiene and Syrup,
(Sugars), Apples- Ocassionaly if i need to eat, apples only 3 or 4 at a time.

But i will try not to eat apples at all if possible,
Besides its a fast not a apple fast.
And smoking.
Witch isnt eating but Fasting Purist would say smoking isnt allowed since its a hunger suprssant.

Ill be updating on this thread day by day hour by hour updates if possible.

thanks.

Tuesday 05 November 22,

Im hungry as hell, Ive informed my mother and shes fine with it.
But insists to eat alot of apples witch i wont be doing.
And Water.

Im a little light headed witch is expected.

I need an informing on this fasting thing,what is it?

Or need a learning on it,you know what I mean.

Its regimented Starvation.
Its Associated with Religous beleives.
And is commonly done amoungst Middle Eastern People Today.
(Or freaks who want to lose weight)
Its roots trace back very far (not sure what time exactly),
And is widely accepted, (escpecially if you of middle eastern descent).

Here is some information pasted from a website,

Nutritional Program for Fasting (Elson M. Haas, M.D.)
Fasting for Health and as an Anti-Aging Strategy
(Leon Chaitow, N.D., D.O.)
Diet, Fasting and Reduction of Disease
(Leon Chaitow, N.D., D.O.)
Fasting, Mono-diets and Raw Food Days (and Chelation Therapy)
(Leon Chaitow, N.D., D.O.)
The Therapeutic Fast (Evarts Loomis, M.D.)
Fasting (Emily Kane, N.D.)
Theres some Non active links to show you some things you can learn about....

And here are some facts Tia,

Fasting is the voluntary abstinence from solid food over any period of time out of the ordinary. The practice of fasting has its origins in religion dating to the beginning of recorded history. The purpose of the religious fast is purification of the soul and preparation to receive atonement of sins. Fasting is practiced to this day amongst Roman Catholics, Orthodox Catholics, Jews and several Protestant sects, notably Episcopalians and Lutherans, as well as Muslims, Tibetan Buddhists and American Indians. Fasting even has a political history, highlighted by the use of the fast unto death's door by Mohandas Gandhi to pressure and/or inspire his followers to observe his principles of nonviolence during India's struggle for freedom from their English overlords.

The early Christian church saw fasting as associated with penitence and purification, a voluntary method to prepare to receive Holy Communion and baptism. Indeed, Christ is said to have fasted voluntarily alone in the desert east of Jerusalem for a full forty days and forty nights, at the end of which he encountered the temptations of Satan.

Fasting traditionally has been associated with a period of quiescence during which most physical activities are suspended, perhaps denoting a symbolic association with the state awaiting birth. In very ancient times, fasts were traditional at the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, and were believed to increase fertility of both the land (through God's grace) and of the human body for reproduction. Fasts were used by American Indians to avert disasters (earthquake, flood, drought, war, etc.) and as penance for sin.

Unless we take a smug, modern, pseudo-scientific point of view that the ancients were simply too stupid to know better than to fast, we are forced to ask ourselves what is in fasting which is so good as to deserve all this attention. Modern medicine does take this smug, modern, pseudo-scientific point of view and has bastardized the fast into its cousin, the diet, a technique for losing weight. Losing weight and keeping it off is one of the few things which the ancients never claimed for the fast and, as many people who have dieted to lose weight can tell you, dieting does not work to take weight off and keep it off. There is more to weight loss than calorie counting.

The religious association with fasting makes it difficult for us to access the value of fasting, living as we do in a generally anti-religious, anti-spiritual society devoted to the promise of science ultimately to deliver understanding of all things.

Finally, what stands between you and contacting the value of fasting is fear of hunger. This fear of hunger comes from the addiction for quantity of food in our culture. Even if you are eating a pure, healthy diet, you still can be addicted to quantity of food. The thought of decreased quantity of food ? not to mention no food ? over an extended period of time, is enough to strike terror into the hearts of many people. To the person addicted to quantity of food, an invitation to fast

and am going outside to have a smoke right now.......
My stomach is sucked in,.......my neck looks a little thinner,
my cheeks look like theyll lose all my baby fat.....

and i overall feel just like.......bored....
not really weak as mutch as just bored....
food makes me super energetic and ,
talkative........now im soft spoken and only talk when absoloutley necessary,
and i find it hard to think of eating...
I read you can train your mind that somthing is as good as eating for me its,
Music ,Soda and Dxp.....
and some short walks..........
Oh and im looking for a job but there all full and arent hiring....
DAMN THIS OVERVCROWDED BEACH CITY!

Yea im hungry.....but not really....
It comes and goes but overall its nothing crazy at all just boring.....

and i have a headache,......but i feel peacful and comfy.........being hungry......
when i eat i feel bloated and tired..........and kinda goober faced......

like "aaahhhhhhh sooo sooo good"

not eating is the oposite,.
my eyes are open and im starrring deeply and angrily at anything anyone....
and clenching my teeth alot........
and twiching my foot really fast.......

but im not wirey.....
thats the worst when you dont eat and your wirey....
like a tweaker or somthing.......

Im glad this is alot easier than i thought......
i thought......this is scary......NOI EATING ARE YOU MAD!!!!!!!!1
its this society............FOOD IS GOOD! EAT FOOD!
"Ever told somones house you were staying at,
"no im not hungry thanks......when they asked you if you wanted to join them for dinner,
and they do a double take and say "What not hungry are crazy cmon come and eat some of this food,
theres plenty cmon cmon,............or if somone dares say "maybe hes dieting" somone else says Nonsense!
Come and eat come and eat.......
Its crazy this society is very mutch based around the maerican dinner.......
Oh the american dinner in all its glory.........Huge Steaks Mountains of potatoes,
And somthing else equally as large.....
And toi think heres this guy drinking a couple sodas water and cigarettes a day and he feels just great.......

Its crazy how mutch were pressure to eat.......

witch is why im more alert.....only do things when necessary and i feel alot smarter and wuick to answer.......with intelligent things to say...........
Im doing a science/Bio expierment with my own body.....
im excited......

i feel really horny too.
lol

Thats how I think of most people here,I've been told I eat like a bird by alot of americans but im also not the one whining about peoples insensitivity about weight too is how I see it.I can actually say one meal a day is enough to last for the entire day or a few small snacks throughout it is fine too.I do smoke though and alot of people use food as a nerve reducer is what i've noticed so I think it's very hippocritical for fat,non smokers to bother me with the smokings bad for you stuff and doubt that it is nerve related because they do the same thing only it's through something different.

Pretty much thinks there IS a time and a place for the sensitivity stuff when it comes to pregnant and medical dieseases or cripplings people for that stuff but not for someone who's lazy and eats too much crap food.Im more likely to spend alot of cash on good,fresh foods over canned,ready made foods though,I likeys to cook most of my food for control over whats going into my system and fast foods are just bl_ah in the taste comparision to homemade food for me.

I share the exact same Mentallity, In that i would rather not eat than eat some junk, i hate to sound like those radicals,
Who tell you about Mcdonalds is bad....Im not one to make a fuss in real life...it never has or Ever will be on my agenda to complain about this or that, But a while back after seeing the film "Super-Size Me" And than had some fast food....alot of it,
Just to see, I think i got a large hambuger, large fries and a very large strwberry soda, because i like lquids alot but anyway,
I was by meself in a motel room, and just watching tv in silence really let me feel the effects,......I felt so good it was like drugs eating up the fries by the handfull taking huge bites of the burger and washing it down with soda.....And about lets say a half hour later i felt like shit lying on the bed watching discovery channel, i just realised what obese people go through, i should be lucky im thin and can stop eating that cra*, So ever since than and pretty mutch by preferance i love cooking my own food,
Im good at it, and i as you said can watch what i put into it....And for me anyway it costs cheaper than canned/fast food.

The absoloute worst thing i eat, is soda.
The rest is very healthy stuff like stir fry's with tons of vegtables,
lean sandwiches with lots of vegatables,
or soups.
Thats my ONLY vice.
I will not stop drinking this cra*.
lol
Im so dam addicted....

and i actually lost my acohal craving....
i used to crave getting drunk when i was 14 15 and 16,
and now being almost 19 witch is when most Airheaded college kids start drinking the most,
i drink in high moderation, and favor small amounts of hard liqour or red wone or cabernet sivoignnasdna,snd,an,dsa
i cant spell the last part, but i love wine, not chapagne though i feel like im staying at some retarded hotel in a hottub with diamond necklaces and a hairy chest and michael bolton on in the backround.....getting a foot massage .....
its trashy to me yet alot of people let it symbolise wealth and succes.

But thats me im not very materialistic,
Actually i am but about intersting collectables,
like wierd art, small metal sculptures,
vintage lamps, or just decorating a room really Bright but soft lighting,
Overhead lights are stupid.....a light coming from a corner filling the room is best.
and with nice old things around, like old chair and desk,....a passed down oriental rug,
stuff with a soul.
a metal structure holding a some wierd shrub thingy,........and a those wierd dressers made out of oiled wood.
and a big soft dark bed.

i like art with lots of dark oils, and a wierd smeared crooked face on a deformed man .....
with wierd dead trees in the backround.....stuff like that.

New entry:
Its 12:00

i feel great, lotsa enrgy,
I cheated lastnite i had 1 cup of chicken flavored water basically, i put chicken flavoring packet in warm water stirred it and drank it, because it was keeping me from sleep the empty stomach.

Now everythings just dandy.
Ill have some ice water and go have a cigarette.

maybe ill excersize today witch is either a terrible or good idea,

On one hand: Ill burn almost half the body fat of my already thin frame,
giving dramatic results of the fast....witch would be fun just to try.
Just to be really lean for once.

On the other: My body will recognise this a starvation,
and immediatly start storing fat for last reserve of energy,
as a last ditch effort before death, Witch basically mean in simpler terms,
Ill be finalising the fast. the third day. Is when my body will start storing everything
and this can be bad if i start eating again is when most people Balloon up to heavier than they ever wieghed before,
so when i start eating again i have to gradually slope up starting with no carbs, and mostly fruit.

So excersing is risky for the weight gain when i start eating again,
but if i just say no to carbs it wont happen, so i think im going to excersize today.

anyone wanna chat?

lmao

Haha,
im glad your laughing at my expsense.



Anyway:
This is day four and i ate some noodles lastnight and im angry i had to resort to sutch disregard for what i planned on doing.
I hate my course being altered from what i intended, and thats exactly what i did.
Alcohal makes me more hungry so i wont drink anymore for awhile.
And thats concludes my diary.
Forcast is slightly hungry and cloudy for the next two days.
err.
fasting is slow going.

Tiamat where are you i need my ol faithful buddy to talk to....
