Day 17

Slept well. Up early. Did some yoga stretching. Me and the Ru are doing  a garage sale today. Good fun. It's a bit wet out so we are taking it easy sitting in the garage sale. I am really looking forward to eating again. I keep thinking of things I am going to eat later on, although this is not advisable, it's best to keep ones mind free of food altogether . The hardest thing is breaking the fast because as soon as you start eating the temptation is to eat and eat. It's best to eat small meals and quite frequently. This will trick the body into not storing fat. it's also best to avoid fatty foods for at least as long as the whole fast took. It takes a third the amount of time of the fast to break the fast. ie. If you fast for 3 weeks then you should take a week. This means only eating small amounts of easy to digest foods. Foods that make one salivate are the best as this activates the stomach juices better. Anyway enough talk of breaking the fast because I need to keep going with it. It's not that bad, the fruit juice and teas are keeping me going. I may do a couple of straight water days though just to give my stomach a rest. Because I've been having fruit juice breaking the fast will be safer and easier because my digestive juices have been kept in an operative state. I'm not looking forward to cooking tonight particularly. Although I do like to cook. I almost caved last night and started nibbling but then I thought no, just keep going push harder keep going.
She's torturing me with Maltesers now!
