Day 28

Four weeks into this fast. I'm only two days away from my original goal of thirty days.  Today I feel a bit tired. I have also noticed a change. I feel very relaxed, and I also feel very light. I'm still slightly over weight though, and have enough fat reserves to keep going. I have been shipping Ebay sales today, and I also did some guitar repair. I had to reassure a friend earlier but according to my doctors book. I am not harming myself at all, quite the opposite. There seems to be a slightly irrational fear of starvation in some people. Fasting is not starving, especially with the fruit juice, herb drinks and excess body fat. I would not carry on fasting if I had 5% body fat, that would be very ill advised. I'm still in two minds about ending at thirty days or carrying on for forty. Forty is the magic number. It takes 40 days to absolutely purge any unwanted substances from the body, forty days to be over any addiction. I believe the story of the forty day fast comes from this. I am also very curious to see the full effect of a forty day fast but on the other hand I miss food real bad and would be happy to have achieved my goal of thirty. Anyhow I don't want to jump the gun when I'm still only twenty eight days in.
