So I have been fasting for 7 days now. I'm amazed that I am not totally losing my mind while doing this BUT I am a bit grumpy. I have started to get a bit tired and weak but I'm going to make at least 10 days.

I thought it might be inportant that I write about a few things that I have learned while I continue my fast.

First of all, I have learned that I don't have to eat to make it through the day. It is about decisions. Just because it is noon doesn't mean I have to stop everything and go to lunch. I don't have to have a huge meal at any time and I don't have to eat fast food just because it is convenient. It is my decision to put food in my mouth!!!

Second, I had such a huge AH HA!! moment when I was at home with the kids on Friday and I knew that Don would not be home until past 8pm and I was not going to have any help with the kids Friday or Saturday, I was fasting, having a pitty party... I wanted to eat... I wanted to eat... I wanted to eat... AH HA!!! When I don't feel competent in what I am doing... I WANT TO EAT!!! Now I always sort of knew this but it was really evident to me when I couldn't go to the fridge take something out and just eat. Now what am I going to do when I actually can eat? What kind of decision am I going to make. Interesting how it is a vicious circle... Decisions... feeling as though I'm not good enough... eat or not to eat... decisions....
