So, at the last moment (I was still debating with myself at sunset on Tuesday) I decided to go ahead and fast this year. Not too bad (not drinking water is always a hardship for me, but I was braced for it and coped by not moving very much and brushing my teeth when I just couldn't stand it anymore, which may be cheating, but whatever) until yesterday afternoon when all my hunger and thirst pretty much turned into rage and grumpiness. But I wasn't around anyone, so I guess that's okay.

My Net Diary is mad at me for skipping meals, which amuses me no end.

Do I feel spiritually renewed? Maybe. I think I would have regretted not fasting, mainly. Maybe next year I will find services to go to.

I've decided to make a fast a regular part of my lifestyle. Two months of dieting is about my limit, as far as enthusiasm goes. I can soldier on through another week or two, but then I really want to not do whatever I've been doing - counting calories, avoiding carbs, whatever. So, every three months I'm gonna reboot with the lemonade fast. It's supposed to be cleansing, and I drop 5-10 lbs in just a few days, which is a nice jump start to actual dieting.  It's not sustainable, by any means, but for three days, I'm unlikely to be doing myself any real damage, right?

The downside, is I give myself permission to be a little decadent in the week or two before the fast, which was nice for the holidays, but it's an impulse I should try to keep in check.

Anyway, today is day two of three, then a juice fast for 5 days, then salads, After that I'm probably going to jump into some sort of meal replacement system, do shakes for breakfast and lunch. I feel like not thinking about menus for a while.
