6 Day September Fast – Day1

Posted on by

I posted this morning that tomorrow I would start a six day fast.

Well, I got to 3pm after not having eaten anything all day, and I thought –
why not start today?

So today has officially been my first day of fasting, after not having eaten since 6:30pm yesterday, Tuesday 2nd Sept.

I’ll check my stats later, but to let you know how I feel: I’m starting to feel hungry. I know the first day of a fast is always the hardest. Second day is tough too. Once I get to day three I’ve pretty much lost my hunger pangs altogether.

So what do I mean by a fast?
It’s really simple.
For the six days I will only drink water, or tea.
No sugar, no milk,
I’ll take some vitamin pills – that’s all.

This evening I came downstairs to the kitchen and Jennifer was cooking up some fruit compote for dessert tonight.

It tested my resolve, let me tell you!

  2. Hi Bill. I think it might be difficult to smell food while you are fasting but of course you can’t stop Jennifer to cook ! I hope she is supporting you and I think she must be. You didn’t explain why you are fasting. You might explain it later. Will you take this time to relax more also? Anyway, I will follow you here. I am not fasting now but I am recovering from Covid !!! take care, Bill.

  3. I fasted during July, taking liquids but eating only a small portion of this or that meat every other day. Needed the elimination diet.

    So somewhat similar to my fasting in late 1993 and early 1994 in preparation for my second Camino from Paris.

    Good luck with it Bill !
