Just Finished My First Three Day Fast

Hi. I just finished a three-day fast. While I've been thinking about doing a fast for a while, I didn't plan on starting it when it started. It just happened - I worked during it, I took care of my errands during it, and I didn't tell anyone I was doing it while I was doing it. And no one noticed any difference in my energy levels. If anything, I had more energy, which I will get into in the next entry.

I just wanted to report that I did it, I feel really proud, I like how i feel, it was easier than I thought it would be, and I would like to continue it.

Temptation awaits, however. We are having a potluck at work today. And I am nervous. I think I can be OK with not eating - it's other people's reactions that I am worried about. I am not telling anyone that I am on a fast. I'm simply not eating. I'm finding people dont' pay attention to my eating habits as much as I think they do. It hasn't been a problem so far, but we're all going to be together for this potluck, and if I don't eat, it will be obvious. So, we'll see if I can get through it without partaking. I am bringing food. But I hope I don't eat it. I'll let you know how it went.
