I'm so proud that today is my 10th day and it's time to start breaking the fast. For those who have never done a fast like this when you finish you MUST ease back into eating normal food. If you break the fast the wrong way then you will pay with severe stomach pains (not sounding good to me). I am so ready to eat though. This morning we had Homeschool Coop and so I got up this morning and made up a bunch of lemonade for me and then for David to take with him. Today of all days we had International Food Day for lunch at Coop :( OH WELL, nothing I could do but smell the good food. I did get to have some 100% orange juice this afternoon though and tomorrow we'll drink orange juice for breakfast and lunch then some homemade Vegetable soup for dinner.
I have experienced a few negative side effects today and I'm really hungry so I'm glad that we're at the end. Tonight I was emotionally spent and not feeling well...I really just wanted a half a piece of toast but my hubby came to my rescue, making me a lemonade and telling me to stay strong just a few more hours and we're done. It's seems that it's always the hardest to remain disciplined when you're not feeling well and tired. Makes me thankful for the amazing husband I have.
The best advice I can give to anyone who is considering this fast is to do your research, make sure it's right for you, and beware that everyone's body reacts differently. If you have any questions feel free to ask ;)
