FastDay User Blogs

Yesterday was my 6th fast day and it went great except for one tiny detail, I made the huge mistake to eat a "new carrot" (is that how you called them ?) in the beginning of the afternoon. Huge mistake because, in the hours after I was hungry as I never was, the 20 minutes timer, the water, the coffee didn't help and, as I hate broth, I waited and waited and waited, occupuying myself as much as I could and I am proud to say that I didn't cheat and, better yet, I felt full at 300 calories.

About the changes now.

My taste in food has changed. The taste of food has changed.To give you an exemple, I had a croissant for breakfast saturday and it was just wonderfull. The same for a simple chocolate square. All the flavours seem to explode in my mouth and a little has a lot more effect than if I ated the whole stuff. I thought that my cravings would be much stronger than they are. In fact, even if I crave chocolate, I feel great with only a little and I fully appreciate the taste of it. I mean, I think you all know what it is not to taste what to eat but to eat just for the heck of it. I don't feel this "need" now.

Another thing, as I said before, I am more confident, more focused and I don't need the appreciation of others. I lost weight, even at stranges places like my cheeks. Since I began, my skin is different. I don't know if some of you remember the 70s anime Candy Candy



When I was little I looked just like that, except that my hair was (and still is) red. I had freckles all over my skin, the body and the face but is I got older, the ones on my face began to "dissapear". Since these last few weeks, the came back, which means that my skin is much clearer and much healthier.

All that changes are because this new way of life and because the man who loves me as I am and opened my eyes, my heart and my mind to how life can be wonderfull. Even if he won't read this I want to say that I love him and to thank him for given me the strenght to be whoever I want to be.
