Doing a clear liquid fast today. I may do it more often. I'm feeling a little light headed. But I'll be fine. Perhaps I'll do it every Saturday morning to Sunday morning. I work Friday nights. I felt bloated and gassy and had a lot of stomach-like and abdominal pains from foods I'd eaten recently. It has stopped. Next time I do it I'll get that cranberry pure stuff that one adds water to. I'm drinking water, tea, etc. I will have bouillon perhaps this time if my energy gets sapped to get used to doing this... Glenn :) Already feeling more energy - haven't eaten since early a.m. More alert too. This detox is helping. I think the light headededness is probably sinus-related from the allergy stuff going on. I'll do some writing this evening, listen to music and read the Bible too - I got a nice version (I forgot who gave it to me) with lots of notes in it. We're having a Thanksgiving Party catered in my building tomorrow at suppertime.It will be my Thanksgiving holiday meal. Thursday my good friend is bringing me a plate home from her brother's house so I will have a meal though I'll be alone. If I'm not getting invited anywhere now, then I certainly won't get invited anywhere next year if I get a young college-age girlfriend either by then! I'll be the scandal of the family. Hee Hee! LOL! P.S. My family doesn't even care to have me over on holidays and then they have the nerve to send me nasty emails about who I should date. These people are messed up. I'm better off not even being around them. You people are the best as you inspire me to be a better person and not let others' negativity bother me. I'll have a Happy Turkey Day. Next year I'll have a girlfriend to spend it with hopefully and my family can all jump in a frozen lake!

So sorry about your family problems. It's got to be hard especially during this time of the year. Hope you and your family can work things out in the future.

It's OK. I'm fine with it. A girlfriend and other friends will help me to go on with life in a good direction. :)

New Post: I've decided to fast weekly. I started a 24 hour fasting once a week group. I know there will be very few members. But I feel much better fasting today than in ages. It's a clear liquid fast... One could modify to a juice fast etc. :) Only with medical approval of course if one has diabetes, heart disease, etc.

When I was thinner (!!) and worked in a coop food store, I used to fast about once a month just to detox my body. I usually did it for about two days. I felt so good afterwards!! I hope you feel that way tomorrow!! Is it safe to do it every week? Glenn, you can come to my house for Thanksgiving!!! I know Iowa is a long ways away, but everyone always calls our house the orphanage because we have so many "orphans" for Thanksgiving and Christmas! It wouldn't be the same without extra people!! I wish you lived closer!

Thanks for the offer - you're so kind. It is weird when I was away from home I always had somewhere to go. So many friends - or offers from people I barely knew. This is a clue I have few too many people who care about me in my life. So at least I know what I need to do. It is safe to fast weekly. A few celebrities do it - Larry Hagman used to but he had a liver transplant and may have had to stop because of that. I already feel so much better into this detox. The most bizarre thing is it seems like time is standing still because my senses are more aware and I'm getting so much more done and I keep looking at the clock and it is like I have extra time today! I'm doing this every week! I have more energy too. I'm organizing my stuff in my place, I did writing and now I'm going to read. Remember centuries ago people fasted a lot in Biblical times as food was pretty scarce. No fructose syrup back then to get sick on or doughnuts - yuck! :) I used to like Boston creme and jelly, not anymore!
