    I bet if you're willing to cleanse your spririt enough to do it you'll make it! It's easier with friends though, especially ones you can't persuade.

    I did a one day fast and it was pretty torturous, I craved all kinds of weird food, weirdest of all was barbeque xD But the next morning I wasn't really hungry like I'd been.

    If you don't follow a doctor's specific instructions fasting can be dangerous. Crash dieting is one of the worsts things you can do.

    Eating all at once late in the evening for a month is horrible for your metabolism and general health.

    Don't worry, people, I'm taking the correct procedures, I can last by just eating breakfast and Dinner at night, plus it saves money, which keeps me even more devoted.

    The point is: I want to experience something adventurous, even it being a 30-day fast, cause I want to be proud that I achieved something that I thought, and others perceived as ludicrous and impossible, especially with it being me.

    My mother thinks it's a crazy idea, and people don't think I will succeed, but I'm hoping I pull through, thanks for the support!

    I give up my favorite food - chocolate - for Lent every year. And used to fast on Sundays - just water - for a year or two. It is more a test of self control and inner discipline.

    Go for it, you will be glad you tested your limits

    Good luck!

    I'm fasting for the first time in about 5 years, I think. Yesterday was hard, especially since school hasn't started for me yet (nothing to keep me really distracted), but today's been considerably easier. Except for the swearing part

    Try not to do what I did yesterday when ending the fast and drink 3 glasses of water immediately one after another

    Fasting doesn't seem too difficult until midday, that's when the stomach begins to rage with hunger pains, especially when I was in the canteen today and saw so many glorious, delicious, foods. The smell of chips was whiffing through the air, and the pasta was covered with a thick layer of diced up cheese...ummm...i wish i ate...
