Day 6

I'm not dead! walking down K road wasn't as scary as I thought.

I am not very hungry which is good, but also bad because I forget sometimes to drink water and I need to be careful not to dehydrate myself.

I worked a shift at Hell Pizza tonight which was not as hard as I thought it would be -- it smelled great but I didn't feel hungry or even tempted. I think about food a lot, but it's surprisingly easy to just not eat it. That's a pretty good lesson I will take with me after the fast -- even though I love food, if I'm not hungry, it's easy just to not eat. ^.^

For fun, and because I do think about food a lot, I've been planning menus for when I can eat -- really happy about it, I think it will stress me out less. I'm organizing it so I'll make one thing, and then use it for three different meals, that sort of thing. And we'll have a better plan for our shopping so we'll hopefully spend less money, and we'll definitely eat out less I think since a lot of our eating out comes from us just not feeling like figuring out what to cook. :D yay!

warning: I'm about to talk about poop. When you're fasting you're supposed to do an enema or two... but I definitely don't want to do that. I did, however, take a laxative suppository and it wasn't great. It was nice to poop but man, I don't think anyone likes suppositories. I hope I don't have to do it again.

I feel really good most of the time. The only negative aspect I've encountered so far is that if I stand up too fast after sitting, I get tunnel vision and feel very faint. I haven't blacked out, but I just need to be careful.

time for bed! <3
