I succeeded through day one of remaining on the water only fast. I did actually have two cups of beef broth that are msg free. This is to keep my electrolytes in balance. I noticed that I had periods of hunger and then periods where I was distracted from the hunger. It feels amazing to make it through the first full day.
Last night I woke up often and each time there would be a person or persons on my mind and I prayed for them. I read Isaiah 61 at one point when I woke up. I was afraid of the nights because night time is typically my time to struggle with wanting to eat when i am dieting. I generally have a hard time falling asleep when I am dieting. This was not the case last night. But I woke up at 3 and did not fall asleep again till around 430. However, I do feel alert and strong at this point in time. Yea!
