Will I survive?

Ever since Honey and I watched an episode of Modern Family about how Mitch and Cam went on a juice fast we have been joking about going through with it. I know Honey would never quit food like that, not even for one day. But I am secretly curious about it.

I read about all these products in your body that are stuck inside you from all the junk food, processed foods and candy that I’ve eaten over the years. It said that these residues may be a reason why my asthma is not approving. And since my asthma even gotten worse just over the last weeks (so bad that I am on a break from training to finish a half marathon), I decided to give fasting a try. According to the Internet, fasting is an efficient way to get rid of toxins in your body. I know that I have tons of unhealthy stuff inside my body; I haven’t really been eating as well as I should.

This weekend Honey is in Malaysia as a field trip with the school that he works at, so now is a good time for me to actually go through with it. I’m also set to work all weekend with editing the Swedish magazine Bulletinen anyway, so I don’t have to take breaks to eat… I will probably regret this decision, be pissed and almost die (mentally) before the weekend is over.

As I read some articles about fasting, it will take about three days before I feel okay with this change. That’s a looong ass time. But that’s the norm, three days, and then you get used to it. I don’t know what to expect, except pain…

As an ex-smoker I noticed that deciding to lose weight is just like giving up smoking, you just have to have your mind set for it, or you will fail again, and again and again. That is what I am going through with my weight loss. I want to be slimmer, but my mind is not in it. So I start over, and over, and over again. That gets tiring too. This time, I WILL finish the fast, 4 days, that’s all. I want to succeed. It’s just four tiny days. My body and hopefully my asthma will thank me. I’ll let you know how I feel along the way…
