Water Fasting - Day 4

The hunger.....when will it end? I have never experienced such intense hunger pangs in my life. I thought they would be gone by now. I am worried that taking my anxiety meds, even infrequently and as small as the tablets are, might be keeping my digestive system active. Going to try to not take them at all.

I actually got a decent amount of sleep last night! However this morning I was dizzy and my legs felt weak. My heartbeat was noticeably faster when I got up to fill my water bottle. I think tomorrow I will switch to distilled water.

As today progressed I have found more energy. I did some slightly strenuous chores for a short amount of time and it didn't seem to kill me. Mostly, though, I've just been taking it easy.

Oh! A couple good things I've noticed are that I have not coughed or had to blow my nose once since I started fasting! Usually I cough and blow my nose several times a day. No doubt this is an effect of the quitting smoking too. Hooray!

I've just got to try to deal with my anxiety as best as possible without taking drugs. This is shaping up to be one of the hardest things I've ever done - and I'm only 4 days in! Sheesh! Going to try some yoga and meditation. I've also heard some good things about Pranayama breathing exercises. I'm open to anything at this point.

Love and m'f'n light, y'all!
