My last day of not eating on Monday

As I mentioned, if I were going to be able to conduct my work properly, I figured I'd have to eat... so I decided to start eating again on tuesday!

On the Monday it had been 4 days without eating, and my mission was accomplished. I felt sick to my stomach in the morning and I thought How the **** am I going to be able to do this one more day?! I had decided not to go and stand on the scales, but I did anyway to see how much I had lost..Until then I had lost 3 kgs! From weighing 59 to now weighing 56...and on tuesday morning I had lost another kilo, as time passed by, more kilos I lost in a less amount of time! I thought at first it would have the opposite affect: Since I was starving the body would store everything it could get.. but nooo I lost more. I guess it could be muscles, since I haven't really done any excersise these days.

I was feeling weak, very weak! And sick in the morning. I wasn't feeling hunger anymore, just exhaustion.. I can't even walk up the stairs without feeling dizzy at the arrival upstairs!

I still go to the bathroom, but only to do number 1. That's because I'm drinking water. Oh, as I said, I started to dislike water, so I also started to drink fluids in other forms, like tea, boullion and also water with lemon. So I have been drinking water! Not enough maybe, because I still didn't drink 2L a day, but I drank more than I usually do.

So now I'm 55 kg (about 121lbs), I've lost 4 kgs in 4 days for not eating..imagine how much I would have lost if I would have to do any physical activity! Probably the double.

I'm now eating properly again.. I had some troubles with my stomach yesterday, it responded on whatever I ate. But now I'm ok!

In conclusion: I've been tierd, exhausted, hungry, passed hunger, resenting water, in a bad mood, sick to my stomach... but I recover quickly. I do, because I've been healthy my whole life. But not everybody is... Besides, I could stop this starving week whenever I wanted, I have food in the fridge, but 80% of the world's population can't... that's what I call Lame! And twisted, and sick, and unfair! I support a child in Chile, pay about 20 dollars a month which gives him proper education, a home in a village for orphan children and breakfast, lunch and dinner! If you are like me, a person with a monthly income, and feel that you have enough money to support another person that doesn't, you should... it will make you feel good. Do it!!
