Day 8

Although I initially said I didn't want to weigh myself everyday, it's just too motivating at this point.  I have lost a whopping 14 lbs! :D

I didn't have much planned today, so I decided to water fast again.  All went okay.  I did get some seriously intense hunger pangs.  I felt like they left me with gapping air holes that were just waiting for food.  It got to the point where it was very painful.  I thought about about juicing, but I know this is just a normal side effect of fasting.  So I just went to bed.

Somewhere in the middle of the night I have a memory of a dream.  I can't remember what was going on, but I was nauseous.  I remember feeling really sick.  All of a sudden, I woke up and felt like I was deadly ill.  I realized I was about to puke!  No time to think, I just ran to the bathroom.  I did have just enough time to think, "What can I possibly throw up?!".

I threw up some bile and water.  It was light yellow.  I also had diarrhea.  I didn't know what to think.  I was so tired I just went to bed right after I cleaned my teeth and had a little water.

I read about it first thing the next morning.  Apparently this is just part of the detoxification process.  I was happy to hear that!

All said and done, day 8 was an accomplished day o' fasting!
