You can read my detailed Fasting post here. It includes my reasons for fasting.

203 pounds this am.

Water only. That's the goal anyway..

One cheat at 4:00pm. A single bite of my daughter's bundt cake that she brought home from a place in Hendersonville, TN called Nothing Bundt Cakes. It was amazingly soft, moist and lemony.

I opened a container of homemade cookies before I remembered I'm fasting. Didn't eat one. Didn't even touch one.

I almost opened a bag of flamin' hot Cheetos. Still thinking about it. Salt is beckoning me.

Smells seem to have more pull on me than usual. I'm sure it's all in my head.

I want to stop thinking about food. I will just have to wait it out.

Another cheat at 7:00pm. I had a fork full of steamed zucchini with no butter, just a little salt. So, so good.

Last cheat of the day: 2230 Amy made me a cup of coffee with a tiny bit of half and half and no calorie sweetener.

I drank a lot of water. 7 water bottles. For me, that's a lot!! Why? Because I hate water. And I don't get thirsty very often at all.

I'm really craving salty foods.

I've had a small headache for all evening. A lack of sugar maybe? Could be caffeine withdrawal too. The cup of coffee came after the headache already started.

I have fleeting thoughts of quitting the fast. Or trying to justify just having one splurge. Like a bag of chips. But I can't do it!! I won't!!!

So far so good.
