I am going to call the journal "Daria"

Dara,

Long term Goals: Today is only monday, I have started a fast.. so far so good. One problem I have loads of energy and its really late at night. Almost midnight snack time, so I am wearing a rubber band and snapping it every time I think of something sweet.

Goals to get down to 7 stone am at 8 stone right now. ( get down to 98lb, from 112) My highest weight was at 11 stones!  I just recently lost 3 so that is good but right now I feel as if am at a "show down" all I can do is keep it at 112.  Oh by the way am 5'8 and 16 years old, almost 17. My birthday is on the Fourth of April.

Today for school: hmmm.. Well If I went I would of known. I felt really cold and I sat down just for a bit and ended up sleeping so hard I was practically numb all over. I am still cold, not shakie anymore am going to have some coffee (hate the taste!). I should do some revision but I get upset every time I even look at something to study. I am very artistic at times and during those times to be involved in anything else is like torture.. Really I'll start blubbering like a baby at my desk just because I opened my maths book...  Now with German (which is a course that I like a lot) I don't want to have nothing to do with it. I need a Holiday from my responsibilities.

Anything positive?: Well my website is coming along, and so is Sid's (I am helping her with her graphics). My cousin is going to join me in Switzerland for the summer. I am staying away from all foods . Its a good day despite all the negative lol. 

TIP* NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT WRITTEN BY A DOCTOR.  IT IS WRITTEN FOR ME, FOR MY OWN USE AND IT IS NOT NECESSARILY HEALTHY,  AND MAY NOT BE SAFE. 

My type of fast: What I do,  For the first two days only drink water and coffee NO FOOD AT ALL. If you have to break from this then eat something healthy like fruit or raw vegetables. I can't allow myself to break the rules even if I eat 1 grape I feel like "Well now u might as well eat everything!" not rational but I feel guilty and who needs that!

Day 3 Now this day  yes you can have something but its important to start your day off with exercising at least 45 min then shower drink water then have a fruit drink plus coffee. I prefer , it is better for your system. By right now you may be hungry but your stomached is shrinking that is the important part! For lunch I will have a cup of skin milk + another fruit drink (orange juice will do, its even better if you make it your self!).  For the rest of the day don't drink anymore coffee, if you feel weak have another apple drink ( not 4 or 5 .. another "1").  (Apple drink can be apple juice or some sort of healthy drink/juice drink)  Dinner, don't have dinner its better to skip this meal if you can, right now your in the process of shrinking your stomached. If I have to eat I always make sure to  it up. 

Day 4 Morning & Lunch same as Day 3, for the rest of the day take time to pamper yourself. Get your hair done, go by new clothing (smaller sizes to get you motivated) have your nails done, Get a good face mask bathe with scented candles bath beads ect.. Read some magazines, listen to your favorite songs make the day be all about you! ( Note for dinner nothing unless you need energy then I would just drink coffee but its a good idea to substitute tea now)

Day 5 Now you should be feeling good about your progress if not THEN  start patting your self on your back keep track of yourself. Today you can have a total of 3 fruit drinks +2 tea drinks+3 cups of coffee. Oh and never ever forget water! You should be drinking water almost every hour, if you can. Today you should have a good feel of how your schedule reacts to your fasting, so go ahead and arrange it differently if you need to. DO not let your self break the fast bad idea.

Day 6  A new supplement for fruit drink, I read this long time ago so I forgot who made this diet I just know what to do. Recipe 8oz of water half a , sea salt (has to to be SEA SALT) and maple syrup (unsweetened). You take the water+lemon(juice) and 2 TP of sea salt + 1 TP of maple syrup, mix it all up and drink it. This will help clean out your system (may have the runs..sorry ) but it really helps, make sure your still exercising. You can have as many as you like of these ( I doubt that will be to many since it tastes awful! So by this time if you had to eat you'll never eat if you tell yourself all food tastes like this lol.)

Oh quick thing: lemon=acid good for cleaning, water A MUST!, sea salt= also good for cleaning and maple syrup = has natural sugars to help your brain function correctly. (The way this works is ur suppose to do it for 40 days to detoxify ur system.) So I try to do 40 days (which would be day 47) But I have only gotten to day 30!  THIS TIME I'M going to day 40!

Oh after being in a fast for a while don't eat solid foods! That will really hurt you, instead try broth and yogurt,applesauce,soup. NO potatoes,bread starchy foods..
