Day 0// Sunday (07/26/2020):
The last meal I had today around 5 pm as I stood in line at Target (I could wait to get through the line first), was a pack of gummy bears. To be fair, I didn’t eat the entire bag of gummy bears, but that was my dinner. Half a pack of gummy bears. Terrible.
Anyhow, I will start tomorrow (the first day of my 14 days fast) on a better note. With no food at all. Ha!

Considering my obvious lack of discipline, I am somehow still optimistic that I can do this. Let’s see how I feel tomorrow, lol.
Day 1 // Monday (07/27/2020):
4PM: It’s 4 pm in the afternoon, and I’m hungry. What I’d do for a Deluxe Calzone from Hungry Howies Pizza and a side of BBQ chicken wings right now.
Damn I’m fucking hungry man. Shit!
11:51 PM: I’m seriously considering giving in for a couple frozen waffle and chocolate yogurt. I can always start over right?
I’m hungry. No hunger pains. Just a strong desire to consume food.
So, what had happened was…
To make a long story short, I ended up water fasting for 7 days before stopping. My boyfriend at the time (we broke up shortly after) encouraged me to stop because he thought it was “unhealthy”. Perhaps another post on how I allow the men I date to distract and derail me from my own plans and purpose would be a good topic for a future blog post — but I digress. 🙄 I also had all of the pictures and videos I had taken in a shared folder with him, which he deleted. Sorry about that girls.
I honestly think I could have continued with the water fast for the full 14 days. The first few days are the hardest. After you get past those, it’s not so bad of an experience.
I’ll link below to some related videos you may find helpful below.
I wish I could be more help. Good luck with your journey anyhow. 🙏🏾
What happened next, did you complete the 14 days? Did your fibroid shrink?
I ended up going for 7 days before stopping after my boyfriend at the time encouraged me to stop lol. I honestly could have continued for the full 14 days. The first few days are the hardest. After you get past those, it’s not so bad. I will be finishing this post soon. Until then check out youtube for experiences from other women who did this fasting.
Did you finish your post? I would love to read the rest of your experience!
Hey Michelle, I honestly didn’t follow all the way through this time. But kudos to you for doing your research. There are quite a lot of girls on Youtube sharing their experiences. Definitely check out Youtube for more insights on water fasting. All the best 🙏🏾
why not update your title – it says you fasted for 14 days, and you only went 7 days ( which is commendable) but you don’t give much info on the 7 days either!
