Seven Day Water Fast (Day 1)

Well, I'm finally doing it.  I've been wanting to do a fast for a few months now and today was my first day.  It wasn't so hard in the morning because I don't usually eat so much in the morning.  For the past month or so I've been only drinking juice for breakfast (from my juicer), having a smoothie for lunch, and a salad for dinner.

The afternoon was the hardest part of today because that is usually when I'm hungriest.  I wanted to eat so bad, but I restrained myself.  It's almost midnight now and I'm not very hungry at all because I don't usually eat after 6 or 7 pm.  Hopefully this gets easier.

Why am I fasting you ask?  My main purpose for this fast is to pray for direction in my business.  Do I continue with my current business or search for an office job?  I'm also doing it for health purposes.  Fasting is very beneficial for your health and let's your body rest.  Our bodies spend so much time digesting food that it doesn't have much energy left to heal itself.  I'm also hoping I will lose a few pounds.. I think that's inevitable with fasting so that will be nice.
