Jennifer - 7 daysHow long did you fast?7 days When did you fast? January 10-17, 2004 What is your age, gender, weight before your fast, and height? 31, Female, 5'3", 112 lbs What was your weight after completing the fast? What is your weight now? 104 lbs/102 lbs Why did you decide to fast? I wanted to resolve my depression. What was your biggest apprehension going into the fast? I was worried about being bored. Did you ever consider ending the fast during the process? Why and why did you continue or stop? I did not. My goal was a week, and I achieved that goal. Did you accomplish what you set out to do with your fast? Yes. Would you recommend that people have their fasts supervised? Why or why not? As there are many symptoms one may experience while fasting, I feel it is important to have a fast supervised by someone who is experienced with this process. Why did you choose to fast at the Tanglewood Wellness Center? I have known Loren for many years. What was your experience at the TWC like? I enjoyed the blissful atmosphere at Tanglewood; its location in the mountains helped put me at ease and enjoy the process. What did you experience during the fast? I experienced nausea on days 3 and 4. Day 5 I felt much better, and days 6 and 7 I became weak, but I experienced a sense of great peace. How did you spend your time? I would rest in my bed or in the library. I would have dialogues with other guests and read books as well. Just purified water? Did you get hungry? I was hungry on days 1 and 2, but the hunger subsided after that. Did you get weak? Yes, particularly days 6 and 7. What was the best part of the process for you? I feel being able to work through emotional issues in my life and knowing my body was healing was the best part for me. What was the most difficult part of the process for you? I feel having to face emotional issues that I had been suppressing was very difficult at times. Through the fasting process, though, I learned to experience them, recognize them, then let them go. Was it ever painful? Yes, sometimes at night I would ache and have some trouble sleeping, but that seemed to get better further on into the fast. What did you experience after the fast? I feel a sense of peace and balance that I feel I did not have before. Did you experience any changes due to fasting? I lost some weight, my emotional state is much better, and I feel I have a healthier glow about me. What kind of diet did you follow after your fast? I am following a raw food/fruit diet. Was eating difficult afterwards? I must say, I find that little amounts of fruit satisfy me very quickly. I am full with less food than before I fasted. Would you fast again? Yes, I would. What piece of advice would you give to other fasters? Fasting has been a tremendous experience for me, and it certainly has been beneficial to many others. Believe you can, and you will achieve your goal. Return to fasting testimonials page. |
