Sarah - 10 daysHow long did you fast?10 days. When did you fast? April 4-13, 2004 What is your age, gender, weight before your fast, and height? 30, Female, 5'7", 152 lbs What was your weight after completing the fast? What is your weight now? 135 lbs / 135 lbs Why did you decide to fast? I heared Loren speak and thought what he had to say made a lot of sense, so I thought I'd give it a try. Just some general "spring cleaning" and to get a fresh start. What was your biggest apprehension going into the fast? Being bored. Did you ever consider ending the fast during the process? Why and why did you continue or stop? No, I was on a pretty strict time schedule and had to get back to work at a certain time. Did you accomplish what you set out to do with your fast? Yes - just to have the experience was my only goal. Would you recommend that people have their fasts supervised? Why or why not? Yes. There were points when I would have definitely given in and eaten were I at home. Also the support of talking to others, and being able to tap into the many resources here to get answers to my questions were invaluable. Knowledge is power! Why did you choose to fast at the Tanglewood Wellness Center? Because I'd met Loren a few months prior. What was your experience at the TWC like? It was a difficult process - mostly emotionally difficult - but I am glad I did it and feel it was worthwhile. I am very proud of myself for making it through. What did you experience during the fast? Exhuastion, hunger, stomach pains, headaches, dizziness, anger, frustration. How did you spend your time? Sleeping, tossing and turning in bed, reading, calling loved ones on the phone, crocheting, talking to other guests. Just purified water? Did you get hungry? Yes. Did you get weak? Yes. What was the best part of the process for you? The future outcomes that are to come. Keeps and kept me motivated. What was the most difficult part of the process for you? Eating again. Was it ever painful? Some stomach pain, hunger pains. What did you experience after the fast? Peace, calmness, steadiness, clearheadedness, new resolve and desire to do many things I've wanted to do for a long time. Did you experience any changes due to fasting? Just emotionally, what I just mentioned. And the slight weight loss. What kind of diet did you follow after your fast? Whole fresh organic fruits and leafy greens - I am going to try to do this as long as I can. When I need a treat, I will look forward to making some prepared raw foods. Was eating difficult afterwards? No. Would you fast again? Maybe. What piece of advice would you give to other fasters? Just try it - experiencing it is the only way to know what type of experience you will have.
