Fast: Day 4

Today is the best I have felt so far. I think it takes a few days for your body to adjust to and accept not eating. There were very few hunger pangs, no abdominal cramping, and more sustained levels of energy throughout the day. I did get tired earlier than I normally would if I wasn’t fasting but I think that is to be expected. It feels good to know that I am over half way through now. On Saturday, one of my Peace Corps friends is finishing up her service so tomorrow there is a group of us going out to a nice Lebanese restaurant to do tapas. This will most likely be a difficult experience. Intuitively, when I am by myself and there is no food around, I do just fine. It’s always the most difficult when those around me are eating really good food. So we will see how I deal with that tomorrow.

I guess I don’t have as much to write about today because overall it is the day that has felt the most normal. Maybe I’ll have more to write about after dinner tomorrow.
