Re: patching up reality with a god mythology
Hey, yo, please update us on how your fast is going and how you feel.

If you say the word "gullible" slowly, it sounds like oranges. Go ahead and try it.

Re: Interesting Contrast
I pretty much have given up on trying to explain to people here in the US the benefits of a system like the one in Canada. We have too many right wing assholes in our country.
What really irritates the hell out of me is the right wingers who are poor and are on food stamps and such. I know a few of them. They always rant on and on about how rich people are being squeezed and that we need to protect the rich from socialism. I absolutely don't understand why they think the rich need help?
I have a brother that is well off. He owns dozens of properties. One of those has it's own private dock and a boat. He's got 7 harleys for whatever reason. Mid-life crisis I guess. He did well before the recession, even better during the recession, and even better than that nowadays. Someone like him doesn't need any help. He will do well no matter what happens to the economy.
And yet, these financially poor conservatives are always crying to protect rich people like my brother. I don't understand it. Do they hope to become rich themselves one day? They call a billionaire like Trump "man of the people". What the hell is wrong with them?
Anyway, that's my rant for today.
Oh yeah, just in case someone accuses me of being a "Leech" to have such an attitude, my husband and I are doing well for ourselves. We both have professional jobs and we also own a company. I'm not saying this out of jealousy/envy at the rich. I really do believe the country will do well if we take care of our most vulnerable.

Re: 5 Day Fast Begins Today
Having done several fasts for health reasons, I can say that (at least for me) emotional hunger is a million times more potent than physical hunger.
See, dealing with physical hunger is easy. Just drink lots and lots of water. But the emotional hunger is there regardless of what you do.
Have fun

Re: Day 1 Again
I told you. Hunger pangs aren't that bad. Just drink plenty of water and it will go away. It's the emotional hunger that will get you to fail.
Perhaps this will help. You don't need to go on an extended fast right away. Try these 2 things to ease your body into an extended fast to minimize your emotional hunger.
(1) Work your way toward OMAD (one meal a day). You can start by not eating breakfast and wait till lunch. Once you're ok with that, skip lunch and don't eat until dinner. You can either aim for OMAD or intermittent fasting. Then eventually, you can skip a day. Then 2 days. Etc.
(2) Work your way out of picky eating. Don't deny this. Just don't. Every picky eater I have ever encountered deny they are picky. What do I mean by picky eater? From my perspective, if you can't eat just plain oatmeal with absolutely nothing else added to it, you are a picky eater. If you can't eat just plain brown/white rice with absolutely nothing else added to it, you're a picky eater.
I have found that most westerners for some reason are picky eaters. They absolutely have to add a ton of salt, oil, sugar, etc. to their food before they can eat it.
Your picky eating habits contribute a quite a bit to your emotional hunger. What is emotional hunger? It is you missing all that taste and texture in your mouth, on your tongue, etc. Emotional hunger is what causes people to keep eating even though they are full.
If you can do those 2 things, your chances of success in regard to extended water fasting will be a lot more than now.
