Day 12: What hunger?
Last night, trying to fall asleep (which took way longer than it has this entire fast), I had the most intense hunger pangs ever! However, this morning I feel good, and although I'm still a little weak when I stand up quickly, I think overall I'm past that just-began-fasting phase. Sucks that I had to go through it twice on this fast!!

Today I decided to drink my juices in 3 big cups, rather than 6 smaller ones. I think that works. In between, I have a much better shot at getting water down, and herbal teas for detox.

I'm still jazzed about eating soon, though, which is a little sucky to do to my body. Brunch on Sunday might be a little tough, but I'll live. Then Monday I can start juices again, and maybe even on Tuesday have some fruit. Depends on my schedule, though, and when I get to go to the store. I might not have a good opportunity in the evenings. Anyway, I feel like I've come this far and there's everything to lose if I cave in, and just a little discomfort if I hang tight.

I'm thinking about cooked foods, though, but maybe it's because of my favorite cookies on the counter upstairs (thanks, honey) or the potroast in the slow-cooker. It's kind of cruel to have that smell wafting through the house, although usually it doesn't affect me. Guess it's not so cruel as it is bad timing.
