So I ended the fast on Monday and my opinion is that it was successful. The breakfast on Monday morning was probably one of the tastiest things I've eaten; scrambled eggs with tomato, onion, green pepper in it, hash browns, OATMEALZ and plain yogurt with raspberries. I had a huge stomach ache about an hour later and took some tums and it went away, then continued on with my day eating every 3 hours as I previously did. I've gained 10 lbs since (trying to bulk up.)
I have a new perspective on what I need and what I want when it comes to consumables of any kind. I stopped taking all drugs when I started and I craved pretty much everything for 3 days. The only way to not be depressed or sitting fawning over food was to KEEP BUSY and not stay in my room for more than 5 minutes unless going to bed. I assume this goes for many psychological addictions, where you can't get it off your mind and think 'if I just had that I could go on with my day normally'. On day 4, I had no cravings as noted and it continued to the end. One of the biggest benefits was for that week, I had a goal that predominated everything else. I was really driven to complete it and not lie about it or cheat, because cheating myself would be totally pointless and ruin it. I had a better sense of well-being and confidence and was driven to complete it. I guess if I had an actual long-term goal or dream in life that's what it would be like. FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU

The Vibrams are really awesome. I have huge callouses on my feet now, which is good, and my feetsies are getting bigger from the extra work involved. I recommend them to anyone who runs anywhere, especially outdoors. For some reason, one of my friends thinks Mario Kart 64 is the best, probably because the particular person is FUKEN RETURDED. Isn't Double Dash the best ever?
