While there were times when I was violently famished, I reminded myself to be in the present.
My feat for more started from a place of desperation. I was weary and feeling overweight, not by society's standards but by my own personal place of comfort. I felt depleted, nightcaps were too frequent and overhangs were unforgiving, unlike those rebounding days from my twenties. I was far from faith and God. Instead of opening my eyes to the morning sun, I blinked in misery at the sound of my alarm.
Towards the end of the fast, the scale reflected a different version of me, I'd lost 25 pounds. My body was lighter and I felt freer and more in control of my body. I could move and bend more easily, and I had more reign over my body without all those unnecessary pounds holding me down.My complexion turned brighter and I felt healthier. The dark circles under my eyes went away and I saw a glow in my eyes because of how good my body was feeling.
