Answer
Just passed the four day mark of my fast, out of ?? days.
So far it’s been like the other three days, except with fewer hunger pangs, and my imagination has started flashing different images of food in my head even though I have no appetite.
Told my imagination “oh yea, we ate that, I think you can find some fat stored from it around here somewhere and eat that instead!” – for some reason my imagination got really quiet after that :D

Another successful day of fasting. Day 2 done out of 5. But I felt really sick about one hour ago. Really nauseous. That never happened. I have electrolytes and vitamins in me, it was really weird. Onto the next day. Also down another pound. This time feels like my body is struggling to lower weight.
