This is day two of my lemonade fast. What I plan to do is take only water, lemons, cayenne pepper and grade b maple syrup for 10 days. I will also be drinking detox tea and an herbal laxative. Very strange but I feel like I need to. The last time I did this fasting business was a juice and raw food fast. I found that it was really difficult to sleep but I was able to concentrate better. I had a feeling of euphoria. I felt really good. I was with Maisha at the time. She was not so very supportive. In fact she was always saying how loopy I sounded. I find that when I do things like this it gives me clarity. I feel like I take more time to examine things around me. I also spend quite a bit of money on food. I have also really seen how much I socialize around food. I am curious to see whether I can hold out. I am hungry. It is weird though. I guess it feeds my need to control myself not to eat right now. I also feel like the things that I have been doing to my body are really detrimental to my health. I have been smoking cigarettes, drinking, not keeping regular hours and not working out. I will change that. After the fast I will do raw food only until I leave for paris. I am going to use my awake time to edit the documentary. I will also use the time to write and study.
