Day 127 - Breaking the fast

Since August 27th, in the last 126 day I have not consumed solid foods. Today, on the first day of the new year I had my first bite of prune (soaked in water overnight). That will be the only solid food for today, I"ll still have 2 litres of green juice and some fruit juice and the aforementioned 8 oz. of  prunes.

What a journey. I fasted trhu a short (7 wks) marathon training, my 41st birthday, the NYC Marathon (where I ran 31 min. faster than last year and achieved my goal of breaking 5 hours), Thanksgiving, Christmans and New Years Eve.
There were times when it wasn't so easy, I had to battle with very strong cravings (I was craving pizza for many days, salivating...now I don't have any desire left for it), went thru emotional lows and fear of gaining weight after I break my fast (it occured about half way done), but generally I have to say it was amazing, and it worth every second of it. I'm not afraid of food anymore. I'm not afraid that I won't be able to keep my new, healthy weight. I am confident that I'll be healthy and slender for life! :)
