Tomorrow I begin fasting... for 72 hours.

I am doing this for no other reason than to test my endurance on the off chance I am caught in the middle of an apocalyptic scenario and have trouble finding food.

If Islamic goat killers can do this, so can I.

I will survive on nothing but water from tomorrow morning 9AM until Thursday morning 9AM.


What is the longest you have gone without food? How long can a person go before they start dying?

 

I've went 52 hours with no food or water... but I did have an IV so I wasn't dehydrated. Another time, 48... drank nothing but Gatorade and water. I used to not be able to not eat, now I can go a long time. Once you get used to the feeling of an empty stomach, it's not that big of a deal. I have to give my guts a rest sometimes, since they are diseased.

You can go quite a while w/o food (weeks, but I wouldn't suggest it). It's water that you need. Remember that woman (Schiavo) they took off the feeding tube a few years back? She ended up dying of dehydration and that took a week or more, I think.

 

I did a week once. Water and vitamins only.

 

From what I've read and heard from people online, 3 days is a piece of piss and virtually any kind of asshole can do it. Well fuck you, I have barely gone a day in my life without eating so to me this is going to be a challenge. I'm not going to sit in a box for 10 days and not eat a thing, sure, but this is still a mammoth challenge that I am undertaking.

 

I think we should all help Smokey out with this.

Some inspirational videos to help you along?

Tip: Don't watch all of them in a row... Stagger them into your fasting schedule. When you feel a moment of weakness, consult the next video...

Remember... We're all here to help.

 

Anyone who says it's easy is a fucking liar. The first day sucks.

 

I decided to join Smokey in his 72 hour fast. However, at 11AM this morning I realized why diabetics don't fast. It's amazing how fast one's blood sugar level drops when you don't eat. Looks like I'll have to cheat with mine. Maybe suck on hard candy throughout the day.

 

hehe I knew a drag queen performer years ago that went by the name "Hard Candy" ... I had no idea he moved up to your area...


oh and if you need help fasting... just go to a trailer park and pick some meth... get enough and you will not eat, sleep, blink for 72 hours.

 

I'm gonna fast for 73 hours just to show you pussy ass 72 hourers up. IN YOUR FACE!

 

You need to fast from cock.

I dont care how lucrative the money is.

 

What if you could only have one food for a week? What would it be? I think for me this week, it would be fake bacon.

 

Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal. Not that I eat it all the time, but it could sustain life for quite some time.

 

I'd have to go with apple and cinnamon... if I had to gag oatmeal down.

 

:biggrin:

Man when I am really hungry I like pepperoni pizza, steak with a loaded baked potato, fried bologna sandwich, home made chili, home made spaghetti.

Try not to think of these things.

Glad to help.

 

those clementine orange things... but I would want some type of protective coating on my butt hole...I get a box now and then and eat the hole thing... then my poor butt hole pays the price, when I run to the potty 20 x a day to piss acid out my ass... no fun. Then I say "I am never buying those again"

 

Honestly, I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one on this forum considerate enough to offer my support to someone whom has undertaken a rather daunting task.

I can't thank you enough for being the only voice to join me in my cause.

As you no doubt know, support from one's peers is often times not enough when undertaking an objective as stern as such. Glad to know that there's at least one other forum member on-page with the objective.

 

SILENCE!

 

I am not feeling good today. I had about 7 hours sleep but felt like I only had 1, it was hard pealing myself off my dirty, sweaty bed sheets this morning.

It took me about 10 minutes to put a sock on this mkorning. Standoing on one foot was basically impossible. I think my balance has been effected quite a bit here. I feel like crap actually, it feels similiar to a hangover.

I have not felt hungry for a while thougth, but I can still feel the hunger lingering in the background. I need sugar. I feel bad.

 

Well, since I have had such bad stomach pains, I have been fasting too. I haven't eaten since Monday afternoon.

Right now, my hands are cold and clammy, I feel shaky and I am nauseated. I woke up every hour... just wasn't tired. Found a good article on fasting.

And yeah, I am not hungry at all.

 

I said fuck it and ate pureed carrots and mashed potatoes to see if they cause any problems and had half and Ensure.

That Ensure would help you out. I drank one this morning and I no longer felt weird and weak and out of sorts. I love that stuff but I think the sugar gives me gas.

I also doubled my ativan so my mood is much better and not mean and horrible. That has helped loads.
