Fasting from Music

[Ktoyou]

Thank you. I will leave a report about a week after the 21st.

I have done many kinds of fast. Mostly just refraining from all food though. It's so difficult to stick with it. I feel like a failure for only doing 9 days. I have gotten weak from retrying so many times that I am taking a break from it. My most recent attempt was just a few days ago. Before that it was about 3-4 days when I ended that fast.

It bothers me so much I am so bad at this. I keep trying over and over and over and over for a long time now.

Are you trying to lose weight?

Only 9 days?

:jawdrop:

I never go more than 24 hours without eating.

It is good to fast from TOL as well. Saint john w the great took 4 months off recently and came back with a head full of steam.

I took a two year fast from defending MAD.

It's been a while.
I long for the good ole days of 2008-09.

Sir like anything the more you do it the less difficult it becomes. You can become accustomed to fasting if you do more fasts. Do this, eat once a day at the same time every day for one week. You will probably get headaches if your body is somewhat toxic. For me I don't get headaches even after 5 days because I simply have no withdrawals from anything. Actually I have learned what real hunger is. You can't possibly feel hunger after only one day. It's something you can't quite identify until you've done it a few times. You definitely become more aware of when you are hungry and when you are not

Interesting.

I can fast 24 hours without headaches or lethargy. I don't desire to go any longer than that.

 

[SaulToPaul 2]

Haha yes, well you may not eat terrible if that's the case. Some people will have such intense headaches they have to stay in bed. It really is something.

Yes, I will admit that when I first started fasting (4 years ago), I had headaches and/or was lightheaded. But like you said I have become accustomed to it, and I feel even better after a long fast than if I don't fast.

I've listened to music pretty much all day, everyday, for years and years. I decided to fast from music this week. :singer::drum::guitar:


The results:

Mind less cluttered/less distracted
Clearer thoughts
More productive
More in tune with myself
Enhanced peacefulness


I plan to continue the fast, for the time being.

How do you live, w/o a little Acapella, during the week, Mayor, or Leonard Blush? You sure you don't have a compelsion complex?

No more "Mr. Cookie Bars?"

Can you send me the Rafe Hollister party mix phonograph, brother?

 

[SaulToPaul 2]

No more "Mr. Cookie Bars?"

And no more peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, no more carefree hours.

You’re real funny, you know that, Mayor? TOL members ought to all pitch in, and book you on one of those excursion lines.

I'd rather take Eagle Eye Annie out on Myers Lake in a small rowboat.

I'll take a dinner jacket, smoking jacket, or a green fake "Masters" jacket.

I declare, Mayor. You seem a mite nervous- as nervous as a cat in room full of rocking chairs.

What's your hurry?

When we going to get some Gomer Pyle USMC references? That Corporal Boyle used to crack me up. Or Hogan's Heroes? I wanted to be Kinch when I grew up.

Here is a pic of me, studying my Catholic jazz(propaganda), as a youngin:

Pretty cool goggles, don't you think?
