Congratulations. It's an admirable thing to do for a good cause.
I hope you didn't eat too much at first. Even a very small amount off food would probably knock you out cold while your body diverts all it's enery to getting the digestive juices flowing again.
They had a story on NPR a couple weeks ago about fasting. Not for fund raising or any other reason like that, but just because certain people think that it's healthy to fast and helps them find "enlightenment". (Think I'll start a 'nother thread and see if any TFPer's have done a long fast like this).
The reporter doing the story did a two week fast as research and all he felt at the end was very tired.
Have any enlightening experiences while fasting?
