DAY 19 / 90

I lost 27.6 pounds in 19 days. Today is day 19 of the 90 day water fast and I lost another 1.8 pounds. We started at 228 pounds and now we are down to 201. Nice. How am I feeling? I am feeling good. I am doing well.

I had a situation that has never ever happened to me before. I had an itch, I went to scratch and I scratched it. Did not think anything of it. But later that night when I took a look at it again, it turned into a fully grown red area, like an infected area or something. You could imagine, I am panicking. What is this about? Why is this happening? Does this have anything to do with the fast?

Called for reinforcement. I spoke to my wife and she was like, well, just put some ointment on it and take a Benadryl. Do I take Benadryl while I am on a fast? I have never had this situation happen before and I do not know how my body is gonna react to it. So I am strictly in panic mode. I took the Benadryl and went to sleep.

Before I fell asleep I am thinking to myself, if this thing keeps growing, whatever it is, it could be a bug bite for all I know and I have to stop the fast, not a problem. I will stop the fast. Maybe a couple of slices of pizza. Well, I will just get a whole pizza pie and start feeding myself medication and getting myself better. Let us be real. Then I would be talking to you guys saying, well, we tried, I had to end the fast.

But that turned out not to be the case. I woke up this morning, took a look at the rash and it is getting smaller, it is going away. The color of my skin is coming back. So there you are. Just thoughts going through my head, with medication and stuff like that. Never had to do that before but it is my little drama for the day.

That being said, I am gonna let you guys go. You have a nice day and remember, listen to your body. Cheers.
