I should note that I'm tired in part because I gave the all-day dry-fasting a try, to get a sense of what 1/4 of us do every year.

Man, that is a tough business!

I've done 17- and 19-day water fasts, but going without water for even a brief period definitely wears on a body.

I'm going to keep giving it a try this year, to get a sense of how it affects a person physically and mentally, but I have to say, from the trial run, that I'd honestly rather be fully water-fasting for the 30 instead. 😬
