I decided to go with the three day fast. This was my last meal the night before:
I decided to have an orange because it was referred to so many times in the book. I don't really like eating oranges because of the pulp and always went for the juice. I didn't really know how to cut it being that I don't eat them. I hadn't had anything but soup so far this day, so my mouth was already reacting to the orange from the smells. I basically ate it by sucking the juice out and not getting any pulp in there. It was delicious. Sweet and perfect in the mouth. I will buy more to keep around when I want a sweet snack.
I followed with a big bowl of watermelon. One of my favorite melons! I could eat watermelon all day and night. It was an easy bowl to make it through.
I followed that with a lemon pepper rotisserie salmon cutlet from Fresh Market. This was really salty. It had been sitting in the heated case all day so it was also a bit dried out. It was not as good as I was hoping for a last meal, but the inside was good, just way too salty.
I then had a small bowl of my favorite creamy tomato soup from the organic section at Rouse's. It is not very fattening or salty, and it is just plain good. Yum! Perfect! It also keeps in its store container (like a broth box) so it will be in the fridge too for when I can eat again.
I finished off my left over crawfish ettouffe from Sunday's lunch. It only filled up about half of a very small plate but I wanted to be sure I didn't have any food in the fridge to tempt me through my fast. I had also bought a hidden valley ranch packet because I was craving that dip with veggies. I cut a few celery sticks and had made the dip with organic sour cream. Yum! Perfect! I didn't really have the hunger to eat this, but I made myself since I bought it. I know the dip will hold up for this weekend and after my fast it will be ready and waiting for me!
I ended my last meal before fasting with double chocolate gelato from Fresh Market. Oh, this was heaven. It was dark chocolate gelato with chocolate chips in it. They were a present that I wasn't expecting. A definite highlight! I am writing about this at the end of my first day of fasting and my mouth is going crazy with drool just thinking about the better points of this last meal. I already can't wait to eat again!
