Exactly what is it you believe starving yourself "gives to God?" I'm sorry but I don't think God needs ANYTHING from you. I am fairly certain God has all God needs with or without you. Your arrogance is nauseating. If you want to truly sacrifice for God, then let go of your ego, let go of your fears. Become the non-judgmental, accepting child God made you to be.
you need to have your children taken from you and you need to be committed. there is no way you can starve yourself to near death for your imaginary zombie god and care for them properly at the same time. you poison the minds of your children with this filth, promising them a future cursed with the doubt of mom's mental illness and the threat of eternal suffering to keep them in line. you must be so proud.
@cospi212 When I was a child, my mom used to tell me that God had much more important things to be attending to than any silliness I might conjure. It's so sad, this poor woman has completely missed the point about being humble, about being accepting of her smallness in the scheme of things.
According to this, she in some sense, did the fast during inappropriate time. She had a 6 week born child. She needs her strength for the newborn and the other children as well.
You are so inspiring... I have something I need to ask from god and I really need it to happen so I can help someone near me. I know that I need to get into a deep state of worship and the biggest gift you can give is fasting... I am going to fast for 40 days in hope that god will listen to me. I hope my body can cope. You are such a good person... no critic will understand that. You and I and all believers know.
To call this fasting is an insult to fasting. You are literally starving yourself. This is very disturbing. I'm sorry for my lack of tact or moderation but I hope you never do this again.
You look so much better and gorgeous then on ur last day of fasting. i thought you were a different person! you should of done just 40 days rathe than that 3 times!
In all of your other videos, you have no hair, no fat and your pale as a ghost. God wants us to treat our bodies like temples, so if you think that doing this for god will make him happy, WRONG!
Check out my video on Fast Weight Loss Soup that you make at home from real food. I ate this everyday and lost weight every day. Never hungry and it cleansed my body. I felt terrific while on this.
i believe in fasting to become closer to God but what about your BABY? did you deprive & neglect your baby, who God blessed you with to take care of & use the tools (breast milk) to nourish & strengthen them? your milk would dry up! did you just feed it formula? with a 6 week old it was selfish of you to think God would want you to do that to your self while you had a responsibility to take care of your child. there is a time for everything & i can't believe it was the right time for you
i hear matthew 6.16-8. but I do not think you are flaunting your fast. you are sharing. there is a difference. thank you again. I study yoga, and your bible (beautiful book) is to you, as the yoga sutras is to me. there are 195 sutras in total. I will read one a day. perhaps this will be a journey I will share with you for 195 days. will not fast for that long. will fast till 110pounds from 137; but will walk with God through your powerful encouraging christian path for 195 days. God bless you.
I think what you did is nuts! buuuuuut. Girl; on some fucked up level, im actually proud of you. it takes a lot of strength, after the life youve briefly discribed (kids etc); Im motivated.
I start today. God help me. :-) not gonna do 3 * 40 though. I weight 137 pounds. my ideal goal is 110 pounds. I'm gonna follow your plan day by day, and comment day by day. i'm again on some fucked up level :-D grateful that you have this. real inspiration. glad you came out alive on the other side. :-)
@pangaeanigerian and I want to add; that I will be practicing Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series (which I do most days) as well as doing a morning breathing practice (I havent practiced for a while), and studying for exams. For me, my practice is about connecting to God/Divine/Universe/to the higher self that could be. I have been wanting to fast along side my practice (even for a day) and couldnt. I just quit occasional cigarettes officially almost 6 wks ago, and I feel great. Thank you. :-)
Most people do not weigh 200lbs and have a crazy devotion to a deity that has never been proven.. a devotion so extreme as to sacrifice life and the wellbeing of their children (if this wasn't just a ploy to lose weight.. watch the first video and see how progressively crazy this lady get's in her search for redemption/fame/weightloss).
what's with all the angry comments?whether this woman is doing the right thing or not is neither here nor there. she was going to fast and i'm glad she made the vlog because it's more eye-opening than any edited documentary you'd see on tv. there's no journalistic narration, no biased angles. it's just an honest account of one woman's experience. bring your own opinions by all means but be greatful that you were given the material to base it on..
Haha what a waste of time. Not healthy, just watch as your body eats all your muscle and you become frail and your joints begin to break down easier. Hope you get hit by a gust of wind it will break you in half when you nearing the end...
Hey say Hi to God for me, I don't think i'm going to heaven because I eat like a pig, masturbate on sunday morning, sleep with girls before i'm married, drink lots and wipe my ass with the bible.
If any of you had any idea what you were talking about your would realize that a 40 day fast is actually very healthy for you if you do it correctly. Fasting in general is a good practice to do for your body. Especially now days with all the junk we eat
I've never heard of anyone going over the 40 day fast and I have no idea if that can be healthy at all, I do know that eating disorders can start by fasting if you are prone to such things.
This is incredibly unhealthy, pointless, and sends the wrong signals. Especially to your children. The long term psychological damage this could cause for your children down the road is very scary.
You want to honor God? Teach your children to be decent people and to love others. This is horrifying.
I'm on day 2 of my 14 day fast and I feel great. Previously, the longest I went without food was 36 hour during a military training mission. I'm at 35 hours now, and for some reason, feel alive. My only intake is water, and Tums to keep the acid level down. I took my last Tum a few mins ago, and now I think the acid will dissapate for the next week. Anyhow, Wish me luck.
when does fasting become starvation? when fat levels become very low, seems like this person went from fasting to starving herself. if there is a god, maybe he should say ''hey fasting is good but dont go f*king mental on it ok''
@coolgirl3289 But she wasj ust fine on the 40 day fast. She went overboard with the 41-120 day fast. You basically reitirated what I said. Stop trying to better your fail logic by using my superior logic.
this is a bad example for young girls. This only promotes anorexia and gives young girls the idea to waste away into nothing and use god as their excuse! a lot of people die trying to live off nothing. heart failure, kidney failure! people are going to end up in the hospital if they try this! this is wrong!
@cutebutterfly09 Fasting is not anorexia. What a stupid thing to say. 40 days of fasting is excessive, but frankly EVERYONE should be fasting once in a while. Not only does it make you live longer, but it's so good for your body.
You did good sharing this to inspire others, including me, I havent fasted in a long while for more than 3 days, I will be doing this. Thanks for sharing this....... Jeanette

You look seriously unhealthy by the end of this. Why would god want you to go through such pain!? Your young children need you in good health, yet your acting out your deluded fantasies.
Why would fasting set you to become the woman god wants you to be, it proves you love your god, a god who wants to see you suffer. Your an absolute disgrace
"And when you fast, don't make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, who try to look pale and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I assure you, that is the only reward they will ever get. 17 But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face. 18 Then no one will suspect you are fasting, except your Father, who knows what you do in secret. And your Father, who knows all secrets, will reward you. Words of Jesus in Matthew 6:16-18
yeah that was back when we had leaders who actually taught useful things - now it says take up your cross - guy - and something about not accusing your brothers and sisters , that's in there too .
@SuperAnonymousJustic In Matther 5:1, Jesus says, "Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. TO BE SEEN BY THEM are the key words. Jesus did't just simply say not to practice your righteousness in front of others. Othewise, no one would be able to do anything righteous for others, because they would have to be seen by the one(s) they were ministering to, thus practicing their righteousness in front of others.
@SuperAnonymousJustic How many people did Jesus heal in front of large crowds? How many people did He pray in front of? Was he sinning? No, He did it so that others would believe in His name, and bring glory to the Father. That is one of the things Olivia was trying to accomplish.
@SuperAnonymousJustic Even in the verses you quoted, Jesus states the sinful motivation as being, "so people will admire them for their fasting." Not only did she not "try to look pale and disheveled," but as the fast went on, she began fixing her hair nicer, putting on make up, and wearing nicer clothes. Olivia is one of the most pure hearted people I have ever met. - Aaron Cohen.

Othewise, no one would be able to do anything righteous for others, because they would have to be seen by the one(s) they were ministering to, thus practicing their righteousness in front of others.
@SuperAnonymousJustic By your logic and interpretation, you would also have to condemn anyone who prays in front of anyone else, including over meals, in church, with family, etc., because when they prayed, they did not go to their room, close the door and pray in secret, as Jesus "commanded."
@SuperAnonymousJustic This is Aaron, Olivia's husband. Matthew 6:5-6 says: 5 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

ur confusing me? I dont mean to insult anyone or anything but you talk about passover and then about Jesus. Are you Jewish or Christian? I also don't understand what it means "I'm fasting for G-d" Why does G-d wan't you to fast?
I am a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I suppose "God" is Jesus to you. I hope so. If so, you should refer to him by his name, and keep up the good work. You're reasons for fasting are very commendable. You have helped me to see the need to also begin fasting again myself. I have done much fasting in the past but not lately. You have encouraged me to begin again. Thank You for these videos.
You have created, in your mind,a reality that we live in a world that is overseen by a God who takes pleasure in observing "his" "children" suffer and experience intense pain...just because it proves you "love" "him". Just all backwards and out of alignment. C'mon girlfriend, snap out of it!! You are just paddling upstream - can't you see??!! It is soooo much simpler and more fun than that!!
no doubt! what kind of all-loving all-powerful benevolent being would want people to suffer to prove their "love" or whatever the hell you wanna call it. If your husband/wife asked you to jab yourself in the eye with a fork to prove your love, you'd say they were effing nuts but this is somehow proving your love to god? how about treating people with love and respect? if u want to fast for health reasons, just say that. learn how to do it safely if you havent already.
I'm sorry but the part that really grabbed my attention was when you said you have 7 CHILDREN UNDER 8 YEARS OLD???? Either you had a couple multiple births are totally crazy!! (JK) I know you're not. But really???
What is wrong with you...? Your not doing gods will..ur doing the devils will or whatever u call it...i hope you get the help u need. if its not too late.
this documentary scares people from fasting. i have now seen all these "first 40 days". fasting is not about torture, it's about health, physical and spiritual. but after 40 days this lady is still sick, so she must be doing something wrong. guess what it is. it has to do with ignorance about basic concepts and fasting. please get yourself appropriate literature before starting fasting. make sure your stomach and intestines is ok before you start.
i think she did this just to lose weight, no really i think she anorexic. im sorry but i watched the last vid and she should have educated herself first!
I was wondering if you breastfed during this fast or not? I am also a believer and gave birth to my 5th child 4.5 weeks ago. I think this would be beneficial to me but I would like some more info if you have time. :)
I'm proud of you. That is really inspiring. I'm doing a forty day water fast also as a sacrifice to God, in order to feed on His Word and starve out demons in my life. I'm only on day 2 and I'm praying God will give me the strength, discipline, and grace to do it.
Oh My God! This is truly a blessing that I stumble across your video, I have decided to fast and have been trying since the first time i saw your post earlier this year, it has been a inspiration, i too have children 4, and trying to conquer this fasting, I have done research came across some health full tips, because I have diabetes type 2, my motive/point of fasting is for spirtual growth, weight loss, family, neighbors, direction, health, answers etc; so i will bring up your videos each day.
Did you really nurse your baby while fasting? That's hard to believe. It's hard to believe you even have children. I just don't see how someone who is fasting could have energy to nurse a newborn, take care of (6?) other children and keep up the hose. That's just impossible.
KJV of Bible: That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. (Matthew 6:18).
@MachineAmbition well all of that is irrelevant cause the bible is writen by a bunch of ugly jews not god. so wats ur point? or her point in this matter?
"For God"? In any sane conception of God, He wouldn't enjoy people suffering for no benefit.
Apparent, you think God on his Heavenly throne is thinking "Oh, wait -- what's this? Someone in the Midwest is abusing her body! Oh, her misery is delicious! It's so touching that for my sake, she's doing something that benefits neither me nor her fellow man! Oh, the sweet misery!"
Wow. You must think God is a REALLY creepy sadist.
Want to show Him how He inspires you? Volunteer at a soup kitchen.
There are more "unselfish" ways to do what God wants like GO HELP THE POOR or those in NEED! Becoming malnourished whenever you wan't mocks those who are in need, you can decided when to eat or not, but many people in the world have no choice but to starve. Fasting shouldn't be something so long, you should fast until you know the pangs of hunger and feel humble for those who are in need THEN go help them and do good!
YOU WIEGH YOURSELF YOU SAD FOOL BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT DOING THIS FOR THE LORD OR GOD YOU ARE DOING THIS BECAUSE YOU ARE SICK IN THE HEAD I HOPE NO YOUNG GIRLS SEE YOUR SELFISH SICK STUNT. When will people learn that GOD loves those who are humble and love from within you my dear are screaming from the rooftops and GOD will see through your charade.
Starving yourself only prooves that you have will power. God gave you free will and God is justice, He will not "take care" of you because YOU are not taking care of you. God does not need sacrifices from you. If you need to sacrifice yourself to make yourself believe you are worthy of God`s blessings, ok. But putting yourself in this position is horrible enough, not to mention with a newborn baby. Wanna be closer to God? read the bible, pray, be with your family.
@EMKEMPJ You really don't KNOW about the Bible hey. Do you know why Jesus FASTED. It makes your spirit sensitive to God, and it gives you POWER too. Also IF Fasting is done with Prayer it causes a war with the angels .. read Daniel 10
For sure you have proved that a person can Live after going with out food for 40 days. God Bless you God cause his light to shine in and with in you and bless you. and lift you up into a higher level of understanding in your Personal walk with him your blessed Savior. In the Name of Yeshua Jesus Christ Amen
You are being selfish .. and snubbing God's blessings .. that he has given you. You are cheating your children .. and now 5-1-2010 youhave 8. I pray you have an awakening. May God Continue to bless you.
Look at yourself in this video .. and then the video of the 40th day of the 3rd consecutive fast. You look like a shell of a person. You look horrible.. sick, gaunt, and just plain deadly thin. This is ugly .. and NOT WHAT GOD wants of you to do with the body he has blessed you with. THIS IS NOT WHAT GOD WANTS OF YOU TO SHOW YOUR LOVE !!!! Are you serious ???
Umm yeah, I can assure you God doesn't appreciate your little "religious fasts". You're just doing this to lose weight, stop lying to yourself! You're going to end up dead!
Religious fasting has been practiced for a very long time as a drug-free way to induce an altered state of consciousness. I've watched the whole series and the lady does seem to be genuinely religious. But being absolutely certain of God's opinion on this is just as irrational as her belief that God called her to fast. Talking to God is faith - God talking to you is psychosis. Nobody on this planet has a direct hotline to God. Just saying.
This is ridiculous i.e. fasting for God - plain stupid. Do something meaningful such as getting a second job to help feed the poor - now that would be a sacrifice ! fasting for ones ownself in moderation is okay but claiming to do it for God is just too stupid to comprehend . Do something worthwhile such as in meaningful - this is a pathetic way to try to get attention.
Fasting has been practiced by many different cultures for religious reasons for thousands of years. Islam, Judaism, Mormons, and Christian religions, and now, you're the world's pundit on the subject?
@billoakesattablthree Proverbs 18 1Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. 3When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
Hi! I'm so inspired by you.. Thank you so much for documenting and showing us that water fasting is indeed possible.. Your videos can save millions of lives.. Again thank you so much.. I hope I'd be able to meet you in person .. Our God is very proud of you.. Colleen
uhm no look at the end of her 3rd fast, look how she looks. god doesnt want you to starve yourself to show that you belive and love him. if he does then god is a dick to want us do that.
l done a 40 day water only Fast but only lasted 30 days and when l broke it l really regretted it. l'm going to do another only this time with God help l will suceed and show the body/human/self that l the being/spirit/soul is in charge.
heyyy. i am actually startinq mt fast today. & will be watchinq your videos day by day. if possible can you tell me the exavt multi vitamin you were taking. thank you sooo much. qod bless :].
This isn't fasting, this is extreme dieting. If you're unhappy with your post baby-weight, try joining weight watchers, eating vegetables/fruit and exercising. Not eating will just make your body weak and unhealthy.

when does fasting become starvation? when fat levels become very low, seems like this person went from fasting to starving herself. if there is a god, maybe he should say ''hey fasting is good but dont go f*king mental on it ok''

this is a bad example for young girls. This only promotes anorexia and gives young girls the idea to waste away into nothing and use god as their excuse! a lot of people die trying to live off nothing. heart failure, kidney failure! people are going to end up in the hospital if they try this! this is wrong!

@cutebutterfly09 Fasting is not anorexia. What a stupid thing to say. 40 days of fasting is excessive, but frankly EVERYONE should be fasting once in a while. Not only does it make you live longer, but it's so good for your body.

You look seriously unhealthy by the end of this. Why would god want you to go through such pain!? Your young children need you in good health, yet your acting out your deluded fantasies.
Why would fasting set you to become the woman god wants you to be, it proves you love your god, a god who wants to see you suffer. Your an absolute disgrace

@SuperAnonymousJustic How many people did Jesus heal in front of large crowds? How many people did He pray in front of? Was he sinning? No, He did it so that others would believe in His name, and bring glory to the Father. That is one of the things Olivia was trying to accomplish.

@SuperAnonymousJustic Even in the verses you quoted, Jesus states the sinful motivation as being, "so people will admire them for their fasting." Not only did she not "try to look pale and disheveled," but as the fast went on, she began fixing her hair nicer, putting on make up, and wearing nicer clothes.

@SuperAnonymousJustic By your logic and interpretation, you would also have to condemn anyone who prays in front of anyone else, including over meals, in church, with family, etc., because when they prayed, they did not go to their room, close the door and pray in secret, as Jesus "commanded."

@SuperAnonymousJustic This is Aaron, Olivia's husband. Matthew 6:5-6 says: 5 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

no doubt! what kind of all-loving all-powerful benevolent being would want people to suffer to prove their "love" or whatever the hell you wanna call it. If your husband/wife asked you to jab yourself in the eye with a fork to prove your love, you'd say they were effing nuts but this is somehow proving your love to god? how about treating people with love and respect? if u want to fast for health reasons, just say that. learn how to do it safely if you havent already.

Did you really nurse your baby while fasting? That's hard to believe. It's hard to believe you even have children. I just don't see how someone who is fasting could have energy to nurse a newborn, take care of (6?) other children and keep up the hose. That's just impossible.

"For God"? In any sane conception of God, He wouldn't enjoy people suffering for no benefit.
Apparent, you think God on his Heavenly throne is thinking "Oh, wait -- what's this? Someone in the Midwest is abusing her body! Oh, her misery is delicious! It's so touching that for my sake, she's doing something that benefits neither me nor her fellow man! Oh, the sweet misery!"
Wow. You must think God is a REALLY creepy sadist.

There are more "unselfish" ways to do what God wants like GO HELP THE POOR or those in NEED! Becoming malnourished whenever you wan't mocks those who are in need, you can decided when to eat or not, but many people in the world have no choice but to starve. Fasting shouldn't be something so long, you should fast until you know the pangs of hunger and feel humble for those who are in need THEN go help them and do good!

britturk123 1 year ago
Starving yourself only prooves that you have will power. God gave you free will and God is justice, He will not "take care" of you because YOU are not taking care of you. God does not need sacrifices from you. If you need to sacrifice yourself to make yourself believe you are worthy of God`s blessings, ok. But putting yourself in this position is horrible enough, not to mention with a newborn baby. Wanna be closer to God? read the bible, pray, be with your family.

Religious fasting has been practiced for a very long time as a drug-free way to induce an altered state of consciousness. I've watched the whole series and the lady does seem to be genuinely religious. But being absolutely certain of God's opinion on this is just as irrational as her belief that God called her to fast. Talking to God is faith - God talking to you is psychosis. Nobody on this planet has a direct hotline to God. Just saying.
