I have finished the 3rd day of a 40 day fast, and if possible, the 1st fast of 3 separate, consecutive 40 day, water only fasts. (A water fast is one in which only water is consumed.) The 1st two water fasts will be separated by 7 days of eating - (the days of Passover Week) - so the 2 fasts will consist of a 40 day fast before Passover Week and a 40 day fast immediately following Passover Week. While breaking the fast during Passover, only "Kosher for Passover" foods will be eaten. I post this information with every video.

I am fasting for spiritual reasons, the primary motivations being to become the woman G-d wants me to be, to know and do what He wants me to do, and to, in general, become the person He wants me to become. I am NOT doing this for the purposes of weight loss, cleansing, experimentation, record setting, health, or for any other non-religious alterior motive. Nor am I doing this for anyone else, though other individuals have asked me to pray for certain things during this time.

I plan on fasting up until passover week begins, (the evening of April 8), which would make it ~41 days of fasting, since I last ate on February 26, at 11:58pm. I will eat during passover, as instructed in the Torah, and then begin the second 40+ day fast, which will end with the beginning of Shavuot (Pentecost) on May 29, in the evening.

I believe this is called a "Moses Fast" or "Passover Fast" because Moses fasted for 40 days, then after finishing that fast, fasted another 40 days. The Bible says Moses did not drink water, however, and in contrast, I will be drinking water on a regular basis. Also, it can be referred to as a "Passover Fast" because you fast 40 days before Passover, eat, as commanded during Passover Week, and then fast ~40 more days until Shavuot/Pentecost.

I will be eating no food and drinking only water for 40 days, until Passover begins. At which time, I will break the fast by eating the passover meals and matzah bread (unleavened bread or bread without yeast) and foods allowed during the passover week, (equivalent to approximately one meal or less a day, all in total). Immediately following that week, I hope to begin the second 40 day fast, which will end on Shavuot (the day of Pentecost), so, in actuallity, it will be an additional 42-43 days of fasting. Though no one has ever gone more than 63 days without eating before death, I feel confident that with eating the passover meal/food each day during the passover week, and with God's protection, I will be able to finish the second 40 day fast. I assure you, I will NOT risk death. If at any time I feel my life is in danger, I will stop without hesitation.

This type of fast (a water only fast) is identical to the fast Moses, Jesus, and others have achieved, which means consuming nothing but water. However, Moses did not consume water, and Jesus did only one 40 day fast. Fasting for 40 days at least once was what I was initially striving for, but if on the last day of Passover Weak, I do not feel my health will be in danger, I hope to fast for 40 more days, thus completing two 40 day fasts.

I am aware of the admonitions to keep fasting private, along with the consequence of losing rewards for not doing so. I am normally a very quiet and private person. However, I feel information like this, being made available to the public, could be both motivational to the Spiritual, and informational to the Scientific. I searched for specific knowledge on fasting, but found few details concerning fasts lasting longer than a week or so.

I want my fasting to benefit both myself and G-d, but also others who may be helped by deciding to do the same thing. For these reasons, I will provide information on both the physical aspects and spiritual changes I experience daily, during the 40 day fast(s). This will include levels of hunger, energy, spiritual perception, weight loss, and both problems and benefits I experience. Weight amounts are only being publicly disclosed to confirm the validity of the fast itself.

In the interest of full disclosure, and at my husband's insistance, I am taking a multivitamin, which commonly include vitamins/minerals such as iron, potassium, sodium, B12, etc., one - two times a day. I have made entirely sure that these contain NO calories, protein, or sugars in any form. This is to ensure that, though I am drinking nothing but water, the risk of injury is at a minimum, and that the stringent definition of 'fasting' is not violated.

This fast started at 11:58 P.M., February 26, 2009.

  • Thank goodness I'm an atheist. Or else I might find myself inclined to go on crazy hunger strikes that "the lord" is telling me to go on. Hey..you folks want a sick, stomach churning shocker? Check out this woman's last couple of videos during her 3rd water fast. She looks like a starving 3rd world country victim.

  • the vitamins. iron. b12...none of this is called for in a water fast.

    I really would not want others to do as you are doing. Please everyone, read the avaibale literature on thousands of water fasts, it's all free online at "the soil and health library".

  • YOUR BODY NEEDS FOOD AND BEVERAGES!!

  • I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School based on the principles of the Universe: 真 Truthfulness 善 Compassion 忍 Forbearance.

    Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China. People are being killed, tortured, put into concentration camps and have organs harvested from live people, simply because of their belief. More than 3400 Falun Gong practitioners have died at the hands of CCP in the past 12 years.

  • @someoldladi you dont understand how the body works. What do animals do when they are sick. they lay down and do not eat anything until they feel better.. Pretty much everyone in the world is sick. So everyone should fast atleast once a year if they are going to continue to eat like poop

  • This woman is an idiot. God should give her a swift kick in her scrawny ass in the hope of driving some sense into her pea brain. God meant for you to eat, that's why you have a mouth and a hole out the back end. Girls, don't you dare follow in this sicko's footsteps--it's downright dangerous.

  • I have so much respect for you and you're my inspiration. I fasted for 30 days but no further. Please do not listen to negative comments. There is nothing wrong in reaping both spiritual as well asn physical bnefits from your fasting. Most of the people who accuse you of vanity wouldn't last 5 hours without food. They are probably eating fries while looking ar thus vid. God bless you.

  • U DONT TAKE VITS ND IRON IN A FREAKIN WATER FAST ,THIS IZZ BULLSHIT

  • water fast is only water. she should have definitely done some basic research on health. her legs feeling weak and so on is a clear sign of her body going through a healing crisis which is normal during a fast. she really seems to be giving fasting a bad name. and when a fast is broken, juice should be taken for the first few days, depending on the length of the fast, and then raw fruits and veggies. meat should be the very last thing to incorporate back into the diet.

  • @Galafaby18 Totally agreed, 100%! If you watch the videos from after the fast weight loss is mentioned before any spiritual benefits. Also, our fasting heroine wears more makeup in the newer videos. Coincidence? Unlikely.

  • you looks so much better here fuckn go back to eating

  • How does anyone survive without eating for 40 days?
