Today is my 36th day of water.  I've slipped up once.  It wasn't anything temptation-related either... just forgot.  Didn't even realize it for two days.  But even that was 3 1/2 weeks ago, and I'm holding strong.  In a way, it's the hardest it's been.  It's been a long time since I've had anything tasty (with the exception of that wayward Sprite), which makes it that much harder to resist when I see it sitting in front of me.  At the same time (and anybody who is currently fasting or has fasted in the past understands this), there's an incredible resolve that comes in at about this point.  You look at the calendar, and realize that you're over 3/4 of the way there, and it's suddenly much easier to hold strong.  That's where I am, and I suspect it's where most of you are, too.  But this is the final push!  I'm going to make it 10 more days!  I am!
