Side effects of Daniel Fast

I am so emotional! It is beyond ridiculous. I have cried at least half of the 20 days that I've been on this thing. Happy cries, sad cries, confused cries, cries because I want to cry and don't know why. Just ridiculous. But I think the worst is over. And I'm happy it happened. I realized I had been self medicating to some extent with food. Normally upon feeling emotional I reach for the sugar, but since I couldn't I was forced to deal with the feelings as they came. And I learned a lot about myself and about what I want to do with my life, what makes me tick, what ticks me off, etc. It is a rather beautiful experience actually.
