Why are you fasting, if you don't mind me asking?
To test/build my willpower and gain better insights into suffering and starvation. That would be the primary reasons.
As for secondary reasons, Thanksgiving is approaching and, on a more practical level, I can afford to lose the weight at the moment anyways.
I should elaborate on the Thankgiving reason some. First the obvious, everyone is feasting while those who are starving keep on starving. Its not so much a protest on my part as it is a way for me to show recognition to them, if that makes any sense. Second, I would like to make my family think more about how fortunate they are and how unfortunate others are. Finally, I think the situation is funny.
That sums up my reasons pretty much. I'm lazy so I'll copy and paste the plan from my Diary if anyone is interested.

I'm starting a fast today for various reasons I may go into later. The plan at least at the moment is to reach at least 31 days without any food. I'll be drinking as much water as I want though. The water is purified via a Brita filter pitcher, which uses charcoal. Since it is city water, its full of chlorine and fluoride... My current weight is around 217-218.
