Temptation, a major/minor choice of good or evil with unknown consequences in the long run.

But if ENT's breakfast tempts you it's probably matter over mind,

like being in the desert looking for that waterhole.

No matie, it's a mind thing. Think we have to back to the Greeks to where it originated.
The military hi-jacked the word and later maybe the sports world, education, adopted the word also to use.
Some countries like in the east used opium before going in to battle; in the west they would use alcohol. Dutch courage and all that. Big medals at the end of couragous battles usually brought out the beast in man. Or whatever the reward.

Know that we are conditioned by language.

Yes a mind thing.

Day 24...

Good morning, sir. Is it early evening back there, like 5:30 PM?

In any case, I'm glad I've had it and I want it back.

So you're in TH (yes or no will suffice bc you don't include your location in your posts)?

Come from Belfast, N.Ireland, presently living just outside London.

Disciple was an early one for us. Someone who learnt from a religious teacher or plain teacher.

Disciplinarian ; someone who believes in making someone 'obey' orders. Do this ,don't do that.
And then refusing that, Disciplinary action will be taken.
Getting your arse whipped.

All about Control.

What i've said in other post is the opposite to all that, the self discipline
where 'you' alone check out for yourself how thought operates in a conditioned state
and freeing yourself from all the circus nonsense,, like an after-life
where that becomes more important than the life we have now
and where FEAR controls you. though you may not realise it.
It controls thought.
And thought is a controlling merchant. See it in yourself right here right now.

But you can see where all this is going.

Self interest is the beginning of corruption of mind.

Maybe listen,,,,, but follow nothing or nobody.

Great answer! But what has attracted you to TD, particularly considering you've contributed over 7,000 posts?

Day 24? Intense. Stay safe!

^^ with that username, it must have been for the goats

Thanks, Jack, and in an hour and a quarter it will be day 25. But I'm really looking forward to day 26 when I get to weigh myself after 5 days. Besides learning my current weight another reason I'm looking forward to it is to see the rate of my weight loss in the last 5 days and compare that to the previous 3 weight loss rates, all spaced 5 days apart. Cheers!

If you keep it going WJB, I think you will have to ask John Edward to continue posting for you.

seemed to have lost that reply so again.

When i was living in thailand a friend asked me to have a look.

At the time, I didn't realize 3rd place teams were eligible for the round of 16. And I really wanted Sweden to beat Belgium, esp. bc of Zlatan Ibrahimović. But Sweden showed me nothing. Belgium seemed much faster getting to and running with the ball. They also looked much younger, which may have explained the extra speed. Their late goal was a beauty and all they needed was a draw to move on.

Anyway, Ireland vs Italy was on at the same time but I did toggle back and forth between the two games and it was great to see the Irish fans celebrating after the victory. Also, I'm of full blooded Irish immigrant blood on both sides and my brother has found our Irish genealogy as far back as that's been recorded. Next up, on Monday at 2 AM in LOS: England! Can't wait for that but no, lol, can't drink
alcohol while fasting.

Update on the fast; Day 25. Am finally noticing a loss of belly fat. From my dick to halfway to my belly button, it's 100% fat free, when pinched! Big happy surprise. Didn't realize that was totally separate from the abdominal and oblique muscles. And no change there at all. But I'm pretty damn sure, you lose body fat covering up the abdominal muscles last of all, so I think that's next. Hard to believe it could happen over night, though.

Hows yer shits, soft or hard?

Checking your pH?

What's your mineral balance level?

Keep smiling.

First question: no hard news to report from that end. Actually, no reports at all since since the last event on June 16 and reported on here https://teakdoor.com/health-fitness-a...ml#post3292840 (Fasting)
But I'm continuing to fart, w/o any leakage, which leads me to believe that my metabolism is feeding on my fat and, to a lesser extent, lean muscle and no waste products are produced from that except for the farts. It's a pretty satisfying feeling bc, if my digestive system was burning up anything besides muscle and fat, there would be bowel movements.

Question 2: Piss on PH. Don't care. What matters to everybody most is that their piss is crystal clear. That means you are fully hydrated. That means your PH will be as close to clean water as you can get. If you can't get to clear piss no matter how much water you drink, well, then I guess PH is pretty damn important.

Question 3: I take a multivitamin containing plenty of minerals every morning.

Day 25...Yes...Merry Christmas, wj...

Wow. That's great!

Come up north (Chiang Mai) and get out of that rain! We're bone dry up here except for a couple of splashes now and then. And you can always wait 'em out, they're so short. People don't carry their umbrellas all the time.

Have fun, will travel, OK?

Farts result from undigested proteins in the large intestine, normally.

Could be residual black deposits in colon, may need probiotics to shift it.

Don't take too much calcium right now.

I concur.
You are farting because of food deposits still in the colon. After such a long fast, you should be having the occasional enema, using pure, clean water. Otherwise it's not at all good for your colon.

I'm waiting to say 3 days man, 3 days.

Woodstock and all that.

Excitement mounting, the Final Count down.
