As of the time of this writing, I am about to complete my fourteenth fast, which is my third prolonged dry fast after I completed water fasting eleven times. My water fasting poems below reflect what I felt during those fasting on water experiences, as well as everything I’ve learned about myself, my story of food and health, and my God. May you be encouraged and empowered by my poems about water fasting! I hope they will help you with your own wellness breakthrough.

A Poem About Water Fasting

“A Poem About Water Fasting” 

Water fasting is a difficult journey to optimal health.
Health is a very unique, rare, and special type of wealth.

It’s not something you can inherit from relatives or go buy.
You must earn health by sleeping, exercising, and eating to live - not to die. 

The obstacles to optimal health surround you everywhere:
Ice cream, burger, pizza, fries, chocolates, and soda are found anywhere. 

These are addictive drugs, which are stronger than cocaine.
They trick, addict, damage, and destroy your one and only precious brain.
 
These drugs are specifically designed by food scientists to get you hooked,
To get you overeat, crave crap, and to make your wellness overlooked. 

They are ought to make you fat, miserable, sick, and nearly dead.
They aim to give you diseases so that you’re permanently stuck on your bed.

The only way to get unhooked from all the food crap is to do a water fast.
It helps restore your brain, your stomach, your arteries, and heals you best.

Though fasting on water won’t make you feel good.
It will however mobilize and cleanse all kinds of crap and get your body to reboot. 

After your water fast, eat healthy plants, whole grains, nuts, and seeds.
That way fasting on water meets your health goals and even exceeds. 

Don’t put crappy food into your mouth, avoid getting crap-hooked. 
Eat raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, as well as whole grains cooked. 

When you achieve optimal health and people try to get you off track,
When they offer you deep-fried chicken, cheesy mushed potatoes, and other crap... 

Learn to say "no thank you" and stay true to your values and health priority.
Exercise boundaries and refuse crappy food with determination and authority.

Water Fasting vs Gluttony

“Water Fasting vs Gluttony” 

Water fasting is a tough test for your discipline, fortitude, commitment, and spiritual maturity. 
It rids your body of addictive food crap, chemicals, and fat. And it helps you achieve spiritual purity.

Without food, day after day, you feel deprived, trapped, physically weak, and emotionally unstable.
Only God can help get you through. He gives you strength. God is of divine comforting able. 

Water fasting journey tests your thinking, wisdom, and your willingness to abide in Christ.
Jesus gave up His life to set you free. The least you can do is just a few meals to sacrifice. 

Sacrificing food, your temptations, salt and fat addictions, and mental focus isn’t easy at all.
That’s why to be able to fast on water only, you must every day wholeheartedly on God call. 

You must have strong reasons to fast on water only, not just weight loss, that goal is too vain. 
You must set your eyes on the Lord and desire Him more than food, that’s how you can stay sane. 

During your water fast, you’ll be tested plenty: your faith, your body, your priorities, your will, your strength, your habits, and your mind.
At the end of your water fast, you’ll be renewed physically, mentally, and spiritually: you’ll no longer be weak and blind.

You’ll be able to see clearly that food is no longer your master, it can’t control you, you have one master, you belong to God.
You’ll understand what the Bible means in saying: put a knife to your throat if the sin of gluttony the best of you got. 

You’ll be able to honor God with your body, eat like Daniel did, and flee from the food addiction gluttony sin.
You’ll be able to focus on building mental, emotional, and spiritual strength, abide in Christ, and stay lean.

Water Fasting Unlocks Health and Wealth

"Water Fasting Unlocks Health and Wealth" 

Health is an asset like no other.
Money and success don’t matter if
Every day pains and aches you bother
And without drugs you cannot live.

Health can’t be bought with any money.
It must be earned day after day
By sleeping, stretching, walking, running,
And eating plants instead of prey.

Health benefits from water fasting.
When you don’t eat for several days,
Your body uses time for resting
And activates God’s healing ways.

The ways that help you detox deeply,
The ways that cure your DNA, 
The ways that heal your gut completely 
And keep diseases far away. 

By fasting, you reduce your waistline,
You also use your long-stored fat.
By this, you reach your healthy baseline,
Stop inflammation, and reset. 

You were designed by God for health.
Your body is God’s Spirit’s temple.
You must pursue health as your wealth,
And watch your body no more tremble. 

You must eat right. You must workout.
You must abstain from food sometimes.
You  must be fine to go without
To learn to lean on God at all times.

By fasting, you improve your wellness,
Refresh your spirit, and start fresh.
You also receive benefits endless
Designed by God to heal your flesh. 

When you have health, you’re truly rich.
When you’re near-dead and very sick,
No money can your life enrich.
So, build good habits and with them stick!

Fast regularly on plain water,
Eat fruits, legumes, veggies, and nuts,
Do not support abuse and slaughter.
To live a healthy life takes guts! 

To stop yourself from early dying,
Reverse diseases and get healed,
You need to start more veggies buying, 
About fresh fruit getting thrilled!

Eat less, move more, get outside,
Sleep well, fast often, don’t eat meat!
And that’s the end of your health guide.
Now, it’s up to you to get healthy and fit!

These unique poems were born in my heart when I was genuinely suffering: trying to fast while having intrusive thoughts about food and experiencing food addiction withdrawal symptoms together with detoxification. My desire for genuine health enticed me to seek the truth about food, eating, feasting, fasting, gluttony, and binge-eating.

My experiences resulted in life-changing breakthroughs. I was able to dig deep into the dark dungeon of my soul and explore the impact of my childhood trauma on my eating habits, weight problem, health issues, and addictive behavior, which resulted in so much suffering.

Today, I am a plant-based vegan. I only eat when I’m hungry and not for any other reason. I only eat to satiety and do not overeat anymore. I’ve learned to negotiate with myself both feasting and fasting, so I am finally at my ideal weight. I’m strong and healthy. I love the person in the mirror. So, fasting truly improved everything for me!

Here’s what I wrote on my Instagram today.

Recently, I was at the neighborhood pool. Four women were there right next to me. For an entire hour, all they did was talk about what chicken to phone-order and from where. It was a gorgeous day but I don’t think they had the mental bandwidth to notice it because food occupied all their mental space and time. It was disturbing. I used to be like that, too. Fasting helped me heal and focus on my actual living. Now, I notice even butterflies whom I got to chase today for the first time in my life! I love love love my life! I love my new sharp awareness, mindfulness, gratitude, alertness, and such a colorful, flavorful experience of living naturally. I see better, I smell better, I move better, and I feel better!

I used to be depressed. I contemplated suicide.

Now, I love living. I love life. I love the new me.

I the person in my mirror. I love being in my beautiful body. I love seeing it and I love how I’m feeling in it. I love my energy. I love how my clothes fit. I love my strength. I love the natural glow of my skin, hair, and eyes. I love how strong my teeth and nails are and how well my metabolism works cleansing my system multiple times a day through healthy and natural poop. I don’t feel bloated, constipated, sick, fat, and miserable anymore. I feel myself. I recognize me in the mirror.

I used to have stomach ulcers, gastritis, rectal bleeding, lots of mucus, vaginal yeast infections, ear infections, bronchitis, and the list goes on based on my body being out of whack under stress, abuse, poor eating habits, and lack of fasting periods. Now, I’m truly healthy, thank God! I love not taking drugs, not being sick, and not being miserable. I love being healthy, active, energized, fit, strong, and joyful.

My entire family is obese and sick.

I’m not. Thank God for fasting…

I’m sharing this because I believe you deserve optimal health, too, and it’s available to you through fasting. It’s not easy, though it’s so simple. It forces you to really face your entire life story and your food story: who taught you what about food, when, and why. Fasting forces you to figure out who you are and what both food and eating mean to you. I hope my water fasting poems helped you in some way.

Let me know in the comments below if you fast.
