My Seven Day Fasting Project - 168 Hours COPLETE

Seven days ago I set out to fast for 7 days with the intention of it maybe giving me some answers to the question of if I want to live, die or whatever, but within a day or two this turned more into a science experiment for my biology class on the effects of fasting on cognitive abilities. Now that the experiment is complete, all the data is collected, all that is left to do is compile the information into a conclusion that I will be able to present to the class and the teacher. As usual I completed my cognitive degeneration test.

The results are as follows:

My Seven Day Fasting Project - The Beginning

Today at 5:30 pm was my last meal for the next 7 days. I ate two slices of pepperoni pizza totaling about 1000 calories. For the next 7 days I will only consume water. Every 12 hours beginning 5:30 on the 21st of October I will complete 20 simple math problems that are 2 numbers, 3 digits. There will be 5 addition problems, 5 subtraction problems, 5 division problems, and 5 multiplication problems. I will time how long it takes me to perform each group of 5 and test how fasting affects my cognitive ability. I realize this isn't exactly scientific, but the test just give me an excuse to starve myself for 7 days.

On a side not the real reason why I am doing this is because I am looking for answers. Not scientific answers but the answers to the question, "Do I want to live?" I figure 7 days of fasting will trigger a self preservation instinct in me and answer that question for me. I'm not saying that I will starve myself to death or kill myself by other means if that self preservation instinct never kicks in.
