Blog: My 30 Day Fast-The Exquisite Journey
I can’t wait to eat. Why have I been so hungry lately I don’t know… and the sad part is… is that I don’t think I am really hungry, I am just so ready to eat. I am just baffled because I should be done with this. I thought I would be high or something! I think maybe the late hours have an affect on me!
All in all, I can’t complain because I feel good because I feel lighter, I have lost weight, my clothes fit better, I have accomplished something I didn’t think I would… I didn’t meditate as much as I thought I would but I did learn a lot about myself. I plan to start a yoga class this week too, we will see.
I got plenty of sleep today and didn’t want to get up. It seems that it has been hard for me to wake up lately even after 7 hours! But no matter how long I sleep, I always have to get up to pee... that didn’t happen before!
My pee has been a light yellow all the time every time, I must assume that is cleansing going on because usually when I drink a lot of water it would be clear at least sometimes!
I drank my lax tea before going to sleep and I watched a little bit of the movie “Defending Your Life” which I like a lot. It makes one think about the purpose of this life and really what we are supposed to get out of this experience. One thing they in the movie is that people on Earth only use 3% of their brain and they spend a lot of time trying to overcome fear, because that is what "little brains" do. It is said that fear is like a fog(I know what you are thinking). They say the purpose of living is to GROW! There is no getting it right or wrong. Intersting huh?
I woke up and did an enema because my stomach hurt and I knew that tea was doing something but I didn’t go on my own. This gluey pasty looking stuff came out.. I am thinking what the hell is that… is that what Pepsi, pizza and Ho-Ho’s turn into???? Afterward, I felt better. This is such an eye opening experience on what I put into my body. It should be illegal for companies to put certain ingredients into foods or make synthetic foods because they really have no clue how our bodies will react to a substance that this not nature based. They don’t know the long term effects. They don’t know that I bodies will even be able to break it down! They don’t know if our bodies can eliminate it! I guess they figure if it doesn’t kill you in 4 weeks then who gives a damn cuz we making some money baby! Cancer Smancer… we don’t know where it comes from!
I spoke with a doctor who does food transitioning and I don’t have to tell you why. A cute girl like me on oxygen ain’t so cute! She charges $160.00 for the initial consultation and tells you what to buy and eat then you come back in a month for a follow up… So I got to thinking.. is it worth paying that much? Plenty of other people have transitioned into healthier lifestyles, I know I can! I don’t smoke or dink and I am willing to give up my love affair with anything that has icing on it. I decided to take action! I just ordered 3 fabulous vegetarian and vegan cook books because I know I will get bored of eating the same thing if I am not proactive…..especially with All the BAD SAD foods are all around us!
The question is... What am I willing to do to save my own life? What am I willing to forego to have a great quality of life? What am I willing to believe about myself so that I can see the truth and respect all that I am?
The books look great and were only $35.00, so I saved myself $130 bucks! I know it will take some doing but I believe I can do it. There is nothing we CAN’T learn…right??? I know I will have to be creative and be willing to cook. I know how to cook basic things so this is going to help me grow and experiment. I find myself worrying about the cost of eating healthier and buying all the cooking equipment I don’t have… but that is another area that I need to “let go” of. The old “fear of not having.” Enough is enough! We learn about the law of attraction and the infinite universe and how if you ask then it is given… yet we worry about basic survival… Ridiculous! So anyway… Down with the lack mentality as we focus on love, health, abundance and prosperity!!!! I have made a decision to focus on what I want, not the reasons I can’t have it! Oh to be stress free!
So here I am excited about making the transition. To think I am going to be sexier than I already am (if that is possible) is “orgasmic!” You know how much I like myself already. (*wink wink) The one thing I must improve upon in exercise! I have a weight machine that I haven’t touched in months. I am going to incorporate that in my routine at least 3x a week. I know that will help me easily loose weight. I am at work now and I am sleepy… I pray I can make it thru this night. I don’t have to work for the next 5 days so I know I will be fine as I purposely don’t have any ready to eat food at home and I will be able to get rest.
As I said before, my goal is to be happy and take care of myself.
Thank you for reading and I send you my love and support!

Trulioness, you have some great posts. Congrats on your journey. To go that long on a fast is something only 1/10th of 1/10th of 1% of the earth's population can accomplish. Your lie will be forever changed.
I am an avid runner and have done several marathons and was always amazed by people who would tell me they could never do that. I told them you can. It was only the fear of the unknown that holds you back.
In your "new life after fast" you might try eating just raw. It is not that hard. I am doing now for about 45 days (I cant say I am 100% raw...but pretty darn close). Go to
http://www.superchargeme.com.
This lady documented her 30 day raw fast (kinda the opposite of Supersize Me- which was a documentary about Morgan Spurlock eating at McDonald's for 30 days). Anyway, I bought her documentary which I used to get me started.
What you have accomplished is amazing. Best to you

Thank you so much for your response. I thank you.. I have thought about going raw but I dont know anything about it or where to start that is why I have been researching vegan. I will definately check out the site for inspiration. I am proud of myself and I thought of quiting tommorrow and you just gave me the fuel I need to keep going. THANK YOU!!!!
If you have any other suggestions or resources please let me know. How did you go raw? Where did you start?

Without knowing it, I was eating about 40-50% raw. I did some research and decided to up the percentage and just make better choices. I am not doing it for weight loss. I am healthy and I want to maintain my good spirits. OK...here is my best advice to start raw:
1/ There are several resources I have found. Google David Wolfe. He seems to be one of the foremost raw guru's. He has a lot of helpful advice. Go to youtube and type in search "Arnold's way" (you can find a lot of David Wolfe on youtube as well). Arnold is a raw foodist and has a ton of videos about eating raw.
2/ Purchase a good blender if you don't have one. Make as many green smoothies a day as desired. I do 2 a day. A common recipe. Water,ice, banana, another fruit (apple,pear etc etc), leafy greens (can be spinach, kale, romaine lettuce, collard greens, chard, parsley etc- I always pick 2)...blend it well. The trick is the banana will cover up the taste of the greens, so use 2 banana's if need. These taste great and easy way of getting huge amounts fruits and vegetables in your diet. Plus being all blended makes it easy for your body to digest and assimilate the nutrients. Buy organic where you can.
3/ Don't beat yourself up if you eat occasional cooked food. I went to a superbowl party.....I had a beer, half a steak sandwich...so what, it's cool. By the way, wine is considered a raw food. So when the wine was opened, I switched.
4/ Educate yourself...Curezone has ton of info....of course I profess we all have all teh knowledge we need, it is the discipline that is lacking. So just like your fast, make it happen.
.
Anyone that can fast for 26 days is a hall of famer!
Best...
