Background to my fast
My long story as to why I'm going on a fast.

FEELING CRAP
I've been having some strange digestive and erm,(constipation. hehe.) problems. I was and still am slightly suffering from really painfull gas that I can't/couldn't emit and the feeling of being constantly full even when I had hardly eaten anythings ... once to the point of actually vomiting back up a glass of water ... presumably because there was no room for it.
COLONIC ONE
Anyway, I decided to go for a colonic (my mums suggestion). Wasn't as gross as I thought it would be, in fact quite interesting. You literally begin to see with your eyes, you are what you eat!! The lady said she got lots out, my colon was healthy, but I had a serious gas problem which she couldn't get rid of entirely and I'd have to come back. She told me to take PB8 which I have been. I felt much better afterwards for a couple of days.
BAD CONSTIPATION
it eventually dawned on me that i wasn't having any BMs. (I'm slow , I know) So, then begun a horrid two weeks of quite serious constipation. Even senna tea didn't work, nor did the salt drink. I was eating healthy foods (lots of fibre, very litte sugar, and I'm vegan already so no dairy) I was finally going to give in and go the a doctor, but before I did that I took a supository, which worked. yippeee. Then, gradually my BMs went back to normal.
COLONIC TWO
Last week, I went back for another colonic and the lady said that my gas problem was even worse than before and we had a super tough time getting anything out. She said it seemed like something was stuck on one my right side as thats where the gas was strongest and most dense ... So, she suggested I fast. I was already thinking about it as my sister and mum fast quite often and are mainly raw eaters so I talk to them a lot about this kinda thing.
FIRST ATTEMPT FAST DAY ONE:
So that same day (as colonic 2) I started my first fast as I hadn't eatnen anything yet. I went stright to Wild Oats and bought me the master cleanse book,and the lemonade ingredients. I felt fine all day with the exception of a headache in the afternoon. But that went away. My toungue started getting coated and my breathe was gross, but I actually felt amazing and full of energy. I also had a pretty gross and unusual BM which I won't go into unless you want me to. Haha!
SECOND AND FINAL DAY:
WOW, so I woke up feeling like crap. I was hot and sweaty even though the room was cool. I went to the bathroom and was shaking and thought I was going to faint. I went back to bed and could barely move until 1pm. I had stayed the night at my art studio, so was panicking because I didn't think I'd be able to drive home I felt so weird and shaky. So, i broke the fast. Pathetic I know. I had a few dry weetabix, relaxed, recoverd and then went home.
NOT GOING TO GIVE UP:
Obviously, there is something not quite right about my body that it reacted that way. I spoke to my sister and she said she had never experienced these feelings and strongly suggested I try to fast again. which I was already wanting to do. So, I have spent the entire week eating clean and simple foods in preparation. I am to start friday (today) so I have the whole weekend to feel like crap at home! My plan has been just to do 4 days, but after reading everyone else's blogs I feel I will try my hardest to do the full 10 days now!
THE END!
Sorry this was sooo long if you managed to read it all.
