Blog: My Water Fast - 2008
Bleh. Feeling in a crappy mood and hoping maybe writing some of it down will help a little. My Feb. fast ended on Day 9...I broke it all wrong, and I feel like crap. On top of that, since I broke fast (6 days ago) all I want to do is eat cooked food and stuff that is just not good for me (salty, etc.) - the antithesis of my raw diet. I am feeling horribly guilty and confused and wondering where my will and ambition went. It has affected my sleep and mood, and general mental state.
I think one of the main reasons I "needed" to break this fast earlier than I planned has to do with two main things. One is the nagging hunger feeling. Unlike my January fast, it did not go away after a few days...it seemed I just got more and more jonesing for food of any kind. Also, I was horribly dizzy about five days in...this did not happen one bit during my first fast.
So, based on the above, I have made the novice conclusion that I was not ready to fast so soon after the last one...maybe I am just not healthy enough to do it? Keeping that in mind, I am trying to load up on nutrient-rich foods and supplements for a while, in the attempt to maybe be a bit more conditioned to fast longer in March. That is the plan.
On a plus note, since I am eating again, I am able to start my iodine supplement. I went to see my shrink last week who completely shot down my iodine supplementation and basically told me I am wasting my time and money. Instead of being completely pissed off about it, I instead had a very strong sense of him being uninformed and basically sounding completely closed minded and pretty arrogant. I may have to consider looking around for a doctor who can admit to not knowing all the answers. It is tough when you are uninsured and basically have to accept services from anyone who will extend them on a sliding scale, which is the position I am in at the moment.
Well, I think that is it for February. I think I may just hibernate for a little while, try my best to eat raw, wait for the dehydrator that is on backorder to come into stock, keep scrubbing the hell out of the non-organic veggies I buy since I am on a budget and dream about March and things beginning to melt a little bit.
peace, kozzz

First of all, just forgive yourself...so what, you ate some cooked food and couldn't go 100% raw..ease into the raw lifestyle more slowly...and who says you have to be 100% raw to be healthy...what feels good to you? 60% raw?...70%? Just make good choices. Try incorporating green smoothies (use blender) into your diet. Easy way to get fruits and vegetables in the body...blend fruit (banana's, apples, pears etc with green leafy vegetables (collards, kale, romaine lettuce, spinach etc)
.
My opinion of shrinks is not printable...most docs/shrinks will discourage what they don't understand and good nutrition beyond the basics..they probably don't understand...Learn EFT (www.emofree.com) or reiki or Chi Quong or some form of energy healing to clear the "forest"...they will deliver much better results
Best to you..

Kozzz,
I agree with IAmdacat about your eating raw. Do what feels good for you!
Also, as far as eating organic or non organic...in my experience, I do not eat organic, mostly, occasionally I do BUT what I do is to have God *whatever you call creative source* to bless and restore my food to its highest nutritional & vibrational value and that my body only accept the nutrients and vibration. That my body release the non nutrients. I have no doubt in my mind that this restores my food nutritional, without paying the extra money for the food.
Have an Awe-filled day, week forward!
Peace,
Beth
