Day 27 - I think 18 y
Not much to report
I think today is day 27. Yesterday was so rough. I am doing much better now. I am still concerned that I will not do well when I begin eating again.
I am exhausted, but that’s because I have gotten little sleep due to some deadlines.
I so much cleaning to do! Yikes!
Anyway, there’s not much to report today. I am in my usual "Gotta get it done" mode to meet deadlines, and I tend to be pretty to the point in that mode.
Have a great day!

Lots of introspection & lot of withdrawal symptoms
I am having a tough time today. I am having serious cravings...almost like withdrawal symptoms. I feel shaky inside, and it’s like I ”know” they’ll stop as soon as I eat whatever I am craving. I don’t know if my addictions just finally snapped. It’s like they thought I was bluffing, and now they are realizing that I am not giving up. This is so tough. I really want pizza or fried chicken.
It could be that I am almost at 20lbs weight loss. I know for a fact that I am afraid that I will gain it all back as soon as I start eating again. I have no idea what kind of will power I will ... read more Day 25??? Can it be? 18 y
Obviously I am finally entering the "energy" phase...
Who would have ever thunk it? A compulsive eater addicted to sugar and would freak out at the sight of cake can actually go 25 DAYS without eating a morsel? Once again, only with God’s help.
I found out that my professor fasts! Rock on! There’re coming out of the woods I tell ya. But when I told her I was considering a raw diet, she said, "Gross." Maybe she didn’t understand what I meant by raw...maybe she did...hmmmm.
So I spent many hours at bookstores trying to find a non-complicated book for raw recipes, and I finally found on ... read more Day 23 18 y
detox, juicing, fast
The whites of my eyes are starting to lose the yellow shade. Yeah! Yesterday I fell asleep on the couch at 2:00 in the afternoon, and only woke up enough to walk to my bedroom. I finally woke up at 6am this morning. I guess I was tired...you think? That tends to happen after the semester has ended. Working and going to grad school full time really takes it out of you, and I finally had a chance to rest.
My weight started at 177.6lbs. I am now at 159.8lbs!!! It has been so long since I have seen the 150s in a very long time. I have lost 4 - 4.5 inches in my waist. Yeah!

I have had a breakthrough and some things to consider...
It's a woo-hoo! kind of day.
I never thought that I would make it this far.
I have had the most amazing breakthrough! When I now smell food, it is now just a smell like any other smell. It’s like smelling clean sheets, flowers, cut grass. I no longer smell it and have a physical reaction to it; my body does not physically throw a tamtrum screaming, "I want that!"
Also, when I see food, I only see it. I no longer have the physical reaction to it as well.
That was one of my goals: to break the bonds that food had on me. I am so excited.

This information is not a recommendation, prescription, etc. This is just info on what I am doing. Do not hold me accountable.
Thanks, Shane, for the encouragement. I will definitely try the green drink you suggested.
I am feeling much better today. Yesterday was rough, but I made it. Tomorrow is the 20. I know I haven’t said how long I am going to do this, but I don’t want to jinx myself.
So I went for another colonic, and it was really interesting. When she got a lot in, I got soooo nausiated. I asked her about that, and she said that it’s from the toxins being pushed around. As soon as the water was taken out, I felt great. She said it’s like water and mud. You shake it up and it goes all over the ... read more Day 18 18 y
This is a bad one...stupid clensing crises
Two more days, and I will hit the big 2-0! How is that possible? How could I have even pulled anything like this off. It is definitley with God’s help.
So I think I am going through a massive cleansing crisis. Last night I was super-sensitive, crying, irritable. I thought I might be going through PMS, but it seems too early for that. Then this morning I feel like I have the flu, and I realize this must be a crisis. My body aches, my throat hurts, I cannot stay awake. This one blind-sided me, because I was really feeling pretty good.

It was a salty kind of day...
Howdy everyone! It’s day 17. Three more days and I will my next mini-goal of 20 days. So far my absesses have subsided. I think I might actually be entering the rebuilding phase, which is when your body has finally gotten rid of pollutants and is now working on dead/dying cells and replacing them. My skin feels so soft! It feels like baby’s skin.
I am still having strange cravings. For example, this morning I had a taste for those little coctail weenies. ? Strange.
Sugardarling asked how much weight I have lost: ~14 lbs.& ... read more Day 15 18 y
Details on detox and big cleanse
Hello there. Day 15. My next mini-goal is day 20, which I think is on Thursday. I had an apple, orange, carrot, raspberry, and strawberry juice. Yum! It tasted like the flavor juice for a slushy/icee.
So there was quite a response to my big cleanse info, so I will give a little more info. For starters, yes, it is rather expensive. It’s along the same lines as a massage when it comes to cost. Normally, you do it more than once, because it is considered...um..."upkeep". It’s like brushing your teeth, but it’s definitely not y ... read more Day 14 - Week 2...woo-hoo! 18 y
Crazy things
More crazy things have been going on with my body. However, I will get into more detail this evening, because I am currently at work.
Anyway, I have noticed something about my body: If I skip my dinner juice and just drink water, I don’t lose anything - I have even gained 1/2 pound the next day! But so long as I have juice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, I lose between 1/2 - 1 pound a day. How interesting! I suppose my body is so shut down right now, that every little thing I do to it has such a high impact on it. As soon as I start drink ... read more Day 13 18 y
Not much to tell
There’s not much to report. I have tons to do and I am very exhausted. I made a juice drink for lunch, and I am questioning the aroma. It was so early this morning when I made it, and I am scared to think what I really put in it. I might not have been aware of the freshness of the fruits (or lack thereof). So I only drank a little.
I am super stressed and I want to go home.
I have been taking Now’s Fresh Green Black Walnut Wormwood Clove extract tonic to start the candida cleansing process. I have no idea if this stuff works, but every ... read more Day 12 18 y
The day after the big cleanse...you've been warned : )
So I had the big clean yesterday, and it was the wierdest thing I have ever experienced !!! It was so odd. The lady was super cool and she told me a lot about what happens if your colon is not clean. Turns out I have candida. *joy* BUT! At least I know so I can take care of it. I looked up all of the symptoms of candida, and those are the exact symptoms I have been complaining about to my regular doctor for 7-8 years now! Let’s see, how did they treat me? 1. Antidepressants 2. Get more sleep 3. You’re fine. I am going to a me ... read more Day 11 18 y
Feeling much better
I am feeling MUCH better today. I have tons to do and am so behind, but that’s my own fault. I am going to the big clean today and am nervous. I cannot eat or drink 3.5 hours beforehand, so my tummy’s rumbling.
I have lost about 11.5 lbs now. I admit it. I love the weight loss and would be super discouraged if I didn’t loose much.
By the way, I want to tell anyone who is fasting that has a spouse and/or children that I really respect you. I don’t see how anyone could do this while fixing other people’s food.
Oh! Yesterday all I could think about was what I would eat, which i ... read more Day 10 afternoon 18 y
Flu-like symptoms
Every now and then I feel flu-like symptoms. My head is cloudy, my neck aches, I have nausia. But then it goes away.
Unfortunately, I am suffering from a bad case of cravings along with being hungry every now and then. I really want to eat, but I know I cannot with everything that is going on in my body. I think the two-year-old mentality that my body has is fighting back. It’s throwing a tantrum.
I really look forward to the benefits of this fast. visit the page Day 10 18 y
Getting grumpier and grumpier
Yeah! Day 10! My third mini-goal. My next mini-goal is 14 days - 2 whole weeks. I am suprised to have support from people I would not have expected it from. It has helped me nonetheless.
I gained a half pound...how is that possible???
My ears hurt and I am getting depressed and irritable - both of which I read about. Does it make it easier that ”I have read about it”? Perhaps. At least I know that it is chemical, the toxins must have been released into my system. But it still feels crappy. I wish I could put a sign on my office door that reads, ”Don’t bother me”.

a little rough/a lot of pondering
This morning was kind of rough. Some things happen to my body that I choose not to share. Although I am up to a 10 lbs loss. My stomach is gurgling like crazy. My head is foggy and I am grumpy.
I am trying to get some veggies in, so I tried an apple/pear/strawberry/broccoli juice, and it was suprisingly good--if not great. I could not taste the broccoli whatsoever.
I want to thank babaha for the great info. I gave it a shot, and it was really wierd, but I did feel better. I have made an appointment to have a colonic cleansing. I figure if nutrients absorb in the intestings/co ... read more |
