I just felt horrible yesterday. Absolutely horrible. If I drank water, it triggered more nausea, and even taking a shower triggered me to vomit again! It was horrible because I didn't bring up much but some water that I drank about a half an hour before, and then soon I was dry heaving with a little bit of bile coming out. It was horrible. I could hardly breathe after getting sick. I stood in the shower for like another 20 minutes as it just weakened me so much. After wards I could feel my intestines moving around. So I started having some uncomfortableness like I have had the last week or so. Much later, I ended up giving myself an enema, which had surprising results. I never thought there was that much gunk in my intestines. I felt much better after that.

I was a little stressed out because Phil was moving things around and he said he was getting ready to move out before Thanksgiving. I honestly didn't know to say. I was a little worried about him taking my tool set and my about 5 of my needle nose pliers (which is part of set) with him. He had already took my huge bottle of tums out of my bathroom without asking. I don't have a problem with him using them, but he could ask. He just takes, takes and takes, and never gives back. He doesn't replace the food that I have bought in the house, or the toilet paper or even the laundry soap, even though he does two loads a week compared to my one. Ugh! I am so torn about how I feel. I am very sad that he will be leaving but also relieved that my expenses will be lower once he is gone.

I actually slept very well last night. It was a very restful sleep, which I drempt a lot and had a hard time getting up in the morning.

I didn't drink hardly any water last night at all. Just a couple very slow sips because I was so afraid of getting nauseous again and gagging.

I had a couple little drinks of water at work, and immediately I felt nauseaous and had to calm myself down, to prevent myself from running to the bathroom and retching. Even now, I feel really nauseated. I am afraid what will happen if I don't drink any water at all. I am thinking about having a hot cup of tea, to see if I can keep that down. I know that it isn't water, but I am afraid what might happen if I don't intake any water at all.

I walked almost 3 miles yesterday, but I didn't do any exercises, as I was feeling achy/odd/ill. I walked 2.5 miles the day before. I love my pedometer. LOL

I hope I can get past this horrible nausea process and gagging/vomiting part of my water fast. I can't remember if I ever went through this before, as I have never really documented my past fasts as I am now. Maybe I did and maybe I didn't. Then again, maybe each fast is a little bit different as well.

If things do not improve in a couple days, I will have to take a break, and go on a brief juice fast, to lessen the detoxification symptoms, and then pick up on my water fast again. I will just have to see. I only have one more day to work before I am off work for 10 days ( Thanksgiving break-2 days and vacation -7 days, plus weekends)

I hope that I can hang on regarding this. I know that I am doing my body a huge favor if I do. I just hope I have the strengthen.
