December 6, 2010
It was lovely to get back to work and have some sort of routine, as I didn't have a routine at all while I was on vacation. Really the only thing I really focused on was what I was eating and the portions. It is funny on after a fast, the focus on food is different then what it was before hand. Before hand, my focus was more like “I am hungry, I want to eat this and this and this”. Now it is more like “Hmmmm, my body would really love a little mixture of this and that, BUT not too much” It is like my body reset it thinking and how it ingests food. It feels like my body needs a lot less then what I was eating in the past. Then of course, before I went on my fast, I realized how much I really was eating, calorie wise. I was eating way too much and not burning enough, as well as I was mixing proteins and starches and not eating enough veggies and fibers. I am much happier now then I was before October 31, 2010 when I started my first mini water fast. That was 20 pounds ago and 2 mini water fasts ago.
I might not be happy mentally or emotionally at this time, but my body is happier and healthier and that is what matters to me at the moment. The other parts will come eventually, as I learn and make other changes in my life that need to be made to help me achieve that.
Seriously thinking about doing another mini fast between December 12-21 (10 days) but I will have to see how my re-feeding is going and just watch to see what my body tells me to do. If not, I am sure that I will do another mini fast after the Christmas or at the beginning of the New Year. Until then I will continue on eating health and preparing my body for the next fast. LOL. Maybe I should set a bet with myself to see if I can get past Day 12 the next time I fast. I should say that I am rooting for Day 15!
As I was cooking my pasta for dinner, Phil asked me what my problem was. I told him I was lonely and wished that him and his son would come out into the living room. He wasn't happy about me saying that. He said he didn't understand why I was lonely. He said that I have plenty of hobbies and he hasn't spend a lot of time with me since July. I told him that was true, but it didn't mean that I still wasn't lonely. I started crying there there while I was stirring my pasta, as it was the only thing in the world, I was meant to do. He got frustrated with me or something and left the room. I wanted to say that I just try to keep myself busy, but it doesn't mean that I don't yearn to have the company of him and his son. I would love to play a couple board games with him. I can hear them playing Uno in the bedroom when I am stilling in the living room alone. Maybe I feel more lonely now, because I know when I get home from work, they do their own thing together and I do things alone.
I was making pasta, as I felt that I needed a little bit of starchy carbs, as I haven't had any yet. I must do all things in moderation for the health of my body. I am proud of myself that I have taken so good care of myself since I broke my fast. I guess one reason why I am keeping a detailed log is so that I can see in the future what I did day to day and give myself confidence when I read it again over time.
