I'm a real person.

Hi guys. Day 7, I suppose things are going good. Though some weakness, and shortness of breath, I'm feeling good, and have this strange energy.
That being said, I am also under a VERY high amount of stress. I am trying very hard to be true to my fast, and keep my anxiety down, but it keeps threatening to overwhelm me. Though I hate to comment, it saddens me that every time I come on this forum, there is one huge thread or another just full of negativity. I hesitate, but I suppose I will put in my thoughts - just this once. All this negative energy is very hurtful to everyone, and I am wondering who is going to stand up, walk away, and stop taking the bait first. You are all still going at it. Please, I know there is a debate forum, if you must, take it there. As I have said before, you cannot reason with unreasonable people. I could really use some support right now; my whole life is about to turn upside down, and all this squabbling is only making me feel worse. Sometimes it's best not to let your emotions drag you around like a puppet. It's quite simple I think: Just STOP posting/replying to posts of this sort. It takes two argue, and in this case, there is even more. If everyone walks away, who is that one person standing in the middle going to have left to argue with? I suppose if life were not so crazy right now, I may have said nothing at all, but, I have gotten at least something out of me. I truly mean this when I say it: That is all I will say of the situation. This is a Water Fasting SUPPORT forum, and I will be here supporting, and reaching out for support. I hope you can all remember that, and do likewise. Blessed be.

Conflicts begin with threads such as the one you just started. This message should be attached to a thread that was already in conflict, instead of opening another can of worms.
Stop opening threads that you will get some people agreeing to and some people disagreeing too and you will stop the conflict. It's that simple. We are all real people by the way.

actually, i don't think motherweary's posts (like so many recently) was at all designed to incite conflict. i think it was very genuine.
but, i guess, maybe, to people that seek confrontation, there might be something there...
peace!

I agree lulu - I thought it was a nice post. I was just pointing out what the cause of the recent conflict is.

hey, i'm with you too! you are absolutely right!
and, in my opinion, those 'agree'/'disagree' voting buttons have no place whatsoever on curezone: not in Support Forums , nor on those cwazy, scary Debate Forums .
(although i have to confess to having used them in the past - hmmm - but from now on, one of my policies will be to not use those stoopid buttons...)

This is a reply to # 1,289,149Thank you for your comments Loosie. I hope I did not offend you by the "I'm a real person" statement. It was meant as two things. The first being that during my first fast, almost the entire time, I felt out of body, like I was in a dream, watching myself. This fast is a completely different feeling. I feel like a real person in comparison to my first fast. The second reason is a little personal. I was actually posting how my fast was going, and how my life is at the moment. I was seeking support, and since the posts have saddened me, they have affected me. Perhaps you are right, I should have kept my feelings to myself, and perhaps a different day I would have. Like I said, my whole world is turning upside down. I am really sorry if I ever said anything that hurt your feelings, or angered you, and if you ever need any support while fasting, please, let me know, and I will only be too glad to help you. Blessed be.

No you shouldn't keep your feelings to yourself. All I meant is that ... when everything goes quiet on the forum and a new day begins ... a new thread is opened and it begins again. I didn't think you shouldn't have opened the thread, I was just explaining that that's how the arguing starts. It was just a human nature comment.
Humans have short attention spans. Things can be easily forgotten if people are not reminded.
Good luck with your fast. I am always interesting in reading your posts, especially when I first joined and read about your previous fast. Also, particularly the "shortness of breath" part. I get that too and it scares me but I feel better because I know it's not just me that gets it!

This is a reply to # 1,289,149Motherweary did't say anything bad. She just told us how she FELT in this situation. I totally agree with her!
Conflict can be started with anything. People who want to start the conflict ALWAYS find ways to start it even by exaggerating some things. I am also VERY tired of the situation we have overhere. It drains me in a way. Instead of reading positive and inspiring messages which would help me to be motivated during my fast I just see mainly negativism. Being negative doen't help in life. It makes situation worse. And doesnt matter how gifted u are that negative energy eventually could kill u slowly but surely! POSITIVENESS CURES PEOPLE. People feel it, it makes them happy. It brings them HOPE..... I (!) believe in it:)
PLEASE lets stop this 'poisoned' environment. It doen't cure anyone.
THANK YOU.

This is a reply to # 1,289,480Yeah:))...
Anyway, Raine, how is ur fasting going on so far? I didnt here from u for some time (may be I missed some of ur posts here?):))
I am ok. Day 7 is about to be completed. I started my fast at midnight (yeah, I know, I ate late:/) on 24th. So tonight it wil be 7 day. Initially I was planning to go till the morning of the next day but I am thinking of finish it in several hh. Tomm I am going to Glasgow for the weekend so I wil not have a chance to juice. So I will have my juice today, and then 2 different juices in the morning with 1 hour interval and then take one glass of juice with me - then fruits:)
By some reason I didnt loose much weight this time. I guess only 4-5 pounds. I tried my jeans and they sit perfectly (in my last fast they were very loose at the end). I had similar symptoms as during my first fast: the area under my ribs and above belly button was sore from time to time (problematic stomach before my fast). I did not have much weakness:)
I would like to ask you and others (including Chris, if possible). When I finished my 10 day Water Fast I was told not to eat concentrated protein up till day 7-8. This time I have had 7 day being just on water. So when I can have avocado (on 3d day?), yogurt (3-4th day), and meat/nuts (still on day 7-8??). I CAN not eat meat up till day 10 or so but what about nuts or sea food? Thanks for ur answers!:)
Reine, are u still drinking water or having juices sometimes? It would have been interesting to know:)

This is a reply to # 1,289,594Nadia - doing straight water right now. I last ate Saturday evening so I'm on Day 6. I was planning to do 1 week on water then 1 week on juice and alternate like that until the end of the year, but to be honest, I've felt so good on this Water Fast that I feel like carrying on. The fact that Steve is on Day 22 helps motivate me!
Glad to hear you've done well this time around!

I thought the forum was full of nice comments today and was going fine. Until the singing. But other than that. All is well!

This is a reply to # 1,289,143hello motherweary!
what a lovely post! i couldn't agree more, i don't understand what's going on here right now... i do know that i miss fonty though :(
i also loved what sacristia said in a recent post:
>> It is always hard for me to deal with critisim especially during a fast, because all my defenses for the mental and emotional part of me are down and repairing themselves and reseting themselves. What I hear sometimes during a fast can hurt or harm me. I failed my last fast a couple weeks ago, because I got bummed out due to a comment made to me here on this website. I can only imagine how other feel when someone gets a bit too critical during their path on fasting.
Please for the sake of others, refrain from sharp critical comments that hurt more then lift a person up during their struggle with their fast. Words can hurt very deeply at times. <<
that was definitely true for me when i was fasting - and dealing with my family was just about all i could do. i didn't post much during my fasts because i wasn't emotionally able to deal with any potential negative posts. it takes great strength and self-belief to fast and there are times when some of those things waver.
i'm not fasting right now (well, i'm on day 3 of a yummy Watermelon juice fast and trying Iodine supplementation, but ya know...) but i do try and check in and offer support wherever i can. i fasted for health reasons, not for weightloss, so i tend to only respond to those ones. i haven't been very active though because, like you, i don't like what's been happening here.
but i do want to say that: i think your reasons for fasting - to be healthy when you have another child - are amazing. i love reading your posts and i loved the way you said you are 'feeling like the whole universe is whispering in your ear, and you can't hear quite what it is, but you get the feeling that it is something big'.
i'm very proud of you: you are listening and soon you will hear ;)
be well, be happy
good luck!

This is a reply to # 1,289,153Thank you very much Lulu, your last words touched me greatly, and brought me to tears. I think maybe I'm a wreck right now. I'll be ok though. I'm always ok. I just thought that you should know that what you said meant a great deal to me. Blessed be.
