Re: I am eating myself sick, and I want to stop!
WOW! Thank you guys so so so much for this support! I stayed home from work today because I was so sick this morning from the binging again...and the first thing I did was check this forum and I am so thankful for all your support.
In answer to a couple of questions:
I don't weigh myself, but maybe I should? I Don't think I have put on significant weight at all, my clothes still continue to fall off me, but my stomach is very bloated-probablly from the overeating of fibre. I know fibre is good, but this is definately not the thing to binge on.
I have personally been enjoying the raw foods diet, and I have never had a major problem with avacados, and even nuts-especially pine nuts and almonds, and seeds, even while I followed wholeapproach.com diets. HOWEVER....
I do beleive I was craving for a traditional hot comfort meal with Protein, and sugars. Last night I finally made myself a bowl green lentils with cooked onion, heated garlic, ground corriander, and green chillies, and the over eating stopped. I felt very satisfied, unfortunately it was already too late...and this was more fibre to add to what I ate...as I suffered greatly this morning.
Yes I wonder about the candida thing also, as I know I could have fasted longer, then 19 days, so I know there is still some healing to be done. Meaning, even though I seemed to clear up from the candida, I still think I may have some still remainding, as I remember the naturopath I spoke to on my last day of fasting told me to stay away from the watermelon. But I did not(and it tasted sooo good!)
ANd the next day I had yeast traces. However, i have not had a problem with yeast or canddia since then so I assumed it was the "die off symptoms." And I began to beleive it may be gone all together...
I was using the wholeapproach website before the fast, also...and it did seem to work, I did not have over eating attacks at all on this, however, when I fasted I noticed alot more intensive healing then with Whole approach. So I wonder, if I should go from water fasting, to eating foods from the wholeapproach? The thing is, I eat mostly vegetarian foods, (I used to eat eggs)and now I don't eat eggs. But I suppose I could go back to eating eggs. So that is also a bit challenging for me to follow, knowing that wholeapproach, advocates the use of meat, and animal products. And I am not quite sure where I am at with my body.
I have began fasting again, to allow my stomach to heal from this craziness I have fed myself. I don't have an appetite anyways. And I will fast for about 3 days, unless my body wants to go further. If there is yeast die off symptoms, such as "healing threads" then I know that I was still feeding the candida.
It's really challenging, because I don't even have a naturopath I can talk to about this fasting, because she is very against fasting, and really was unsupportive, and freaked me out last time I spoke to her. So I feel like I am totally trying to figure out all this on my own, which is why I am so grateful for all your supports, because it helps to hear the many different things that helped all of you. Every body is different, and it's good to see the different methods that were used.
I really do appreciate it. And thank you for the links, I will look into all of them, and I will try to find the best system for body.
