Re: Day 3 of 14

hi, WY. .... Can you support me to start a fast? I am desperate to get my health back. To be free from the chronic brain fog/lethargy/sense of fatigue/depression/anxiety/desire to eat uncontrollably which ALWAYS is cured when I fast. Right now, as a project for the immediate term, I would like to fast for a small but substantial time. At least a week. I think I am gradually getting my mind into the willingness to do this. I've gained the willingness to do just greens/other fresh lowcaloric raw vegetables in a day. I am in a mode of doing this now... but I really need to take the next step and start a fast and I am almost ready . Just posting to sort of affirm this and reach out.

My goal is really to make the life choice to stick to a "living food" diet -- i.e., raw sprouts... this is simply what MY body needs in life. (I know myself and DO NOT want advice about that.) But the willingness to do this and the self-awareness necessary to do it have come very slowly. But I also sometimes think that just a little support and affirmation can bring me to the state where I need to be.
... I have a lot of healing to accomplish and know that a couple of crucial, long healing fasts will be necessary to set me on the path. This has all been a lifelong project for me. I am on raw foods only now and have been for a few months after a terrible relapse over the summer on processed foods ... Prior to that I hd been on raw foods only for a little over 2 years. You might think that raw food diet was sufficient but I NEED TO BE HEARD: IT IS NOT... ONLY FASTING IS SUFFICIENT SOMETIMES. ... I just get sensitive sometimes when people are dismissive after hearing I am on all raw foods. It is important, yeah, but it isn't NEARLY enough to relieve my HORRIBLE suffering. ....I know my needs and know what TO do, just need support to DO IT. My diet may not match that of others' and I may need to be a lot stricter than others but this is just me, because I am really really sensitive. Some people are. ... so standard advice doesn't help or apply. ... Anyway, I am just taking the risk of putting all this out there, acknowledging how frustrated I am and sound, and acknowledging that you may not be the one to give the support I need! Just writing on the off chance. And to try to start my fasting. Regards, Powerray
