Thursday
It was OK, I overslept and did not get to the gym - I did get to play soccer at night which was a lot of fun - we won the game!
Friday
Spent much of my time laying around being irritated at just about everthing - did not go to the gym, did not accomplish anything and watched my sons soccer team get beat 6-0. I don't know if it was the toxins being expelled from my body or what but it sure felt like a dark day.
Saturday
Woke up early for my sons soccer game at 8:00 am, they got soundly spanked 8-0 - it seemed like more. Still can't really find my mojo - feel extremely irritade and frustrated - just want to eat something to make it better. Spent a good part of the day looking into the refrigirator seeking something - I know this fasting thing will end, I know it can't be today though.
What a frustrating 3 days - my mind is really protecting it's territory and trying to break me, I can't let it win.

hey Joe, tell us how much you have lost? also try setting your mind on long term instead of getting out of the fast to go onto another diet, I set my mind on 100 days because I know I will need close to that amout to lose the weight I need to lose and also because last tome I set my mind to 40 days I did just fine untill about 3 days before and then just struggled through the last 3, same thing has happened on 1 and 2 week fasts that i have done quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteI relate the first parts of a fast as having the flu I just have to put up with being sick for a while and it will go away, also it is like a drug addict or alcholic who is struggling to quit but feels so sick and they know they will feel better if they just take one drink, I have to believe I am stronger than them the difference being at the end I have to eat again and I need to try and take responsibility for how I do that.
Joe my friend chose to be happy even though your sick and as far as the refridgerator, I get my food fix by cooking big meals I have never done before for the family and then doing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen while they eat, then I take the leftovers and give them to the homeless people who hang out near our office.
Keep the faith my brother.

Joe, 1 more thing, I know it's hard but you may need to cut down on some of the activity, what you are doing works well when you are eating a healty diet but fasting is a whole other ball game.
