After few failed attempts I finally found
the strengths to start a new prolonged Dry Fast. I managed my refeeding process very poorly last week after completing my 6 days with no food and no water. In my defense I have to say that I broke my Dry Fast as planned, drinking Coconut Water, Bone Broth and I had 2 soups and 2 mud puddings to go easy with my
digestive system. Even Coconut water
was giving me diarrhea so I couldn’t
eat anything solid anyway.
Unfortunately the long weekend out of the country came by and all my good intentions were out of the window, sabotaged
also by my man and his food obsession.
I started to eat whatever I wanted
from the menus, without not even thinking that my metabolism was too slow
to manage all that food. My boyfriend started also to ask me if I wanted an ice-cream,
a chocolate bar or anything sweet every
five minutes! It was exhausting,
he knew I didn’t want to fall back into my
dirty habits, but this didn’t stop him to keep on buying me junk food in any occasion. At some point
I felt he was doing it in purpose so
I can gain weight and eat more than
him, so he wouldn’t feel guilty with
his food pleasures.
Although I broke my Dry Fast on Wednesday morning, I felt that I was still detoxing on Saturday and partially also Sunday.
I had lots of BMs, due also to the pudding I guess but I certainly noticed
a difference. Still today, my digestive tract is efficient, and I’m eating very bad in the past few days – just
to mention yesterday I had a big Toblerone with crunchy almonds, a full bag of praline Pecans, 2 double
OH!Henry and 2 Hershey white
chocolate big bars, not to mention 4 McDonalds
English Muffin sandwiches and a wrap,
oh I also had some Coconut Water and my mud pudding at the end of the day. I know
- I am ashamed of myself.
Today I was thinking that it’s been months since I didn’t go to a store to
do grocery, since last time I cooked something for myself, like a
salad or one of my favourite Raw Vegan
sauces. I’m always struggling to stay away
from food and then I see my man and I’m off
the wagon again. I don’t want to
stay on diet forever, I want a healthy relationship
with food and, although I believe keeping Fasting
as part of my life, it’s not easy doing a prolonged
Fast, days feel like weeks, weeks feel like months when not eating or drinking anything. Yesterday I even
thought of breaking up with my
boyfriend, because his way of sabotaging my efforts on losing
weight and stay away from sugar. I
know he means well but he’s not stupid, he should understand that
buying me chocolate bars is only damaging
me, not making me happy. In the car
eating all those chocolate bars, I was sad
and happy at the same time, because I could see on my body already, those few
days of eating so much what had done, my metabolism was too slow
to handle.
If you Dry
Fast for a prolonged period of
time, remember your body will take at
least 7/10 days to get back to normal,
don’t eat too much of anything, or
you’ll regret it – as I did.
