One thing that I meant to talk about at some point was the concept
of toxin intake, obviously one of the big ideas behind fasting is
that we are detoxing our bodies, stopping putting toxins in to allow
all the crap that has accumulated time to ooze out! Fasting is
stopping eating, I have also made a valiant effort to reduce the
amount of stuff I put on my skin as most modern toiletries are
petroleum based and it all simply gets absorbed into our system, I
have also avoided any medication, riding out the headaches and I'm
not taking any vitamins and minerals, as the delivery of these into
my system would defeat the whole process of fasting, namely giving my
system a rest from having to decide what goes where and just kick
back and get on with some more mundane tasks like eating old scar
tissue...
I am happy to report that my son Gideon has kindly offered to
support me on my fast this week, it is much appreciated and helps me
to stiffen my resolve to push on.
Today has been relatively hard, certain foods are starting to call
to me more frequently now, the hunger has subsided again but there
are cravings for sure. Naysayers and worry worts without fail tell me
that cravings are my body's way of telling me what I am lacking,
maybe so, but maybe it is just the final vestiges of habits trying to
assert themselves.
Energy has been a little lacking today, I feel better having had a
seriously hot bath (apparently helps toxin removal!) and will settle
early tonight.
