Revell - so many symptoms - I had to share!

[janem]

You have been so encouraging and supportive that I just had to share with you what has been happening in my body!! Last week I was sleeping - coma deep sleeping for 8-10 hours a day - would have been more but dh is my boss so I had to go to work!! I also had this very ugly stye in my eye - I'll spare the description! - And then by Thursday that all changed - I could not sleep - at all!! I got 3 hours Thursday night and 3 hours Friday night. - To keep myself occupied I made batches of raw cookies for Easter and quarts and quarts of raw icecream! By Saturday afternoon I still had a TON of energy but was fatigued and started to eat - and eat - and eat - the desserts I had made - ugh!! - I completely stopped all of the progress I had made in this detox! Sunday I woke up depressed and did not want to go out of the house - luckily it was Easter and dd comes first - so out we went! The mood swings that day were unbelievable!! - I was way down and up all day. Today I am back to green smoothies and feel like things will even out - I know this is a process but things are happening! I am disgusted that I overate on coconut and fats - but this is a new week! - just had to share with you!!

Whoops!! I left out the most important part - DUH!!! I had told you that I have stopped using antidepressants - the last time I stopped using them I got these very strong electrical impulses through my whole body - it was very strange and lasted a few days. Well - that did not happen this time - until last week! I had been off of them for 5 weeks and just last week I started getting the impulses - light at first and then very strong - they only last a second at most. I was delighted when I realized what was happening! - I so wish I did not ruin it by overeating!!

as my hubby says, "girl you fell off the wagon into a health food store!"

no shame in over indulging in raw... :P none at all!

I LOVE this...so true! I believe it was you, last week, who told me to stop worrying and enjoy the foods...which I did. And, I still felt leaner at the end of the week. Even after eating a whole spirulina pie the weekend before! ;)

Give yourself a break and appreciate that you're going thru some changes.

Congratulations! I know what you mean about withdrawing from antidepressants. I am finally free from them since I went RAW. The withdrawal symptoms are crazy!! Shocks, tipping over, nausea, dizziness..... And it stays in
our bodies for so long! I am glad you are free, too!!!!!!

Thanks everyone!!! I am hanging in there! Yesterday I was still in a fog from the overeating and I kept eating fruit - finally I had a green smoothie and - BAM!! I was awake!! A few hours late I had another one - wow! Too bad I love to chew so much - I feel so good drinking green drinks - but I have to eat - that is why I love raw - I love to eat!!
Thanks for the support about the antidepressants! I don't know that I will ever be free of them. I am brainwashed by the dr.s opinion that I "need" them - and at times I definately need something - but not that! They do stay in your system foe years - last week was proof - those shocks were the result of zoloft and I have not used zoloft for atleast 3 years!

People don't realize how insidious drugs are. They do stay in your system for years. The liver doesn't know what to do with them so it holds on to them as does the fatty tissue throughout our bodies.

I had the same thing with birth control pills. Was on them for 13 years straight until my liver hemorraged. (sp and I don't care)... took YEARS to get them out of my system.

I'm thinking, you just keep going on ~ Drink the GS's, continue to eat raw and you'll see an amazing difference in your attitude. I do.

Hugs to you,
