Hi guys,
just completed a 7 day water fast last week, it was my deepest/best detox, I really enjoyed it, didnt have any harsh physical symptoms except for the occasional headache and light headedness, but i definately felt like I was cleaning out. I felt i detoxed more emotionally than anything else.
Anyway, Ive been feeling really really emotional after the whole detox I mean, im teary, finding it hard to focus on ANY thing, e.t.c I dont know whats wrong with me.
When I broke the fast, I felt like my body wanted to fast some more but i had all this food/ recipes in the house i wanted to try out. I could easily have continued as food cravings/hunger wasnt the issue, my mind wanted food but not my body.
.I just felt like I was going into uncharted territory and was a little frightened of what the detox might bring up and ive been fasting/feasting majority of this year so i decided to take a break.
My body has become extremely sensitive after this fast, i mean I get gassy/ bloated if I have a green smoothie with a spicy salad. or If I snack between meals. my digestion is in upheaval because although I have been about 95% raw, Ive been eating late/staying up late/ comfort eating . I just dont feel good physically and emotionally.
Is it my frame of mind affecting my body? or I dont know,.. I think i want to fast some more,.. but for fear of my food in the fridge going off, Ill go on a green smoothie feast/ fruit fast until I use everything up and then I'll be on juice for a few days , and then the ultimate- Water!
I just cant be bothered eating now, if this is the result of it. I felt sooo light and elated and happy and peaceful on my fast, and I want to go back to that feeling. Anyone else ever had the same experience?
