Gimme a Salad or DIE!!!!!!

Rate this Entry
Well...I lasted 3 days on my feast! I broke it today with a Salad (left over from my kid's) lunch at 3:00... It was either eat that or bite the heads off my kids!!!

So, I chose to eat!!! I haven't had any nuts yet, though!!! I'm gonna just have a Coconut Smoothie for dinner and chill... I wanna meditate on why I just HAD to eat today, but I'm not. I'm just gonna accept that moment for what it was and go on.

Even if I continue to do the fast, I don't think I'm gonna post on the fasting thread anymore. I just feel like I'm letting them all down everytime I can't make my goal...

Anyway, I'm o.k... Not sure what I'm gonna do tomorrow... Hey, tomorrow's tomorrow, right?

    You are your worst critic! Just keep going forward and that is all that matters. It's when we "think" we've failed and then fail to get up that makes us a failure. It's a vicious circle that society likes to perpetuate. Maybe your feasts should not have a specific time limit. Just feast until your body tells you it's time to stop. Stop setting yourself up for "failure". You are great! I love all your wonderful posts and the encouragement you bring to this site!

    Thank you Imaquillen!!! I know you're right... I know why I'm so hard on myself... I'm just not quite where I wanna be yet and I frustrate myself when I see a way to get there, but I can't make it. I feel so nut heavy right now. Not a day goes by where I don't eat something with nuts in it! I just wanna let them go for a while...and, I do LOVE feasting... :)

    Great job on your 3 day feast!!!
    Don't they say each day fasting/feasting is like returning a month of healing to your body? Well!! Look at that 3 days = 3 months!!!
    Congratulations!!!!

    No way are you letting anyone down!! This isn't a competition, this is life! Don't beat yourself up, just brush yourself off and step into your next path. No guilt, no expectations, just walk...and sip on that coconut smoothie! You're a RAWK star!

    Congrats on the three days!! You know, if fasting is my goal I still post over there even though I may have a meal at night...I know where I want to be and the general vibe is helpful!!
    You disappoint not one soul!! Everyone applaudes accomplishments and helps you through the hard to the next step. That's one of the reasons I love it here so much!!
    You know, I ate last night too....but I still have a goal of fasting so I start again this morning!! ~blessings!

    Oh Renee!! I can only do a one day fast and I'm happy with that, because that's what I can do for now. Someday, I hope to do a three day fast!! You've taken such a huge leap to do a three day fast. I applaud you proudly!! You're my hero!!!
