day 15 - weird stuff going on!
hello everybody!
here i am, day 15! i was originally going to break my fast today, but i'm taking the great advice i've gotten from this forum (and i'm also listening to my body) and both are saying that i'm NOT ready to break yet. i'm going to go 20-21 days for sure, and then see how i feel.
some weird things are going on with my body.
1. yesterday, my tongue was totally pink and clear, and today it's coated again.
2. i've been relatively headache free this whole time, but ever since last night, i've had this intense headache... the pain is focussed on my entire forehead. it hurts to even have my hair even touch my forehead.
3. my eyelids are still super itchy and swollen with eczema, but it appears my lips have healed (though who knows... this is the second time during this fast that they've flared up and healed).
4. i just read the previous post about cravings and i too am experiencing OVERWHELMING cravings for foods i previously loved but haven't had in years... primarily cupcakes with that thick white icing and taco bell's 7-layer burrito. oh my god, it's a nightmare!
5. i'm super sensitive to sounds (especially annoying ones). it seems like EVERYTHING irritates me. my daughter's beautiful voice is sounding SO LOUD these days!
i feel like this fast is the toughest thing i've ever done... i've never had to draw on my will power to such an extent before!
yours truly,
a *frazzled* bella lucia
