I think "it" knows....

by Manderley on 12 Jun 2013, 09:04

It's my second fast of the week, my 4th since I began to change my way of eating and I think my body knows when a fast day is here and it loves it :cool: I mean, I usually eat in the morning, I can't stand to not have my stomach full when I am up and on fast days, nothing, I can't even finish my coffee :shock:

Does our body knows what is good for it (and nearly wrote "him") and does it put itself on repair mode, refusing to eat anything not good enough when it's fed up ? It's what it seems to me.

On feast days I don't eat as I did "before". I don't restrict myself, I just not crave the same things. I can't eat, for exemple, meals cooked with cream and butter or with a lot of oil. We had a raclette last weekend, I didn't eat a lot and I didn't feel weel after, only relieved by the fast day monday. It's a strange thing, really and I wonder if it will stay that way or if it will become more "normal".

One good news, I tried yesterday an old pair of jeans that I couldn't wear for years and it fit perfectly. Better still, I can put a pair of trousers a size lower, they fit, I can sit with them but, on the waist, it's not "nice", I don't know how to explain, the skin seems to overflow of the trousers so they will wait a bit more :grin:

Well, I look at my watch it says 9:25 and I think
"Oh God! I'm still alive."


'Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for The people on the edge of the night
And loves dares you to change our way of Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance, This is our last dance, This is ourselves

Your trouser problem is called a "muffin top". And that's what I am getting rid of - I hope. I too prefer fast days, but because I am in control. Yesterday was my third. It was brilliant. Good luck with your trousers.
