Anyway, my wife and I have been trying to go 100% RAW for the last few months. We swing from 10% to 90% from week to week. We see huge benefits and then we fall off the wagon. We have also started to learn some of the amazing triggers that we have for eating, and how it has been effecting our ability to do the RAW lifestyle.
For me, I found that hungry or not, I was finding a need to eat because that is what I always do at this time, or at this event etc. I found that I was going home each day my body had this NEED to eat something on the way home. I found that I would stop at the gas station and get some crap, and then hate the fact that I got it on my hour ride home. I would desire to toss it out, but since it was there, I would find myself just eating it. I also found that at the office it was just easier to go out with everyone else and eat the lunch with them. It is even sadder since my wife would pack me a lunch and I would ignore it to hang out with others.
So this all leads up to me talking with my wife about all our choices, and we choosing to take a massive step forward. We have decided to do a full 10 day detox fast. During this fast we only consume water with lemon or lime. We are starting this on Thursday at midnight and will run it for at LEAST 10 days. I know that during this time I am going to be VERY tempted and will have powerful hunger pains and needs. I am confident though at 422lbs I am more then able to support a few days of not eating, and allowing my system to reset.
I am not sure what type of physical activity that I will be coupling with this time right now. I know that I was to get up off my tush and walk each night or morning or something that I would reduce alot of the problems that I am having now. I really need to get up and get active in my life, or just roll over and die. Since I have a wife, and two pets to live for at this time the death roll is not really a option. So that means that I need to actually do something.
So please pray for my wife and I as we embark on this time of not only physical cleansing, but mental also. Pray that we would lean hard on GOD and his power to supply all our needs during this time. I have faith that he will always supply all that we need, and not just deliver us from the pain that we have at the moment.
God Bless,
David
