I reached a tipping point last night. I fudged and cheated and slacked off for the two plus weeks after Easter. I kept it together but just barely and it was making me very nervous. When I get nervous, I get stressed and then I start eating for comfort and I stop exercising and it is a surprisingly quick derailment. So I decided to keep a modified fast. It started last night at 9pm and will end tomorrow at 6pm. That will be just enough time for me to think things through again and for my body to get a needed rest. I have felt that my body was asking me to stop eating. Short and simple...just stop putting things in your mouth!
What is a modified fast? Just light liquids. I take in calories but they are liquids such as skim milk, coffee, tomato juice, fruit juice and lots of water. I get enough calories to keep my blood sugar even and to allow me to function well at work. Actually, as the day progresses, I have more and more energy. My clothes get less and less tight. My head is clear. I feel that I am back in control again. The derailment has stopped.
