Yesterday was a high pain day, and it was tempting to give up. I did get to the store to buy more coffee. My older daughter's supply disappeared with breakfast.

I have to disagree with you on fasting (if it is more than one day). Food is our 'fuel'. You wouldn't expect your car to run without gas, your lamp to light without electricity, or a horse to work in the field without his feed. It is WHAT you eat that matters. Avoid fats and unneeded sugar, eat a variety of veggies and drink plenty of fluids. You don't want to end in a hospital,do you?? I'll keep you in my prayers!

Fasting is not the evil we have been led to believe. In fact, new research has shown that ancient wisdom had it right. It is OK to fast, especially when some of us have much more stored "fuel" than we can use in a month. The longest recorded fast was both safe and effective for a man in Scotland: 385 days. I wrote more about fasting in another post, but there is so much more science to report about it.

Thanks, I'm better. It was hidden sugars that I have removed from my eating patterns.

Glad to hear it! Hidden ingredients can really wreak havoc.
