Whatever happens, I’ve have accomplished a solid work.
Starting out on day 5, overall I am feeling strong. Fasting is always a mind-shift. You are supposed to eat. It is natural. It is normal. It is everyday. And yet, here I am day in day out having ‘dinner’ with my family with my splurge of San Pellagrino.
Odd doesn’t really describe it. You read about people who are ‘starving’ by not eating to the prescribed 3 full squares each day. And yet, what has that type of eating resulted in? Massive amounts of obesity.
A few years ago I learned that weight management is less a force of calories in calories out. I learned that being healthy is a prerequisite for losing weight. Instead of the tired aphorism of ‘lost weight to get healthy’ it is more accurate to say ‘get healthy to lose weight.’
What I’ve learned is that weight management is about the balancing act of hormones; more directly insulin, cortisol and a few important others (which I can’t recall at present). In any event, I remember during my first water fast feeling this overwhelming feeling of relief to truly believe that I was no longer held to the story of my genes. But rather I was able to modify, through epigenetic expression, how these genes showed up in my physiology.
I am not a slave to my genes.
I am free. I am able to heal my body by tapping in to its built-in capacities for healing.
