The Drivel Thread

Day 16 of fasting: I'm feeling good, but I can't walk up long uphill blocks fast or I have to stop to catch my breath for two minutes, as happened yesterday in front of two mental health workers. An expert on fasting, Alan Goldhamer, says to rest while on a prolonged fast, so, point taken. Thursday at midnight I begin to eat slowly and lightly. I'm very eager. Very, very eager. I want plain whole raw food only. So many vegetables, and some nuts and seeds, and grapefruit, maybe some banana, apple and orange. I want to eat so strongly, but the desire isn't coming from my stomach, but rather, my mouth. It wants to feel the texture of lettuce, for instance.

Knock yer self out kiddo and eat the 4king
Lot 😛😛😛
 
I had a nap and dreamt I was walking with Morrissey, and he started singing, and I wrapped my hand around his arm, and he stopped singing, and I said "You stopped singing!", and I bit his upper lip gently, and kissed him a few times. I'm not describing the dream in full, because it's impossible to put into words, but my late dog was there after the kiss, and he'd been practicing for some show, and the binder his exercise info was in had blood on it. There were other animals in the dream too, before Moz came along. All sorts of animals all frolicking together.
 
I finished reading The Pleasure Trap, and it says that all animal products are carcinogenic, and even coffee is. It promotes water fasting, and claims that salt, oil, and sugar are to be avoided, and whole plant foods are ideal.
 
congratulations, it's not easy to go that long! of course it's infinitely easier to fast when you have f*** all to do all day and absolutely no social obligations and no one putting pressure on you to eat! have you lost much weight??
 
I think I've lost about 20 pounds, and I had plenty of pressure not to go through with it, including my psychiatrist who at first wondered if I was psychotic and needed to be in the psych ward. He ended up telling me that he believed I was making a sane decision, after a few appointments, and he had a chance to do some research about fasting.

That's not really the same thing, though. You're not having to turn down someone's birthday dinner or anything like that
 
I did have to go to a play where people were stuffing their faces with chips, but a birthday party would have been worse torture.
 
anyway, im eating pineapple coconut ice cream and drinking stella. i might try a fast on friday which will mean just having to say no to all my people when they get ideas about wanting to do something with me involving food.
