The new phone makes my recent pictures horribly grey.
I really do hate doing before and afters. These are more during my journey nearly 18 months ago. My weight hadn’t altered in all that time. This was probably my only month long and final long term fast.
Maybe only 2 week long ones, two two week fasts and then this one which was completly unplanned.
Sometimes in life your just mentally ready for something.
But by gum a month fast is a whole new practice.
Such deep and reflective days. I’ve felt completely separate and sometimes completely connected to the world and environment around me.
A complete rollercoaster of emotions. So much processing of my past, relationships, work and diagnosis.
Eight days of clear headed, energised living that I’m so grateful to have had.
I’m going to do my final weigh before the end of the week. I haven’t completed my refeed but I am 12 days in so I expect this is where my body will remain until I gain definition and strength.
My chronic fatigue is back. But I had a break from it which was promising.
Chronic pain is greatly reduced, with thanks to the fast and Bowen Therapy.
I indulged my body during my fast, Bowen each week or two massages a week. Yoga classes every other day, gentle yoga or meditation on the opposite days. Lots of sitting and letting thoughts come and pass.
I’ve felt like the observer.
My next steps…
I’m joining a 6 week gut health programme which is designed to slowly build a healthy gut microbe.
I’ll pop back in six weeks to post some of the meals and some hopefully more confident finish pictures.
I need to maintain where I am now.
Still battling some food cravings and under eating. But this is a reprogramming journey I don’t expect to get it right instantly.
Thankyou all for your support during this month long fast i couldn’t have done it without your input when ever I flapped 
🤦
Veg veg veg veg veg veggies!!!
