eeek a confession Bananas day 5

[Guest guest]

Hi Dobby,

 

This is not a catastrophic event. The only thing as bad as the end of the

world is the end of the world.

 

The most important thing now is to learn from this experience, as from any.

Part of that may have to do with carrying more fuel/food. And another part

may also be that one simply cannot plan for all possible contingencies.

Also, you have had the opportunity to experience the pizza with a relatively

clean set of taste buds and on a reasonably empty stomach. And you noticed

that you didn't enjoy either of these aspects of your experience. A learning

process.

 

Over time, as you restore your health, you'll find yourself feeling more

" balanced " , you'll be able to go for longer periods without food. In fact,

you'll CHOOSE to do so. Why? Because in a fundamental sense, health is about

rest. And when we rest our digestive system, we nurture ourselves. So we are

better off eating full-sized meals with full-sized " fasts " in between. The

human body is designed for fasting, that is part of our natural process of

eating. I realize you haven't reached this point yet ... that may take some

time, and that is fine and " normal " .

 

Now that you are back on track, just go forward from here. No penitence, no

guilt. The only thing you could possibly do " wrong " here is not learn ...

and clearly that is not the case. So all is " right " with you! :) (Just

playing with words a bit

 

Forward!

 

Best,

Elchanan

[Raw Food] eeek a confession Banans day 5

 

 

OK I had a set back.

 

I was doing soooo good on my banana fast......UNTIL...

 

I had to go to a work thing yesterday. I planned ahead and brought some

bananas to eat so I would behave myself.

 

Well a simple meeting turned into an all day tie up.

 

After we had been there for more than 3 hours, my banana energy started to

fade and I had already eaten my reserves. We were only gonna be there for 2

hours, and by hour 5 I was STARVING.

 

Well.....they sent out for food, with out saying anything.

 

They just kinda surprised us all and brought the food in.

 

Of coarse it was all crap...

But I was starving and nauseous and shaking at this point, so I really had

to eat.

 

So I did as little damage as I could with what they provided.

 

It was pizza....YIKES!

So I ate just one piece (picked all the meat and cheese off...lol)

But I couldn't go the rest of the afternoon with out food, and they wernt

gonna let us leave....

 

So my question is, do I have to start all over? Will this one fall back,

make my first 5 days for nothing? I am back on my bananas today and last

night, it was just the one piece of pizza.

 

So will my body be able to keep up with the one set back? I think in the

future, I will just need to carry around a portable cooler..LOL!!!!!

 

Sigh...LOL!

 

And yes...the pizza tasted like crap, and made me feel ill...
