Day TWELVE

Weight fluctuated and almost a pound back up. There was no BLT – no bite, lick or taste – but there was a lot of water that I drank. I actually don’t care. I think the sadness of me is weighing down the scale. I’m just continuing, it will drop again. Hoping that my pounding headaches which I’ve had since Tricky’s death and all the grief will fade away, don’t want to take anymore Advil.

Yesterday the ordered WALDEN FARM products arrived: Chocolate Dip, Marshmallow Dip, Strawberry Spread and Apricot Spread. Opened and tasted all except the Strawberry Spread. Geez is that stuff icky sweet. Sucralose, I get it, but how about just the half of it? It overpowers all other tastes. Not sure if I’ll manage to each the Marshmallow Dip. The Chocolate Dip might be interesting to use with/in a coffee and I’m hoping that the Apricot Spread in the yogurt will lose the artificial overtone.

Day ELEVEN

Back to 2 days veggies. I am past the halfway point. 12.4 pounds lost. Though once again I take todays numbers with a grain of salt. Slept badly with a lot of sweating, I think I lost a lot of water and I think this is in part the reason for todays low number. But below 140 pounds! Haven’t been that in years, many years. The beads to their magic. Currently I have to force myself to even eat the minimum, no appetite whatsoever. Fluctuating between being semi-okay to grief to numbness to some anger back to being semi-okay. The loss of Tricky is still overpowering all other feelings. Since it happened I have strong headaches from introversion and not even a walk eased it. Still using Advil to keep it at bay. Hoping to taper it off today.

First headache

Since starting the program this is the first headache building. Unfortunately I can not tell if it’s from the program or my usual migraine attack which I usually have 2 to 3 times a month. In general I do not take any painkillers but do use Maxalt against my migraines which constrains blood vessels and blood flow. I decided to try taking an Advil as it has been noted that mild headaches can occur during the detox part of the program and that then a mild, over the counter painkiller usually takes care of it. I’ll avoid Maxalt as much as possible because usually that medication and empty stomach really don’t jive together.
