Day 23


We woke up at 7, simultaneously. Barry made his usual breakfast (coffee & toasted bread with Nutella), I took a shower, cleaned my tongue, and claimed some assistance with body butter... ;-) Later, I tackled my sage tea & orange juice, as well as I already prepared a smoothie for sleeping kids (who were unconscious until noon).

I need to share with you that the past two days were quite tough on me - I thought I'd crack and restart eating. I'm almost never hungry, but I miss eating and chewing sooooo much... you can't even imagine. Yes, it might not be OK that I cook for Berry (and eventual guests), but I do have the impression that by cooking & serving meals, I feed at least my eyes, as well as keep myself occupied. Berry offered to undergo the same regime for the rest of my cure... I feel flattered but I can't say "please" or similar, as I don't feel like this would help me, nor ceasing cooking for him. Well, not at present at least. And I was thinking about whether the goal of this cure would be reached or not; and whether to get a thyroid ultrasound sooner; and... I don't know how I'll manage to cope within the reaming days of my fasting cure, but I hope I will.
