[QUOTE="Finsky, post: 1142602, member: 269388"] Day 3 going on.. Last night I hit the 'wall'..though it wasn't bad at all. It was expected though appeared later that I though. Then again..I always do get hungry moment in the evening...seem that I have internal body clock that sounds hunger alarm during certain hours and there is nothing I can do to turn that off:rolleyes:. During my 'wall' I was little light headed, felt weak and cold..nothing drastic. Blood sugars are dropping down now...FINALLY! I woke up with 3.6 and normally that would have meant hypo..but I was feeling fine! Just little light headed so I decided to 'ride it off' and test bloods every half hour to see what happens...didn't want to start correcting it if not necessary. And it worked, within first hour , numbers came up again into 4.5. I had one correction doze of meds yesterday...but as my bloods are that little bit lower today, I'm hoping that I'm off from them totally for now on. I keep noticing some 'curious' things with my body. During last fasting session my skin wrinkled quite a lot. This time no issues as such.. yesterday I noticed small area on neck that had started to go 'prune'..I immediately drank some broth and made it extra salty. And hey presto...few hours later that skin area was back into normal again!..AND curiously I had small rash coming on too..AGAIN..on same area than during last fasting session..now that has gone too! I'm little surprised how much more salt I need to take to keep myself feeling well...real eye opener! My body is really signalling to me when something needs correcting...it is just down to me to able to read those signs. I've just progressed into 'feel good zone'..and long that may last too. This feeling makes last couple of days uncomfortable moments all worth it. You can almost feel energy flooding into brain ..it is like warm liquid spreading into muscles and brain. Little while ago I just sat down with eyes closed and enjoyed the moment....WHAT A DRUG! :happy: So..that's my story so far. After slurping my variety of liquids down...even though tummy is feeling empty, I'm not hungry..only thing to cope with is the feeling of wanting to eat..holding back the feeling of liking taste of foods...not real hunger. But I feel like I can go out and able to do some gardening today! Must dash on while weather allows it..:D [/QUOTE]
