bwb, re: relapses -
I've been on-again, off-again 811rv for over a year now. I definitely feel better when following it fully, minus a few detox symptoms that always disappear quickly. It is true that after really trying this sort of diet for several weeks straight, no other foods taste as "right" anymore. I'm aware that when I eat something else, it's for some other reason - nostalgia, sedation, even self-hatred.
Steve: it seems you're getting a little more positive again, which is nice. It seemed like maybe you were psyching yourself out a bit there for a few days, speculating that the positives you had experienced were in your mind, but that the negatives were caused by the diet. I think this reveals one flaw in doing this sort of thing as a 30-day trial - you may be mentally (consciously or unconsciously) gearing up for it to end. If it were a longer commitment, you would possibly get a consultation with Roger Haeske or Doug Graham, or look back into others' longer-term experiences for some perspective. If you really do only have a week to go (and it sounds like you've already decided to not continue, even though the trial's not over yet), at least make the most of the last week. Enjoy all that's happening for the knowledge you are gaining, and maybe let go of labelling things as positive or negative.  |
