The Vikid Fast - Day 10 of 20!
On Curves and Chinese Feelings
On Curves
Well we’ve reached the half way point, an inflection and now the real question is whether my progress will be parabolic or exponential, as I think anything linear is out of the question. Am I a Tom, Billy or Sean?
Feeling Chinese
In terms of developments there is not much to report. I’m losing weight steadily, for the most part, hunger doesn’t play a big role, though I do miss the rituals of food. These days when I am upset or out of sorts, I can’t go to my usual bag of insanely spicy corn crisps, so yum, or sneak down to the local Chinese and gorge on the savory delights.
Instead I try to just be calm… but to be fair the evening was a little bit of a struggle, though I finally slept well. The sleep improvement has been the best part of this process by far. I sleep like a baby!
The whole evening comprised of a sense of loss. Nothing major, I could handle it but the feelings came none the less. Feelings of the loss of ritual or you could call it the food addiction trying to reestablish itself.
And that’s what I am learning about feelings (and thoughts). They come and go, the main trick is not to get too embroiled in them. You try and locate the feeling in your body and when you find it, you just try and be. Nothing more. You can breath through it. Don’t try and get rid of it or philosophize about it. Just watch it as detached as you can be without denying it.
Easier to say than do, and once you do… easier to do than say!
That’s the paradox of reality folks,
Have a love day!
