I did not rest as much as I should have during my 10-day fast. And today I am exhausted. Mostly I think I am a stubborn Scot. My reddish hair and Highland ancestry are to blame.

Rest is needed to heal the body. That is my goal to heal the body and mind. So why didn’t I do this? Because I’m resisting my path. Once again my thoughts of being busy overtook me. Part of it was so my food addiction did not drive me to eat. Business distracts me from the eating habit. Part of it was the overwhelming desire to prove myself. That I am not just a sick individual.

Ended the fast last night with a warm cup of broth. It went down well. Today I had 400g of watermelon for breakfast. Another 400g for lunch. It tasted sweet and I enjoyed it. An hour later it was giving me diarrhea. Good diuretic.

I also had 200g of cooked potato for dinner.

Blood sugars have bee around 8-9 mmol/l (144-162 mg/dl). I took about 2.5 units of humalog yesterday. So needed some Tresiba today. Starting with 0.5 units.
