11/23/2014 4:35:31 PM | HI everyone. Hope you are doing great this week and those of you who are not, I feel you! This has not been the best week for me symptom-wise but in the interest of accountability, I have once again had sugars. My friends are telling me its not that bad of failures and that I should just post my meals on forum for feedback. I do actually keep a food and symptom diary (since I read a post about it and began protocol). I can’t believe I have set myself behind as I have, I am now beginning week 11 on the protocol and week 7 of my MMS. I am at 10 drops MMS with no headaches, nausea or vomiting as of yet. Feeling pretty clear headed. I am not entirely sure how I actually got to 10? I think I am supposed to be at 7. I cut out brown rice and quinoa meals for the last 2 weeks. This week I am having a crazy number of itchy pimple “bites” similar to the onset so even though I may have no adverse reactions, I am staying at 10 drops the entire week. I sincerely hope all these bites will not become lesions. Please pray for me that they do not, that I can overcome these sugars too!! Thank you so much for your words of encouragement!!! Thank you so very much!! I am so glad to have you strong people in my corner. Caroline, that sermon was so great! It was right on time and exactly what I needed to hear, Praise God! I appreciate the time you took more than once trying to post it. That is soo kind! You are right, I know He is my comforter, I need to go to him more in those hard craving times but unsure how to. What do you do to care for the lesions? Please email me (Mel has my email?) I hope these pimple “bites” will not all become lesions but ugh, I just don’t know… Mary, thank you so much for your words of wisdom. I am glad you are slightly ahead of me in this protocol and we are in it together. I am going to try meal planning more. I been just coming to the site or looking up gf,sf, and df recipes. The clothing is coming together. I only have a certain set of "treatment" clothes. Everything else is in storage. What I did to get off the nicotine and also the alcohol was take it ONE DAY AT A TIME, but I feel like almost every day is a damn failure with the sugar free quitting. Freeman threw away my cigarettes. I eased off it very slowly. I had small victories quitting. I dont know what a small victory would look like with the sugar. I cant seem to go two full days without it. One hour? One snack meal? I DO run a little on the anxious side and lately very much on the depressed side. Every night as the crawling increases, my hope decreases and I feel suicidal when it comes some days. I tried not to be hard on myself if I smoked or drank and I would just say “OK try again the next day” but I DON’T HAVE THAT LIBERTY with this illness!! It’s hurting me and I FEEL it - daily. I keep remembering when I was first beginning the protocol and the crawling was only at night and sometimes NO nights at all at night, Praise God. I was on the same protocol based diet as now, but with a lot more brown rice and quinoa - alot more praying to be able to get some sleep. :( Peter, PLEASE keep asking God to grow my faith. I am not getting through this with Him the way I should be and def not WITHOUT Him. I am not SERVING HIS WILL the way I should be, illness or not. This illness is too serious and the itchy bites are increasing (my friend read the forums tho thinks it could just be the increased MMS and not the sugar types I am eating. He says LEAVE IT TO GOD W/ MY HEALING – NOT MY FOOD/MESS UPS) I do keep a food/symptom diary since this began. What do YOU think? What I see is my inconsistency flaw showing up and it’s the last thing I need with this condition!! What if my mess ups are training this organism to get sugar wherever whenever it can?! Or my MMS becomes ineffective on me because of the way I am doing this? This is what I have been eating in the last couple weeks.
