There are consequences of (ahem) overeating. While we are enjoying the good savory food and wanting more, we don't think of what will happen to us because of it. I say, "we" because I know I'm not alone in this.
While I was off this wonderful fast, I gained back the weight I'd lost. I felt sluggish again. My energy level dropped. I just had a general miserable feeling. But worst of all, I spent the night in a hospital fearful of an impending heart attack. I was angry at myself the entire time I lay in that hospital bed thinking of the things I couldn't do because of this ridiculous trip to the ER and overnight "observation" stay there.
The monetary cost was high, too. I mean, all of those extra meals bought was an added cost. Talk about cost - take a trip to the ER. Even though we have insurance, it doesn't pay everything. That li'l ER trip could have paid for a trip to say, Branson. Now, THAT cost is something I could have felt good about.
These things are just a snapshop of the consequences of my straying off the path of fasting. But, I'm back on again, going on the road to better health.
Now I know why you have been so 'quiet'....Wondering how you have been. Your story reminds me of me girl. You may remember that 6 years ago I was rushed by ambulance twice within two weeks. That cost me close to 100 hundred dollars! Plus just last year on my birthday I was rushed by ambulance again because I thought I was dying of a heart attack (this time it wasn't because of food, just me dreaming I was having a heart attack which made me have a panic attack which woke me up from my sleep)..The first time though was because I ATE sooooooooooooooooooo much...
