Today, marks the new beginning of my original goal....which was to be holistically well by summer.
candida diet+weight loss+8hrs sleep a night+naturopathic care+counseling+spiritual accountability+prayer= holistically healthy
Yes, I get tired of throwing up. Ya I don't like carrying extra weight. No, it's not fun feeling depressed, frustrated and crazy.....but more than any of these things, I truly desire to have the energy, time and strength to pursue my dreams and serve the people around me. Be a light, if you will. (will you?)
And so after a month of great successes, and even greater failures...I officially begin again. I'm starting from scratch to get this thing taken care of. But my focus now is to try and enjoy the process by getting creative with my time and resources. I found myself becoming a bit of a narcissist....obsessing in my head about food, my symptoms and health in general.
One of the most helpful ideas I took away from my visit at the Naturopathic Clinic was the thought of "re-establishing a healthy relationship with food and sleep".
I'm just trying to move forward. And the future will be filled with lots of soup, sleep and sanity.
Knock on wood (whatever that means).
I just started writing a paper today on Candida for my A & P III class. I added that I was following your blog in the midst of your battle. Hope you're having a good week! Anything new or insightful?
