I had to break the fast...

Yesterday my gums started bleeding, and I needed to stop my fast.  I needed to find out what was going on and stop the bleeding.  It is now six hours later (guestimate) and they are fine again.  I ate some stew cup from the NutraSystem lunches (they are small) and it stopped almost immediately!  So that was good.  Then 4 hours later they started up again, but a lot less than before.  So it would seem that I was doing something right!  I drank lemonade right before they bled again.  So I stopped the lemonade and went to straight to water with a very small amount of baking soda in it, to get rid of my bad breath.  That worked, no more bleeding.  Now it is almost time to eat again, and stew is in the menu.  

Thank God for handy small lunches from NutraSystem!!!

I'm feeling a lot better now, so that crisis is over.  In a week, I will probably get back to fasting again. I've got to get some more small meals, these won't last long.  And Stouffer's could make me gain weight.  

I've got to sign off for now.  More later!!!
