my weight is now 57.5Kg, so it's still falling at the same rate that it was previously (about 1.5Kg per week). and whilst there's still some fat left on me, there's really not a lot at all anymore. it really has to hit bottom in another week or so. beyond that, my life has become insanely busy caring for my elderly parents. i'm not actually finding the time to eat regularly anymore. i only had 2 avocadoes yesterday. i now have the multi-vitamins that i ordered, so i can start taking them next monday (tomorrow). i did give some thought to persevering with the vitamin B12 alone, however, i think it's more important to cure this condition that necessarily waste time trying to discover the exact cause. i've read some fairly dire things about leaving it untreated. i am, however, beginning to doubt that it's just a vitamin B12 deficiency, as it's now a week since i started supplementing for vitamin B12 and i can't say that i've seen any significant improvement.

my weight is 68.5Kg. that's a gain of 11Kg in just one week. and there's a good reason for that. i've fallen completely out of the fruit tree over the last week, the reason being that i've been extremely stressed by both my parent's being in hospital at the moment and have been eating non-fruit comfort foods. i'm actually quite surprised at just how quickly the weight has gone back onto me. anyway, hopefully this week i'll be trying to keep to my fruit diet, at least that's my intent.

i was really quite tired when i wrote my last journal entry, hence why it lacks a little depth. my lapse has been quite interesting in many ways. firstly, nothing seems to taste quite as nice as i seem to remember. secondly, i really notice how floury everything tastes, even curry sauce. thirdly, how dry it is. fourthly, how bloated it makes me feel. and fifthly, how much more uncomfortable it is to pass stools. it'll probably take a couple of days for all the non-fruitarian food to pass completely through me. and, i rather imagine that's where most of the weight gain has come from - indigestible food in my gut. fortunately, my stress levels have come down a lot now, as it look like both my parents will be home from hospital fairly soon.

well, i've been struggling to get back into the fruit tree of late. i just don't have the necessary enthusiasm, it seems. i could kick myself, really. i've been much too ambitious in terms of being strictly fruitarian and i haven't paid enough attention to getting an adequately balanced diet. and now i'm starting to doubt my ability to do just that. so, at the moment being fruitarian is on hold until i get a bit of confidence back. sad but true!!!

today i was pondering the mystery of my itchy scritchy scratchy skin and it sort of struck me that it might be diabetes. my father is diabetic and i do take after him in many ways. so, it could be a genetic pre-disposition to not being able to metabolise sugars well. this could seriously threaten me ever getting back into the fruit tree again, should i happen to be correct. at the moment the multi-vitamin hasn't cured it, though it's early days for that, and nor has a liquid iron supplement. so, i'm currently thinking diabetes could well be a plausible explanation, especially as i've noticed certain symptoms that i appear to share with my father, such as rather puffy extremities. for example, my feet and calves have been particularly swollen of late.
