Refeeding in Gothenburg after 21 days waterfast

Brake (Unterwesser) - Gothenburg - Varberg
This would be my third time now traveling to Gothenburg. It seems that Gothenburg is starting to become my home. After starting to eat for 4 days with a very discipline refeeding with watery fruit in Brake, Germany, I traveled back to Gothenburg to reunite with Mats. Fruits in Sweden are definitely so much better than Germany, so I'm glad to be back here.

Coming back to Sweden, my craving for tasty food took over me, so I ended up having delicious tasty salty food for the rest of the 5 days in Sweden. Then ended up having a bloated face and legs, apparently because I was having too much sodium which my body was not prepared for. Lesson learnt!!!

So I stopped having salt and replaced it with lemon and yet, my craving still took over me which made me eat so much, more than my body can take. I made a mistake of having too much acid in my stomach, which I ended up throwing up all night. Again, lesson learnt!!!

After the experience I had, I really learnt this time. So I had a watermelon fast for the next three days and that healed the balloon looking face and legs, as well as my poor stomach.

So far, from the experience of waterfasting, I realized how easy it was to waterfast and how hard it was to break it. Refeeding is definitely one of the toughest thing to do in my life.
