This post references the post entitled „Trust your mind, body, and soul.” In my previous text, I wrote that I admire people who trust their bodies.
While writing the „Trust your mind, body, and soul” text, I did not fully feel and know what it actually means to trust my body. I knew that some people (e.g., yogis) knew their bodies very well and that they somehow were able to listen to their inner voice. Still, I did not know how to do it. Today, while writing the current text (it was on my 37th birthday, that is on the 29th of March, 2022), thanks to intermittent fasting and taking cold showers, I know what it means to be close to my body, listen to it, and believe in it.
The truth is that before I started doing intermittent fasting in December 2020, I sometimes weighed even 85 kg (~187 pounds).
Months after doing intermittent fasting, my weight stabilized below 75 kilograms (~165 pounds). The lowest point I reached was 71 kg (~157 pounds). I forgot to write I am 178 cm (~70 inches) tall. Undoubtedly, freezing temperatures helped me to break my record. Why do I write about all these things? Because I have a comparison between being fat and slim. Remember, my Dear Friend, that in 2011 I weighed 99 kg (~218 pounds).
While being slim, I „feel” myself. I can hear my inner voice. I can somehow listen to what my body talks to me.
When I was fat, I did not perceive and sensed processes in my organism. I felt worse. I had less energy. My mind was working less efficiently. I slept worse (I did not know I could sleep better!). Today, I can say that I admire myself because I genuinely trust my body, and I feel it like never before. I have no doubts that exposing my body to cold temperatures helped me with all these issues.
