Wow! I did it. 9 days of pure torture... LOL! Okay seriously.. This was not easy but I come out of this a stronger person. I learned a lot about myself during the 9 days. I learned I don't need to eat as much food as I thought I did. I need to incorporate more fruit and veggies into my daily lifestyle.
And...
I can finish something that I start. I can't tell you how many times I attempted to do the detox, only to quit on day 1 or 2...
It was easier to quit than to keep going. I detoxed not only my body, but my mind and spirit as well. I think differently about food than I did 9 days ago. It's crazy. One day it just clicked. I realized that my life didn't have to revolve around food and dieting. I ate to live and not lived to eat. When your options are limited you realized the true purpose of eating. It's not to satifiy your tastes but to nurish your body. That's it.
I ate only to fuel my body because after a while everything started to taste the same. And when you're bored with what you're eating, you stop immediately when you're full.
Now that the options have opened up, I have to keep that same mindset. Oftentimes, in the past, I would eat past that full feeling only because the food tasted so good. I have to keep in touch with my body and stop eating when I'm full.
It takes a lot less food to fill me up now, so I'm hopeful that these next 3 weeks of "foundation" will be a breeze.
