....that's how i was eating. through the holidays and into the new year. i needed a way out of the tailspin and had been thinking about a cleanse even prior to the holidays. at first i was going to attempt a 21 day cleanse and quickly determined that was a recipe for failure. i sought out a friend to do a 7 day cleanse with me, for accountability, which ended up making all the difference.
we followed the 7 day detox miracle:
day 1-2: lemon water and herb tea
day 3-7: protein shakes, fruit, vegetables, wild rice, brown rice, miso soup....in a nut shell.
what was hard:
day 1-2 was BRUTAL! not having coffee was equally BRUTAL!
what i learned:
my days were revolving around eating.
the result:
i feel good. i have more energy. i'm drinking herb tea instead of snacking.
time to retox but hopefully i'll be wise about it!

sounds good all around, d. good for you for feeling good - and you'll need that extra energy to chase your hijas around town! :)
I just read an article today in US Weekly about cleanses. The article was saying they are not safe! Be careful!
I totally admire your will power. Like you said, when I diet I find myself only thinking about food and eventually begin granted myself "gifts of food" for all my hard work. Tailspins usually get worse for me with a diet. However, if it's a regiment you can keep up with, which it looks like you have, it's a great way to reboot your food choice thinking. Good job!
i am so impressed with you! way to go! i am so glad you are feeling better!
