In March of 2010, I decided to do something different for my health. I needed to lose some extra, extra pounds. I decided I would commit to a detox. There must be hundreds of detox programs out there, but there was a program provided that I found on a website I stalked like a chip after some dip. For me, this site leads in natural health and telling it like it is. I might not agree with everything I've read or even like some of the statements but that doesn't make the statements untrue. Anyway, I digress.
I went on the 21-day detox program discussed on the http://www.dherbs.com/ website by Djehuty Ma'at-ra. [Note: I think Djehuty must be one of the first people that I encountered who talked about health and our thoughts - you know, the psychological aspects.] Anyway....
One of the expectations or desired outcomes in completing this program was not only a body that has been cleansed of all the horrible foods and toxins, but also to stay with good eating habits for a lifetime (a lifestyle change / transition of sorts).
When I was on this detox, about 10 or 15 days in, my period came on and it felt like, well - nothing! This was a great thing. The flow of my menstrual cycle was light and only lasted for 3 days. Whoa and wow! How ya like me now? I even lost some weight.
I felt at peace. I had improved clarity and felt alert and wonderful and...free. But alas, somewhere between the 21st day and the 42nd, I started going back to some of my old eating habits little by little.
What the heck? So sad.... I've been dipping and dodging out of healthy eating ever since. But don't say I didn't tell you that love food and that I'm stubborn. But also, don't forget I told you that when you slip up - get up and try to do better and pick up the pieces.
Have you changed bad eating habits for the good? How did you do it? How did you stick with your game plan?
