Here's my secret Achilles' heel: sugar. Sugar is one of the most insidious chemicals that is hidden in so many processed foods...and I find that not only do I have a caffeine addiction that I am still working to break, but I also have a sugar addiction.
Since I've been on this cleanse (Join The Lifeit Detox 28 Days Raw Food Cleanse), I've done well by avoiding all forms of meat, cheese, etc.
But over the last few days, I've had very little sleep because I've been so busy...and I have found myself purchasing chocolate, eating candy, and today I actually ate a cookie!
The cookie was good but it is not worth my health...I don't want to reverse all the progress that I have made on this cleanse...for me I feel that in order to stick to this, it's going to have to be all or nothing.
I'm not going to be able to maintain a healthy body by having an occasional cookie, or a chocolate bar, or a piece of chicken. I feel that if I do that, before I know it I'll be back to my old eating habits.
But it's only been two weeks and I'm still having cravings...I bought that cookie in a Harry's Farmers Market down here and I was really hungry...the salad bar was so tempting...they had soup and food and I wanted some. I grabbed the cookie because I felt it would do the least damage...I really wanted some chicken or some fish!
I managed to abstain...it was tough. I'm here to tell you that this cleanse isn't easy, but my desire for a healthy body is greater than my desire for some fried chicken.
