Half way through this cleanse. And if I can do this, anyone can do this. It's very simplistic and fun to just rely on the fact that the food we are eating is plain and simple. I told my kids that they can look forward to cupcakes at the end of the week if they don't complain about the food I'm making at home now. They seemed to stop bawking at the meals I've created like taco stir fried rice last night which everyone hated to all the mealy couscous I've been cramming down their throats all week. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, however I'm kinda liking the tunnel just fine.
I bought Mati a rice crispy treat at ninos today that I wasnt even remotely tempted to try. I'm so proud because I would normally eat 3/4 of the thing and give her scraps and instead I saved 1/2 of it for drews after school snack. And he loved it. So that was awesome feeling in control of the food and now having it have power over me by calling my name or making me think about it. That has never been the story of my life. I usually am tempted and give in whenever I'm facing chocolate or sweets. Now I have found the ability to turn the cheek.
