So the whole hormone thing has continued to be an issue but even still I have had pretty good self control. I got a bag of dove chocolates to appease my craving and just one hit the spot perfectly. I'm not a big candy eater so having small portion candy around isn't a problem for me. Now, if we were talking icecream the story would be different.
Yestersday I walked to a library and then on to a friends house which was more than an hour walk. That night I caved and had some gouda cheese and a few crackers(totally improper food combining). Night time still seems to be the hardest part of the day for me to resist temptation and really I think it's just a left over habit from when I was working the late shift and not getting home until 10pm.
I'm trying to decide when to end the cleanse. I knew there would be weight loss but what I was really trying to do was get myself to a place where I was feeling good enough to be able to stick to the proper food combing. I think I have regained my desire to feed my body the way I know best to.
I have this mantra that I created for myself:
My body is a temple
I worship it by eating and drinking
Only that which is beneficial
When thinking of eating something not good for me I try to think whether it's worth it or not. Is the bad thing really so good that it's worth not following the mantra. This thought has actually helped me say no to a LOT of crap.
If anyone reads this journal I encourage them to try it.
