Well Valentines Day is over and I have a box full of chocolates in my fridge, a chocolate bar in my desk and a Valentine's baggie of peppermint patties in my eyesight as I write! My wonderful husband knows my weakness for chocolate covered strawberries and dark chocolate truffels - so that is what I got! Thank you love!! However, every year he gets a laugh when I complain that I made myself sick to my stomach because I had eaten most of the box of chocolates...in one day!! (sometimes in a few hours! HA!) It made me think of how crazy it is that food can overtake your sense of reasoning! I also find it interesting that food can make you have such internal conflict or conversations with yourself! "If I eat all of them now, then it will be over and I wont eat them all later", "I am only going to have one/day", "ok, only one more today, then one per day starting tomorrow", "Screw it - I will start back to clean eating next week". Does that sound familiar to anyone else?? If a food choice creates internal conflict - it is not a food that we should be consuming! Have you ever had an internal conflict about eating too much broccoli?
Things like surgar, carbohydrates, and fried foods are so toxic that the body literally becomes addicted to them. You feel like you can't live without them. The amazing thing about the detoxification program is that it wipes these cravings out. It rids your body of the NEED to have these toxic foods in your everyday diet. After you are finished with the cleanse you won't have these internal conversations about toxic foods. Can you imagine not even wanting candy or french fries or hot wings or breadsticks!! It happens - trust me! You will be craving salads, fruits, "clean" meals!!
Tonight is the first kick off seminar! We have 15 people ready to change their life!! Tomorrow we have another 15! We have 2 people in AZ detoxing and 4 others here in town that have already started! We have an update on Bill C. that started the detox 1 week ago - down 14 pounds!!!! Keep it up Bill!!
So to sign off I say "good bye chocolate"!! You will be missed over the next week but you will be a figment of my imagination after that!!

Seen this quote and you thought you would appreciate it.
ReplyDelete"Illness or disease is only Nature's warning that filth has accumulated in some portion or other of your body; and it would surely be the part of wisdom to allow Nature to remove the filth, instead of covering it up with the help of medicines" Mahatam Gandhi (1921).
