Please read if you have read my blogs lately. Thank you.

Well, after only about 3 days with this diet I was feel so amazing and I kind of knew I would, but this diet which is so clean and for me NO EGGS and NO DAIRY and nothing processed just for, well it really should be 4-6 weeks, is so strict. I wished for good health ( no more joint pain, urinary problems, rash on my hand, fogginess), got it briefly, but what I realized early into the “going off plan because it is Easter time so it is ok” is that IT IS NOT OK TO CHEAT ON MYSELF. This is a detox and after a nibble of this and some of that, little of that which were not on plan, I felt some of the symptoms that were worse then before. So, I guess I have some food sensitivities. Any one, two or three of the sugar, flour and chocolate could have been the culprits…. plus there was some not so good food combining. Anyways, I realize that I have to be focussed and dedicated to my health just for the next month or so. After my discomfort yesterday, the diet does not seem so bad at all. I know what to do and I am going to do it. I was completely free of pain, but the the feed back (discomfort) my body gave me was much more informational. I have some things that I want to do and that is, I want to rid my body of these toxins and consequently these sensitivities. It is written in many places that these sensitivities will go away after a good cleaning so that one will likely be able to re-introduce them back sslloowwllyy…. So, I feel good. I feel empowered, I feel like I am on my road to health.

With how I am starting to see food, less about pleasure and more about healing and energy (more often, because I still have some tendencies towards food in emotional times), I think I could actually live very healthily and happily without dairy Well….. maybe a once a month treat of dark chocolate. That is just a secret date I feel I could not give up…hehe

I do not recommend this diet to anyone, unless you have health problems and see a person who is a specialist in such diets. In fact, if I could I would see the Naturopathic Doctor in West Vancouver, right now, but I will follow it and really work to get a good amount of calories in. Guidance I think is crucial. I will check out what is here in Saskatoon. I am going to try contacting him, though it does say that he only corresponds over the internet with clients that he has seen already. That is responsible and ethical. I guess the important thing is that I do not feel starved, which I do not. But then I have not been working out as hard lately either, so this helps. Anyways, I am off to work out a little and get my energy flowing.

So, now I am wishing for world peace and peace with in myself too ……… What, what would you wish for? *smiles*

Have a Happy Weekend everyone! *hugs*

P.S.: I am so close to being at peace with myself. Yesterday I nearly only freaked out once with someone, then I realized, all is well. Her words are not about me. Some people really do feel the need to fill in the quiet air with words. I realized that this person is struggling and SHE who hates self help books, David’s mom, actually wanted A New Earth after we talked (she about her personal stuff and neither of us agreeing with her ego, just listening), so we got it for her for an Easter present. She wanted to buy me an Eater Lily and I could not refuse. I was admiring them in the grocery store and at Walmart they were a quarter of the price. So cool of her. We could have left the little chocolate Easter eggs wrapped in tin foil in the store, but no. It was my fault as I said even though the chocolate is not even that great, they still remind me of the happy days of my childhood - eating lots of chocolate *rolls eyes* Anyways, I am done now. Diet starts up Monday officially, but I am having Eggs Benny that she is making tomorrow. I think she is like so many moms in that she loves through cooking. And since David and I were so excited about the breakfast and she was even more so to make it, I will let that be my one meal before Monday that is not on my plan. If I eat well in all other ways, it will all be good.
