Yesterday was a rough day for me. I was on day 3 of detox and on an emotional ride I'm SO GLAD I'm not on anymore!
Today is day 4. My body is def. going through stuff (I'm sweating tons for example) but I have never felt better emotionally! I'm DOING IT! I'm eating what is good for my body. I'm listening to my body. My poor body took a LOT of abuse from me...and I'm glad that's over with.
Yesterday was a HUGE turning point in my life. I finally got sick and tired of living to please other people. I'm not saying I'm transfored (yet!) to the person I am behind the mask of abuse...but I'm on my way baby!
In a post I wrote I decided I was changing things...NOW! And I did...
What I've learned:
-Feed your body when it's hungry. Don't wait...always have food on hand.
-YOU matter. Just like everyone else does--so do you.
-Pleasure is OK! (My religion even encourages it!)
-It's ok to be happy--AND it's ok to be sad. In fact, it's ok to be ME whatever I feel at that moment.
-Sugar makes me SICK. Stay away from it!
-Life is amazing...and I have a LOT to be thankful for!
-If someone has an opinion and states it...I can disagree and that DOES NOT mean they will like me less (if they are a healthy individual they will like me more and appreciate my honesty!)
I could go on...but I'll stop here.
I am so thankful for these boards. I have grown so much here. We have a forum here where people can say what they feel and think and we'll love ya for it! I think it's very special. And I'm glad ot be part of such an awesome group!
Love,
Ruchie
P.S. I'm back! Invited or not
P.P.S. I want to thank Dalia for being my biggest support in giving up sugar. And I want to thank all of you for your kind words, e-mails, and love. You guys are just the best!
