DETOX

If you really know me, you know just how much I love food, wine and anything to do with chocolate! Well, prepare to be surprised! I'm doing a detox programme with my german flatmate Mika... This is my intake every day:
Morning: 3 cups of tea and a glass of orange juice
Lunch: 3 cups of tea and a lemon which you suck the juice out of
Dinner: 3 cups of tea and a spoon of honey
In between you drink lots and lots of water and you are also allowed some buttermilk if you are really hungry.

Crazy? Yes, maybe. I thought so to a beginning... But I have not eaten since 17.30 Sunday. That is now over 42 hours and I feel great! It might be hard to believe but I smell more intensely, I feel more intensely, I hear better and I feel better. I feel a tranquility I haven't experienced in a long time. I feel everything in my body and I feel empowered for ignoring some of the vital signals your body gives you. This is of course nothing you should try for a longer period of time, it is only to drive out all the waste in your body. There are special teas we drink according to time of day and day of the programme. One for your kidneys, your skin, your liver etc etc and IT IS NOT TO LOOSE WEIGHT as some people think. By putting your body in starvation mode, which we basically do, you do not loose weight instead I'll probably gain weight when I start eating again, which is on Thursday. If I make it that far.... I admit it really isn't easy. I'm proud of myself though. The last thing I thought I'd be able to do was give up food. I love food! But being able to resist All the temptations, I mean I'm in bloody France, in Paris, the temptations are scattered every two meters!

I miss!

The weird thing is that this pulled me out of my negative thoughts, I can't really explain the feeling but it's like I'm not only cleaning my body, I'm cleaning my pattern of thoughts. I'm not as tired as I've been the last couple of weeks, my skin is improving, I'm happier, my stomach is happier (when it's not screaming for food) and generally I can honestly say that I feel good. Still, I can't wait for Thursday and chocolate! =P
