I am stubborn. And I really love my food. And there are times when I really experience h-anger. The last 10 weeks I've been on the #bodyecology cleanse which means no dairy, grains, fruit, legumes, and any sugars even the unprocessed ones like honey- which I realize now I was quite addicted too. I am not a dieter as I just figure if I move my body what I put in will come out and try to focus on feeling good in my body, #embracemycurves rather than 'losing weight'. So the reason I wanted to do this was because I was feeling a bit lethargic and it was time for a full #internacleanse before summer. 😇😇but to be brutally honest- it was super hard. In that 2.5months I broke it about 5 times because there were times I couldn't make my food at home. I craved fruit or anything sweet sooo much--as it's fairly similar to the #candida diet and #cleansing the excess yeast from your system. And growing up as a #vegetarian- tofu and beans or lentils or even haloumi were my 'go to'. So cutting it all out was hard. But the positives were I felt so much more energy. I didn't crash throughout the day. I wasn't using my soydandy lattes with lots of honey to be my pick me ups anymore. So about 5 weeks in I had learnt so many more recipes as I had to be super creative with what I was cooking to actually create flavor. I started a #veggiepatch to use my own herbs for making sauces to spice things up. 🕉🕉I was hungry a lot more than I used to be because I didn't fill up as much on the light foods. It was different to my usual annual #juicecleanse I do as I didn't feel as spacey as I did on those. 🙏🙏🙏 So it was meant to go for three months. But yesterday I fainted. Totally unexpectedly when I was shopping for a new fridge(maybe it was something to do with the prices being higher than what I expected?lol) 💞the fainting may or may not have been linked to the cleanse. It's not the focus of me sharing the story. It is to Listen to my body no matter what:) 💞💞 So my ego and my stubborn mind wants to finish this 3 months because that is what I am 'meant' to do. But I surrendered🙏🙏 And yes I'm eating a GF DF veggies lasagne in this pic- but also some fries to truly treat myself! 😍
