Detox Days
Layla Anna Lee |
I’ll start with an admission – I have good genes.
I eat what I like, when I like and a lot of it. I don’t hit the gym and I almost always have dessert.
I’m no skinny mini but I’m not over weight either. I enjoy my food and not particularly terrified of the mirror.
But as time goes by I’m thinking my body won’t always be so forgiving and in the name of good health I decided try a detox. Juice, fresh drinks, green tea and fresh fruit only.
I have never tried a ‘diet’ before and I wanted to see not only how it could affect my body but how it would affect my mind.
Wow – this is a lot harder than I anticipated and worryingly addictive. The first thing I noticed when I cheated (that was inevitable) was the insane amount of guilt linked with the crime. I was so mad at myself for failing that I added an extra day of detox as a form of punishment. Like a detention.
Well day 3 of take 2 Detox and I’ve scrapped the detention. There’s no way I’m falling down the size zero hole of yoyo dieting and slimming. I’m trying to control my mind. Let’s be honest we could all do 3 or 4 days without eating and it’s not gonna kill us. It’s simply a matter of looking at the menu and making decisions.
Below was a well thought out decision.
A decision that consisted of freshly baked Cinnamon doughnuts with British strawberries dipped in chocolate sauce.
Be good to yourself.
