Detox:Day Three:I Can See Again!

Well I’ve made it to day three. Day two brought the continuation of the headache from day one, only it attacked the left side of my head, causing me to drool in my sleep. Nowhere in the booklet does it state drooling as a side effect. If I would have known this I may have reconsidered detoxifying.

So today I only have a far off mild headache, but at least the waves of nausea have subsided. I really cannot believe how dependant my body is on sugar. I am, in fact, embarrassed by it. After this process is over I hope to be able to change the way I eat. The headaches and body pains I have suffered in the last 48 hours, to me, are the equivalent of having an elephant step on me and it is a pain I will not be soon forgetting.

The trouble I am having now is not craving everything on the ‘Foods to Avoid’ list. I hope I am not crazy when I say everyone has that little voice in their head that tries to convince them to do or eat things they shouldn’t. I’ll tell you what; if I was as clever and persuasive as the voice in my head I’d be supreme ruler of the universe.

The reaction my body has had to not having sugar has scared me. Changing anything about yourself is not easy and I am struggling every single minute of the day not to eat something I must avoid. My little voice tells me just one piece of this or that won’t hurt and that I can try harder tomorrow. I have actually been pacing back and forth in the crap flat arguing with myself. I finally had to go out for a walk to distract my thoughts. I greatly dislike anyone or anything having power over me and yet all along I have been letting it happen. The power it has over me ends now.
