1. Need to lose all this baby weight, because really how long are you allowed to call it baby weight?
2. I have been diagnosed with really bad arthritis and nothing seems to help but this diet says it will. Worth a shot just for that!
3. It is summer and EVERYTHING is so fresh and tastes so good.
4 and the final why, We are now living where it is so hot and drinking gallons of H2O just isn't enough for me or the kids. Yes I am taking the kids on this journey with me, and the husband as well.
The first thing I did was sign up for this amazing FREE 7 day detox with Raw Divas. This has been one of the most helpful sites I have ever used for anything. They have just about every single question already answered for you and everything is so very easy to find.
Day 1 was the day for fasting. I did really well with the no eating but what just about killed me was not drinking my morning coffee......I am so very addicted to caffeine. So the next day I cheated and had my morning coffee but did everything else like I was suppose to.
Now let me tell you a little bit about my fight with arthritis. It is one of the biggest battles I have come up against in my life. It is so painful and has stopped life for me many days. I take medicines but they don't really help and most of it makes me so drowsy that I can't take it until bedtime anyways. I have 4 little one ages 6, 5, 3, and 2. They do not allow for drowsy moments in life. Every morning for the past year I will wake up in the morning with baseball gloves for hands. Ever try and bend your fingers while you had on a brand new glove on? Next to impossible. Well that is the way of life for me. Started to think it was just normal.
Day 2 I wake up to notice WOW I can move my fingers!
Skip to day 4..........I cheated. I ate food from Taco Bell. Just let me add a note here about Taco Bell. It is YUCKA! So not even worth the calories or the money it took to buy it.
Day 5 is a very sad depressing day for me. I can no longer move my fingers and I am in so much pain. Everywhere hurts and I just want to crawl back into bed and cry. I really didn't notice how bad it really was until I went 2ish days with feeling so good and waking up to not as much pain and swelling. It is sad how food really does matter. Well it is sad for a person that just loves loves not so good for you food. Up until I ate the tacos I was at a 7 pound weight lose! Stepped on the scales on day 5 and I was back up 4 pounds. That added to my sadness. So for the next 2 days I think of nothing but seeing food in a new light.
I am now off the detox and it really was life changing. I know 7 days and life is changed forever. Food tastes different now. The good for you food and the not so good for you food. The fruits and veggie took on a new life and taste so amazing. The bad food really does taste some what bad. WOW! I never thought I would be a person that would say that. I would watch the shows like Biggest Loser and see people put this really good fast food burger and fries and say okay go! They would spit it out and say O my goodness that is so gross! I would be like yeah right what ever they are just putting on a show. Well.....they aren't! I am telling you it is life changing and not for the bad.
