21 Day Cleanse – Day Twenty One

Well, it’s day 21. I could go for a martini or a margarita or a glass of wine, but I am going to wait. I licked the bowl after I baked the chocolate chip cookies. It was really good. I couldn’t resist. I’m going to keep quite a few of the foods I discovered in my diet in addition to a little meat and dairy and gluten here and there. I’m still working on keeping the vegetable intake up. I feel a lot stronger mentally because of the things I experienced during this challenge. I’ve reevaluated my relationship with food more than I ever thought I would. I’ve had to look at more of the things I feel because I wasn’t able to just coast on autopilot, with food or anything else. I really respect those vegans who follow the diet out of respect for the environment or out of love for animals, but I won’t be joining their ranks. Maybe I’ll have eggs for breakfast or something.
