I am now in day 10 of my Isagenix cleanse and renourish program. I have sort of held off posting because I was afraid I had so much to say it would just be a rambling mess but it is time to dump all these thoughts and clear my mind.
According to my scale I am down 6 lbs. This is nothing short of a miracle for me. I have not successfully lost 6 pounds in 6 years. I can honestly say I have never really tried. I have planned to but never succeeded at following through with a plan. That used to make me really think bad about myself. The problem really always came down to eating habits. My body responds pretty well to exercise but I finally learned that results come mostly from nutrition and since I had horrendous eating habits I would never get results. Again, feeling bad about myself for poor food choices.
Then comes Isagenix. What a miracle for me. I will give credit to God here because I prayed about this and I feel Isagenix was a Godsend to me. It was what I needed when I needed it. Isagenix has released me from the vicious cycle of poor eating habits. I have no cravings for the bad food. I am not hungry. When I am hungry I do not get shaky from low blood sugar. A piece of fruit or some almonds takes the edge off and I don't drive to the nearest fast food place to feel satisfied. That is the biggie. Now it is clear to me how our bodies are addicted to the really bad food and thus the cravings. Not being able to make better choices is somewhat physiological and then psychological. With the sugar addiction and cravings it is near impossible to walk into a Chik-fil-a and order a side salad and fruit cup. I am amazed to say I can now do that.
I am remaining cautiously optimistic though. I still feel nervous about the days and weeks to come and how I will handle things. For example, my husband called today and said we were invited to some friends house Friday night for a fish fry and general hanging out. This is a situation where we would hang out and drink a bottle of red wine while watching the sun go down. Hmmm... Will have to see how that goes. I am still a little unsure of being in that type of situation. Ideally, if not in the middle of the 30 day cleanse, a glass of wine should be fine. But would it stop there? Since I am in the middle of the cleanse I will decline the wine for sure and probably bring a salad to share.
So for now I will hold back on declaring myself the "Isagenix poster girl" and still take it one day at a time.
