Stress and Pain

Today is day 5 of my cleanse.  I just ate a Parmesan Basil Chicken salad with some sort of oil and vinegar dressing.  The salad probably receives a C+ as a grade for a healthy choice lunch.  Way better than a Chik-fil-a sandwich and french fries.  As I was driving to pick up this salad I was thinking about how stressed out I am from the pain of this back injury and how the stress is probably contributing to my pain.

I told my husband on the phone that it was a miracle I was not eating a bucket of ice cream and drinking a bottle of wine.  Instead, I was able to stay the course and get a salad.  That got me to thinking.  Even in the best of circumstances I rarely make the best choice.  I head into a restaurant with good intentions and always choose something bad.  Here I was experiencing awful circumstances and I had no desire to order something unhealthy.  I think that might mean that the program is working to reprogram my mind and body.  Is the addiction to the junk starting to subside?  Interesting and exciting.  I am hopeful.  Now if my back will heal I just might get to experience actually feeling great as a result of the Cleanse.
