What day are you on? I remember the first week as having the most food fantasies.
I am on day 37 and cook every day for my partner. Today I am making him chiles rellenos with brown rice, vegetable and cheese stuffing, home made fat free refries on the side.
Food really looks and smells great (even feels good!). Luckily I am not YEARRRRRNING for grub at this point, and continue to enjoy the feeling of being empty. Tomorrow I see my naturopath to evaluate and see if I will continue or break. I do look forward to returning to the world of food... some day...
I am really good at dealing with food. I simply remind myself that I am doing a wonderful cleanse and detox thing, and that it is my choice not to eat at this time. I know for a fact, the food will still be there when I am ready. And that's the thing -- I am in control!!
I look and feel like a new human being at this point. It has been so well worth the effort. No amount of eating, even the best and healthiest food, could have done what my body has done by removing the burden of food processing for a spell.
Well, off to roast those chiles! I love that smell!
Bon apetit eventually,
Somer
