Tonight I had so many people comment on my skin, my eyes and apparently the fact that I am positively glowing! What a hoot when they find out I am on day 22 of the MC. Jaws drop and although it blows them away that someone has not taken in any food for this long, they see that this is indeed a very healthy thing to do for ones body. Or my body anyway...lol

After the meeting I wanted to go shopping for post cleanse supplies so off I went to Save on Foods as they have quite a good organic and health section. I have not shopped for groceries for some time now and really missed it.

The veggies and fruit were gorgeous, especially in comparison to the meat section which was all brownish red and dead! And boy oh boy a big price difference as well. Anyway I could only buy a peach and some strawberries from that section but realized how great it will be when I can shop for produce again.

The peach and strawberries have been squished up and are resting on my face as I type. I read that they are a natural facial cleanser because of the AHA (acids) and I just shook my head at the money I have spent on such things that were also full of chemicals. Sheesh! I also bought coconut oil for a moisturizer that is just heaven on my skin. It is cool how it goes from solid to oil like it does.

I continued on and bought lots of great products from steel cut oatmeal to carob chips to the tune of $94. I purchased lots of spices and took big smells of all of them. I got all the spices that are needed for Indian cooking...such vibrant colors and aromas. I also bought lavender oil to add to my bath water and a skin brush to help keep my skin in top condition. I can hardly wait to use it!

While paying for these treasures I was feeling so good about the decisions I have made and so proud of myself for doing the thing I have wanted to do for so long...take really good care of this space suit that my spirit is soaring through space in. In this short amount of time I look and feel soooo much better.

I am so happy tonight! I watched the people at my group eat all of these nicely made meat and egg sandwiches during the fellowship part of the meeting and I didn't want any of them. I am so into taking care of myself that my attitude isn't one of feeling deprived, it is one of loving the feeling of making good choices and all of what that means to me.

 I know the fella handing the sandwiches around has an eating disorder(it takes one to know one) and he is very overweight. It only made what I am doing more important to me because I know first hand the pain and suffering that comes from trying to fill "the void" with food and then living in the consequences of those choices. It is hard to be overweight in so many ways. My heart went out to him and he has a place in my prayers tonight.

I get my new fridge tomorrow morning and am very excited about starting fresh with a new fridge. It is uncanny, a new fridge for my new eating lifestyle. The Universe can really show up and support you when you are headed in the right direction! I am cleaning out the freezer in the morning and giving away my chicken breasts and whatever else is lurking in there. It will be a clean start all around.

It is 1:26 am in Vancouver and I really should head off to bed. I have drunk my tea and the coconut oil has soaked in so I am ready. For anyone who is trying to decide whether to take the step to take care of themselves better please, please give it a really good try. I am reaping huge rewards and I have only just begun. I can only imagine the wonderful things ahead as long as I keep doing what I am doing. I wish this for everyone.

Goodnight and God bless xoxoxoxo
