Well after only 2 weeks of eliminating Sugar and watching my diet very closely I blew up! Badly! I just had a MASSIVE binge (A LOT of ice cream, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a huge muffin). I finally felt like *maybe* I was experiencing some die off as I came down with a bad cold with a fever and chills and a lot of sneezing, I haven't been sick in quite some time now. Now I feel like I ruined all that discipline, not only do I feel completely sick to my stomach and want to lie down and vomit for a half an hour but I feel extremely guilty and ashamed as well. Has anyone fallen off the wagon like this wait, jumped with reckless abandon is more like it? How far did I set myself back and what do I do now?

Also, how do I know if the cold I have is actually just a cold or die off. It started off in Wednesday as a terrible sore throat, on thursday my head became congested and now it's in my chest, coughing, congestion and so on... I shouldn't take anything right?

Miserably yours,
