Day 6

"If there was only one thing you should take out your diet-- it should be sugar. . . ."

I am a sugar addict.

I just had my food allergies done and guess what came up highest on the test: sugar.

Even fructose.

I loooooooove sugar. I'm not a candy girl, really. But, as the daughter of my father who has dessert after dinner and then a second dessert before he goes to bed (I don't know how the man is not obese), I like my sugar.

Some of my favorites:

1. Cookies and Cream ice cream WITH double stuffed Oreos crumbled into it. Oh my heavens, this might be heaven. I used to eat a bowl every night. No joke.

2. My mother's cinnamon rolls made from scratch. Ummmmm, yeahhhh....

3. SUGAR CEREAL-- especially Lucky Charms or Apple Jacks!!! Where your milk turns pink and your mouth is raw!!! Once in college I downed a box of Apple Jacks in less than 12 hours. I was studying for exams.

Why am I reminiscing? Because usually when I cleanse I go through some major withdrawals and cravings.

I have ZERO cravings. It's strange. I've been drinking obviously the nasty green drink (which is actually not tasting so nasty lately) and eating small salads and I'm FULL. Tonight I couldn't even eat dinner . . . my body must not have needed it.

This phenomenon is blowing me away! I mean, I am the girl who would eat 5 ice cream snicker bars and 6 bowls of cereal and I kid you not 12 Texas Roadhouse rolls smothered with butter where they bring you basket after basket after basket.

I am a girl who knows how to EAT. One of my past boyfriends was stunned when we went to iHop and ordered 3 huge waffles. I finished mine before he finished his and then I downed the third waffles BY MYSELF. He just put his fork down and laughed his head off.
