Detoxing…

I was looking up ‘detoxing’ the other day on the internet, because of something ‘Cita had said about metals in our body. For some reason it got me into looking into different types of detoxing and many of them include taking things that require you to have stomach cramps and poop all the time.
As mentioned many times before, I have no poop problems, so the thought of pooping MORE, just sucked.

I was reading and reading about the things we need to get out of our system. Caffeine, Nicotine, Drugs….HELLO, all my favorite things.
It also talked about eating more fruit.
I’m guilty, I don’t eat fruit. I would LOVE to be a fruit eater, but I’m not.

So yesterday I run off to the store with high hopes of buying all the right things. I had ran out of coffee and Cigs the night before, so what a fantastic time to start cleaning up my body right?

I walked my ass right past the coffee isle and bought yogurt and fruit juices. THEN…right there…in a big display…shiny and singing…was my Coffee Mate Pumpkin Spice flavoring. I actually SKIPPED over to the display and sniffed the bottle.

AND this is where I think I have a problem. I make excuses…and this one was a doozy. “I’m going to buy this because it’s the only time of the season that you can. I’m going to get the smallest bag of coffee possible. Come on, I need to baby step my way to being a better person. I can’t just stop smoking, drinking coffee and then start pooping for 7 solid days! It’s unheard of!”

This morning I made a very small pot of coffee, ate a yogurt and had a tangerine (working my way up to a full orange) and then I poured half the coffee mate into my cup and drank it like it was sent from heaven above.

Why, why, WHY do people decide that right around Thanksgiving & Christmas it’s the time to diet?

Regardless of my weaknesses, I am going to stop drinking soda and drink water and juice instead. I’m adding the fruit part of the triangle to my diet.

Mango juice isn’t too bad. Sort of squirmy, but not too bad.
