A cleanse/a detox/a cleanse/ perspective

A few weeks ago, about three, I asked one of my dear and close and inspiring and supportive friends to join me on a cleanse. She introduced me to this cleanse that I just RUUUHAAAVE about to everyone.

The Quantum Wellness Cleanse.

I wanted to do the cleanse because I was entering into an emotionally volatile situation - my last month at my job. Since I'm an emotional eater, stress makes for an interesting meal plan.

The book is great, I highly recommend it. You avoid eating refined sugars, animal products, alcohol, gluten and caffeine. Basically, you're eating clean.

A week into the cleanse I enjoyed Labor Day and returned to the cleanse...and also a detox. I lowered my calories a significant amount (I do not recommend this).

A few nights ago I began reflecting on the cleanse/detox.

Things I like:

Good variety in healthy food
Portions
Wholesome ways of eating and losing weight....nothing drastic
Eating clean
And the elements of Weight Watchers!

I struggled returning to Weight Watchers recently...I knew how to trick the plan which doesn't work :) But I think that I have enough perspective and space to return. I'm not sure when i'll return to WW officially...gotta find a job or something first :). But I can use the things I've learned in these weeks and apply those to my life.

That's it.
