Obviously, you knew that sugar had a hold on you and you didn't like it.
Some of you now realize how strong of a hold that was, depending on how hard this past week as been for you.
I want you to know that a few people didn't make it past day 2 and quit.
But you stuck to it. Now make that mean something.
I'd like to ask you to decide that this time your willingess to change will become a lifestyle.
I'd like for you to learn from this challenge and then impliment
into your daily life.
You have already have come this far. Do you want to go back?
Those cravings and withdrawal symptoms meant that your body was
getting rid of unwanted and unhealthy toxins. Think about that for a moment. Your body didn't like it and flushed it out.
Think how much better you'd feel if this was part of your daily habit for years and not just for 10 days.
Recognize sugar for what it truly is---something highly marketed to you since you were a child with the sole purpose of creating an addiction in your body in order to make money for the manufacturer. See it as the enemy of health.
Believe it or not, you have to power to start to re-train your brain.
To look at a donut, for example, with disgust and look at an apple or pear and crave it! It's time to take the reins away from the marketers & reverse their brainwashing tactics.
Decide that when these 10 days are over, you will not go back to those addictive habits you gave up. Choose instead to veiw it as
A new habit which is simply now part of your healthy lifestyle.
YOUR HEALTY RECIPES (I owe you a couple)
Dessert:
Greek Yogurt with strawberries, raw cacao powder & Hazelnuts
No directions are necessary. Enjoy. :-)

Baked Apples
Apples are delicious raw, but warming them takes the texture and flavor up a notch and makes for a quick and easy comfort food.
This will make you feel like you're cheating.
Core an apple and put it in a microwave-safe bowl or in the oven. Stuff the middle with any nuts of your choice and pour a few tablespoons of water over the dried fruit to soften it. (You can also add dried fruit, but be sure it doesn't include sulfer dioxide) Dust the apple with cinnamon. Cook the apple until tender, about 5 minutes, and let it stand for 5 additional minutes before digging in.
