end of Day 16.

I have not told most of my family about my Candida Cleanse, just quietly do my own thing. Twice now I have been out for lunch with my mom, and she has not noticed that I order my salads without any dressing, but pull a little container from my purse and add my own, homemade and compatible, dressing to the salads.

I have had coffee with my sister twice and she has not noticed that I add my own soy milk, also from a small container in my purse, to my coffee, rather than having a latte and topping it up with cream.

It is so simple to follow this program, and still be able to eat out and enjoy it and stay on the cleanse.

I cooked dinner tonight for Ted and daughter Bethany and they both really enjoyed the healthy food. Ted knows I am on this cleanse, but Beth just knows I am not eating sugar and dairy products. Cool.

I am still so amazed at how good I continue to feel each day and how I have absolutely no desire for sweets. I know I may sound obsessive about this, but for most of my life I have had such a strong sweet tooth, and those cravings seem to have taken over my thoughts for sooooo long, that this is heaven!

Yesterday while hanging out with my sister, sketching down by the river, she suggested that we go to Dairy Queen for an ice cream treat when we were done. It was so easy to just say that I am trying to stay away from sugar these days. She accepted that, and I didn't even feel a little pang, or experience any wishful thinking or anything.. it was so easy to say no thankyou.

YEAH!! I love this!!!!
