Psyche yourself - Lemon Cleanse

Today is the 6th day and I am realizing that food IS a major major part of everything we do. Eliminating food in the equation of a normal daily existence is one enormous challenge to overcome if one chooses to do this.

Almost every social and leisure activity involves food. Meeting up with friends . going out somewhere to hang out, almost always ends up or start with "let"s get a bite to eat" or "how bout a cup of coffee. "

Today I decided to go to the city (SF) and walk the piers . On my way a sudden fear upon realization that I would be bombarded with sights, sounds and smell of yummy offerings, suffused my whole being. What do I do? Where do I go ? Can I at least have black coffee ( judging from my 2nd day that's not an option)

I paused for a moment of self assurance and justification, I Calmed down, after all I have with me my "to go flask " of lemon cleanse juice . I should fear not and I thought, instead of sitting down at a rest or Starbucks, I'm on a bench blogging. My advise therefore to those wanting to take on this extreme approach to reboot your system, you will need to psyche yourself and be prepared for the what I call " little dis" minor dissapointments. and everything should be fine.



THE SMELL OF FOOD PERMEATES THIS AREA


LUCKILY I HAD MY JUICE WITH ME
