Detox Diary: So long Ben, Jerry and (Pepsi) Max

So concludes the 6 day food frenzy. The last hurrah -- this time I really mean it. The countdown is over. It is officially "after the chagim" and my commitment to the program is about to commence. Sitting on my kitchen counter are lots of yummy new products like aloe vera juice, concentrated green herb supplements, coconut oil, quinoa, whole basmati rice and lots of veggies and fruits which are part of the plan. There is something called "vitalis" which sounds like if it doesn't help with my digestive system, I still might benefit from shiny hair. Oh, and the kicker (literally) is I get to conclude each day with a teaspoon of hemp oil. Yes, the hemp is from a popular mind altering plant. The naturopath says it tastes bad, but I am hoping that the potential buzz could make it worthwhile. My luck, it will just give me the munchies.

So it is time to say goodbye to some dear friends who have been with me on many journeys throughout the years. They have accompanied me during difficult times and been with me at many a celebration. But the time has come to say goodbye to Ben and Jerry and to (Pepsi) Max. You'll always be in my heart, but hopefully not in my digestive system.
