thus far

So it's been some time since I've posted. Time just has a way of flying by.
     Well, let's see, the diet has been going fine. I've just been plugging away at it. I did cheat once (a couple weeks ago), I ate popcorn (that I could have) all by itself. I should have eaten it with 80% veggies.
     I had somehow tricked myself into thinking that I could do it without adverse effect(that maybe I was healed?). Well, the next day I felt the burning shooting across my boob. And not to mention the fact that when I fessed up to Todd we had "words" :).
     But it was actually pretty cool, I processed a lot about it and feel like I came out more committed than I had been before. And more determined to be able to walk out my healing with the Lord.
     I also read in the book that I need to be symptom free for three straight months in order to be off the diet. I called the BED people and really it's at your discretion(PHHHHEEW!!). It could be one more month, could be ten.....needless to say, I am praying that in three months I will be healed!
     It is so interesting doing this because I started to feel wonderful. With that I started working out again, going for walks, cleaning the house, cooking more creatively. Then bam!, I started cleansing again. Lots of wonderful symptoms popped up and I felt like dooky. It lasted about five days. I feel better now but it's just crazy all the layers of healing.
     I am encouraged though, when I can get in the right frame of mind. Sometimes It's hard to remember during the cleansing times that this is actually making me better. :)
       I've has some requests for what I've been eating, So here are some pics I've taken to share.
