diet

Good morning all,
Not a good night for me last night.  We are having a heat wave here in southern ontario.  I would like to know if anyone has experienced only wanting to eat sugary things early in recovery?

My advice, eat what you want. Although you're getting some good clean time under your belt, your body is still recovering. Keep nourished, eat alot, and you'll feel better.  I couldn't eat until the evening of day 4, then suddenly I couldn't get enough. The more I ate, the better I felt. That all eventually got back to normal.

HD2C just reminded me of how badly I wanted candy in the first few days! Ha! She would tell me about the different kinds of hard candies she had at work... I had totally forgotten that.....

Heck yeah! I've eaten so many sugary things in the past 42 days! I've, also, developed quite the dark chocolate addiction!

I'm not sure if there's any rhyme or reason behind it in relation to detoxing but I've kept hard candies and chocolate on-hand daily. Hey, keep brushing your teeth and flossing and substituting candy for pills seems okay in my opinion:)!

Hey "Rootin-Rosy",
You sound like such a little fire-cracker, such spirit.  Thanks for the input.
Lol, no, no steak for me; I'm a vegetarian. Stay positive. :o} Spider
