Day 12- New Jeans

This is day 12 on my 21 pounds in 21 days Martha's Vineyard Diet Detox journey.

What an interesting thing is detox.
I haven't eaten any solid food for 12 days and yet I feel great - better and better, in fact.

I'm getting the urge to do things I haven't done in years, like go dancing.

I no longer wake with a headache every morning and my post nasal drip is gone!

The 21 day plan also has given me enough time to break old bad habits like sugar & cheese. When this is over, I will have gone without sugar for 21 days. I'm sure I have never been sugar free for any length of time before. I have been trying to break my cheese habit all year. Finally, I have done it.

I was eating sugar & dairy and having headaches everyday. Now I'm not and the headaches are gone. What a valuable piece of knowledge. And there are other perks.

I got dressed this morning in some of my old (smaller) jeans - jeans I haven't been able to wear in years. But they didn't look right and didn't feel right. Finally it hit me- they were too big! It's been so long since my jeans were too big, I didn't recognize the signs.

I was so excited, I went shopping for new ones. I bought a new pair - 2 sizes smaller than the ones I was wearing 12 days ago.

It's almost magical.
