You wouldn't want my head!

Because it is a very strange place.
So where I am now? .......I have had a very reflective week that ended in a few days in Paris with friends ( who live there). This last week I have not fasted but have eaten carefully. What have I achieved! Coffee is down to breakfast only. I have long been concerned about my need for caffeine and wanted to deal with it. I have invested in Perrier water as find that more palatable than still. I know cold weather will be a problem but I am leaving that until it happens. I have also drastically cut back on carbs for a few days. From that I have learned that I need some in my diet but can easily reduce the amount. I have reminded myself too that I do not need chocolate. I once went a complete month with no chocolate. I know that if I have a bit I want more. If I do not eat it I can live without it.
The more I understand my body the easier it gets but I have realized I need to listen.
So, to conclude......I can do this, but not all in one go. I have to be patient and make small changes then take time to get used to the change. I do not have worry about what I will eat just go with the flow. Today I am happy to fast and so my journey continues.
