Food CONFESSION: Detox Day 1


Started the day with raw juice of beetroot, carrot, granny smith apple, ginger :), sipped on herbal tea. (I got a liver tonic tea mix from The suveran an organic shop in bondi) all day.

Food CONFESSION

DETOX

Thanks to modern living and the convenience of 6 macdonalds, 3 KFC, 1 krispy creme, 8pizza joint within a 6km radius from my house. I have been severely bingeing on big macs, double downs, pizzas, and glazed donuts! My body is really feeling the effect and so is my face! The wake up call was the Fitness and Health expo i went to on Saturday. Wake up call for a major diet overhaul. What better way to kick start a healthy eating regime again then to begin with a 7 day detox program to renew my body.

My 7 day detox program

Day 1- Liquid only
Day 2- liquid and fruit ONLY
Day 3- Add raw vegetables
Day 4- Add cooked vegetable and brown rice
Day 5- Add Beans, lentils, nuts and seeds
Day 6- Add grains and live yogurt

LOVE Confession... part 2

Last thoughts
What is the difference between loving someone and being in love with someone?
Loving someone is the things you do. Being in love with someone is the great times and bad times you share together.
Being in Love is based on dependability, compassion, respect and compromise. If you don't share those important qualities with each other then its just infatuation and not LOVE.
Being in love with someone is like, wanting to spend the rest of your life with that person, wanting to have children with them, marriage, wanting to spend every undying moment moment with them, being on your mind more times than anything else if not, they at least dominate your mind at times when your alone or listening to slow songs or when you see another person you think is attractive, you think of your partner and smile as if it were them in front of you. ( not saying to approach that person lol). Being in love is magical, you feel on top of the world, they are the highlight of your day, they make you smile when your down, someone you feel you can rely on!! so much to say but thats what i think.
NOW loving someone is different, you want the best for them, you encourage them to do good things, you dont want to see them down upset or depressed. You are their shoulder to lean on, you genuinely want them to be in you life as it wouldnt be the same without them, you will do anything for them, you try your hardest not to disappoint them!
Right now there is much more to say but that's my perception. All of the things i said for loving somebody is also included in being 'in love' but i deliberately left things out to give you a dramatic idea of the similarities and differences. I hope my perception gives you a better understanding of the difference between being in love and loving someone.

My confession for tonight: Love that we can not have ...
Is the one that lasts the longest, Hurts the deepest And feels the strongest

goodnight

LOVE Confession...



This weekend I became relationship counsellor to my dear friends who going through the rough in their relationship. Listening to each of them made me reflect on my own recent experience. And emotions that I thought I had dealt with raised to the surface and I found myself going through flashbacks in my mind of what had gone wrong in my last relationship and why it did not work out. It's so much easier being on the outside of the relationship and looking into someelses, because things are objective. You are able to see reason and logic without emotions. (Emotions blind you, doesnt help when your born an emotional person like me ekkkk)

Im the sort of person who does not like to give up on things easily and so there I was on a sunday night reflecting on my things did not work out with this guy that I was seeing. We were both highly compatible and everything was great. I felt like my world was complete we were very insync with almost everything. But at the time I could not answer if I love him or not. You see Im a romantic. I had envision a 'love at first sight' sort of romance. The kind you get in When Harry met Sally type ones. But it did not happen with this guy. It happened with the last guy (I had the love at first sight sort of feeling but we were not compatible at all). So I think there are people you have a connection with, and there are people you really really like. But I believe your true love will be both.

When you don't know whether you really like someone alot or you love them, ask yourself why do you love this person, and if you can't find an answer, that's true love because then its neverending no matter what changes about this person you will always love them. And you know that whatever happens you'll always be there for them. That is what happens to you i think when you love that person.

A song that sums up what i feel right now is Beyonce *BROKEN HEARTED GIRL* This song totally speaks the truth, when you fall for someone and they break your heart this song decribes how you feel, It's the truth, you still love them but you don't want to but you can't help it, and we run in circles trying to get them back and were always there at the end of the day, But I know it's hard to admit but it's true, No girl EVER wants to play the broken- hearted girl. Do you agree?
