Thank you. I appreciate your support. It's not easy, but now when I go to the grocery store 80+% looks gross and I won't go near it.
As for dark chocolate, I always found it disgusting and only ever ate it out of addictive desperation when the store was closed and the pantry was empty. The darker it is, the more it tastes like dirt.
Oh and speaking of dirt, I despise coffee. Always have. I was addicted to those Starbucks Frappuccino things ever since Sept. 2019 (pharmacy stocked them and they were the only thing open during work hours), but now coffee is off the table too.
I'm very close to running out of shitty food to cut. Now I just need to figure out what to replace it all with. So many differing opinions on what's healthy.
Are you familiar with Dr. Axe? If you haven't already, go to draxe.com and read up on the healthy foods he recommends. Everything I've tried from his website (natural remedies) has worked so I trust him very much. He's all about natural healing and good health from whole foods and nutritious living. For me, I just try to avoid chemicals at every turn. I read labels in depth and if I can't pronounce or readily identify what's in something, I don't eat it. I like to buy organic fruits and veggies as much as possible to avoid pesticides. Some things I can let go, like bananas, since you peel them, but berries like blueberries, strawberries, raspberries - you eat the whole thing so those are zero tolerance for me, I ONLY buy organic with those. Same with raw spinach and salads. So hopefully that's a start; you gotta eat something. Do check out Dr. Axe's website, I think you'll find a lot of good information there.
