I'm back from the great abyss. The Winter of Age 45 has not been without its bullshit! Aging mother, kids flying the nest, perimenopause, oh the insults.
During all this, I went down, down, down into depression. Fuelled greatly by S.A.D. foods and not giving a rat's.
Gained a lot of my weight back, and was such a deep shade of blue that I didn't. even. care.
The unbelievable guilt at falling in a hole when you know better with all your heart, is beyond.
However, and this is where it gets good... I have returned. Somehow smarter, definitely wiser, and somewhat more temperate.
I'm in week 3 of eating fresh, raw, live foods and I am feeling the layers come off in such a profound way. Did you know the demons retreat when you don't feed them garbage? How kind of them to bugger off. The part of me that thrives on LIFE is the part of me I'm feeding now.
It's so good to be in my SelfHome again, I can't even tell you.
How 'bout a big round of applause!!!

clap, clap, clap! Glad to see you back. You know what they say, get back on the horse. Or at least sit in it's shade.
Wishing you all the best and a big jar of vegetable juice. Celery is so cleansing :)

I love this!! I have just gone through the same thing! I went through a pretty intense breakup at the end of summer and just fell off the freakin wagon!!
I've been juicing and rawing all over the place trying to get back!
I look forward to reading more about your journey!
