During this cleanse you may have realized how much comfort food brings to your life, and you may have realized the type of relationship you have with food. Many of us are emotional eaters - eating when we're happy, eating when we're sad, eating when we're bored! Often when we are nourishing ourselves with comfort foods, we are really just looking for 'nourishment' in our lives - filling a void. Some people are missing love, companionship, hobbies, self esteem - many mothers eat after their kids are in bed and they finally get some 'alone' time! Knowing these things is the start to figuring out what we can do differently with our negative food relationships. I challenge you to 'nourish' yourselves in other ways. Use the cleanse to experiment with things that make you feel good. Instead of eating that cookie at night, treat yourself in other ways - take a relaxing bath, read your favorite book, meet up with a friend for tea, call your mother - whatever fills your cup! And why not 'pamper' yourself with a big reward now that you're almost done your cleanse - book an appointment for a massage, or a spa therapy. You deserve it!
