Detox Diet - Why Am I Doing This Detox Thing Again?

One thing I hope to cross out from my to do list is to be healthy, fit and beautiful naturally. I abhor makeups, pills and any other vitamins that can help me achieve my dreams easily. I'm not a masochist but I do know that quick solution is often not a permanent one.

Makeups can hide your flaw but I don't want that flaw to exist in the first place.
Pills and supplements might help me lose weight but the moment I stop eating them, I'll gain my weight back.

VeMMA is one of the best example for this. When I took the supplement, I do feel more energetic but my inactive lifestyle remains the same. When I took it continuously for a few days, I feel my skin feel smoother and more supple but my bad eating habit doesn't change. When I drink it constantly for a few weeks, my yeast problem is gone! But again, it doesn't affect my bad eating habit at all.

The moment I stop drinking that juice, all these problems come back. So even though I really like the taste and the benefits, if possible, I don't want to rely on it for the rest of my life.

Maybe I'm just being stubborn or plain stupid. I don't know... this supplement feels like a quick fix to me. I'm only 22 years old, with no illness, lots of time in hand and is fully capable to take care of myself and so I feel like someone like me shouldn't have to rely on any kind of pills and supplements to be healthy.

It's an entirely another matter if you're busy, obese, old, have cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, eczema, arthritis, asthma, depression or various other complications. You can read a lot of testimonies here or watch it here (they're in Malay). This delicious supplement is known to be very helpful to combat this problem. So to me, this is okay because the users definitely need this kind of stuff to improve their quality of life.

So now I'm on detox diet because I need to create a healthy eating habit which will help me to be healthy naturally. Of course, exercise is also needed... and this is where my problem actually lies..

Ah, well, one step at a time...

I have no problem controlling my diet anyway if I want to and I've proven it before. Why did I quit anyway? Oh yeah, after I started living with my mom again, she cooks all the time and I don't have to cook. And since she's a meat lover and cooks a lot of food even though there's only two of us, there goes my diet down the drain. I know it's not her fault 100 percents because even though I hate to waste good food, we can always store the leftovers in the fridge.

That leads to another problem though. Mom has this... I don't know.. She seems unable to control herself to finish any available food in house as soon as possible. I also know that mom like cooking and eating with others. She loves feeding others. So I kinda feel guilty to see her munch down all those food alone and so.. I got suck up into her diet.

It helps though that when I told her I want to do detox diet, we kinda agree not to tempt each other. So now, even though she still cook a lot of food, the food is for her. There is no need for me to feel guilty about it.

Still, why detox diet? I didn't do much research about it but I chose to do it anyway.

Looking at the menu, I just thought, finally enough fruits and vegetables for me to eat everyday! And it suits my calories need and my taste buds love it too. The health benefits are just the icing on the cake ;)
