Psoriasis journey: Day 2
Today is the second day of my journey to heal my psoriasis. I am following the book healing psoriasis: the natural alternative by Dr. John A. Pagano.
On day two I am halfway through the cleanse. This is my second time trying to follow through this book. The first time I gave in to food and went back to French fries and salsa - two foods on the do not eat list, but two of my ultimate favorite foods. This time I am committed to following through until I am completely healed from the inside out.
Since this is my second time, I am following my own sort of cleanse which entails mostly raw foods. The first time I only ate fruits during the three day cleanse, and it was incredibly hard. I am feeling free to modify the cleanse because I don't have any problems eliminating which is the main reason for the cleanse in the first place.
Here's a rundown of my meals today:
Breakfast - slippery elm bark tea, followed by an apple and some mango-apple juice.
Midmorning snack - one apple
Lunch - banana and plain yogurt (technically I suppose yogurt isn't raw, but it does contain live cultures, and I have to little ones who ate yogurt and granola)
Afternoon snack - one apple
Dinner - avocado, mashed sweet potatoes with butter and cinnamon, and corn on the cob (definitely not raw, but so yummy)
Having two little ones and a hubby who loves meat, I find it really hard to not eat the same thing they are. This means I usually end up compromising on dinner. Not a good excuse, but it is just what happens. I have planned out meals for tomorrow that don't really appeal to me, so as not to be tempted to eat the same. I am looking forward to the cleanse ending tomorrow. Although, the next phase of the diet changes are going to be tough too. I am constantly having to remind myself of the end goal - freedom from psoriasis. I am praying constantly for God to help me persevere through to the end.
Thanks for reading and may the Lord bless your day.
