I'm still in the realm of food. How it's part of our rituals -- the buying of it, the making of meals, the meeting others to eat, the community, the satisfying feeling of something delicious in the mouth and going down -- and it's grounding. Food takes us into the body, it fires up our molecules, it can make us happy! I happened to see an episode of Giada and was so envious of her relationship to the food -- her absolute enjoyment! Pasta, cheese, tomatoes, olive oil -- the freshness of lemon zest, the nuttiness of parmigiano reggiano. Food is life! Food addictions are something else. I guess this cleanse helps me to look at how I use food -- do I eat unconsciously, filling up my belly when it's really something else I'm hungry for? Am I gluttenous, eating too much, have I a habit of stuffing, or a sweet tooth that can't be satisfied? I know this cleanse is helping me to look at my habits--and hopefully when I'm through with it, I'll have a better idea what foods nourish my body and which inflame it. I'll be a better eater in my own behalf.
