It was welcome as it was hott outside.

The first two weeks were somewhat iffy (mostly because I had to refrain from eating even fruit to kick my sugar addiction), but, with the introduction of wholemeal flour and reintroduction of fruit (in moderation) I'm feeling all the better for it.<br /> <br /> For most of my adult life I've battled depression (which I know is highly sought after if you consider yourself 'artistic', at least in some groups) and the winter months always prove to the the absolute worst. I'm more than confident I can get through the cold stretch this year due to my new dietary habits. It's crazy insane that little changes can make such a big impact, I've never been happier OR more productive in my life.

Finally I said "okay depression or this" and I just stopped cold turkey. The first 3 days were hellish for sure, took loads of vitamins, drank a lot of water, cried like a junky, but it was all uphill after a week. Tried to give up many things all at once but found just one main thing worked - now going on to sugar and flour. It seems like if you try for all at once it fails. This was the same way I gave up smoking too. Yes, unfortunately, we keep wanting the things that keep us depressed. Strange what we humans do, no? Whatever you choose good luck with it. Make a plan. Put it in writing. And then just go for it!! :) "it's holy water" was hilarious. Laughed out loud! It is hard and tried to quit for 10 years.
