So, yesterday I celebrated the successful completion on my one-day challenge by allowing myself to eat whatever I wanted. I even went to the grocery store and bought junk food. Yup, junk food, including two Mexican Cokes (glass bottles, real sugar), Ian's GF chicken nuggets, chocolate ice cream, Betty Crocker GF chocolate chip cookie mix (seriously!) and a GF chocolate bar.
Got home, skimmed the melted ice cream of the top and that was enough.
Drank one of the Cokes, and that was enough.
A couple hours later, I ate the nuggets and they made me sick.
Made the cookie mix and hated it (I used to love it!)
The chocolate bar was consumed before I even left the parking lot, of course.
I was shocked at how just that one day of totally clean eating had changed my taste buds. Maybe it was all in my head, but that's fine if it is.
Today I'll do another one-day challenge and again report on my progress.
