The week has been a lax one for me, but if there's one big blessing for me this week, it would have to be knowing a very wonderful person who has given me a great advice. Going on water therapy.

My late father already told this to me before, but I wasn't able to sustain it, or I wasn't that eager to do it. My new friend has been an enthusiastic one in being with me every step of the way, and for that I am most thankful.

Since this week, I start my day by drinking water. It really does help in cleansing the system, but at first I admit I had a hard time. I would feel too bloated that I would throw up, and on my first day the water has made me feel I have a full tummy yet I am feeling hungry. Day 2 was optimistic for me, and now I am getting the hang of it. The biggest thing this has done for me was it was able to suppress my appetite. There were instances that I would crave for some food, but when I am already holding it, I would feel "lazy" to eat it. =)

The other day, my new friend has told me to junk the junk food and soda and start eating more fruits. I went to the market and bought apples and rambutan. Well, eating fruits will be a hard habit for me to do as I am not really into fruits. I eat a whole lot of vegetables, but I am very picky on fruits. Tonight, I had an apple for dinner. Not bad considering that I had a heavy lunch.

I am liking this change. When I had my first apple, I plurked about it asking if I am having a fever as I am not really like that. I have a big appetite. I love to eat my carbohydrates... and I am eating apple?!? And this afternoon, I cooked spaghetti as snacks for the construction workers who were fixing our terrace's ceiling, and although spaghetti is one of my most favorite foods, I was able to resist to cook only good for them.

As much as I am thankful for this change, I am hoping I could sustain it. I am afraid to fail again... I hope in two years time, I am a truly a changed person.
