I wanted to celebrate the completion of the whole ordeal and my immediate reaction was, WHAT CAN I EAT TO CELEBRATE? It's a good thing I didn't have any cash or I would have stopped for some ice cream. It would be quite an adjustment to leave sugar alone completely. As my body ages I've had to start giving things up; chocolate after 5pm because it keeps me awake, meatloaf because it's too greasy, KFC again too greasy, fresh pineapple, corn on the cob ............ You've just started the food denial cycle earlier than most.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423024947233260195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5886303072658015966.post-5788671911504880682009-06-09T08:41:08.516-07:002009-06-09T08:41:08.516-07:00Maybe you just need to detox a while longer and ev...Maybe you just need to detox a while longer and everything will be so clear and funny you'll wonder how you ever functioned while eating sugar! <br /><br />I actually thought this was a very poignant post.

I teach Sunday School for my calling and I was studying about the celelstial kingdom. I had a few questions myself and read a couple of articles. I learned some great stuff that I didn't know before. One thing I read was about how we will be judged from the Book of Life and that our bodies are essentially that book, that our bodies will help tell the story of how we lived on earth. And when we are resurrected our bodies will be resurrected to a celestial, terrestrial, or telestial form, thus determining our kingdom. It gave me a lot appreciation and understanding of just how important it is to take care of and respect our bodies. You are doing a lot better than most of us. Hope you have a great get away:)Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11637669267936725574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5886303072658015966.post-29533665004763164802009-06-03T07:24:43.276-07:002009-06-03T07:24:43.276-07:00L♥ve it!L♥ve it!Shaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13780614646408617149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5886303072658015966.post-65305664922681419332009-06-02T20:45:19.223-07:002009-06-02T20:45:19.223-07:00This is beautiful.
