As I emptied that last pills into my hand tonight at dinner, I felt a strong sense of accomplishment. I survived twelve days of cravings and temptation.
Admittedly, I technically ended my cleanse a meal early. We picked up sushi for dinner, which had white rice... and I ate it with soy sauce and pickled ginger. Oh lordy was it good. Seeing as I didn't commit a serious cheat throughout the cleanse, I didn't feel at all guilty.
Yesterday I told myself that my cleanse was officially going to end tonight at midnight. When the clock struck 12 I was planning on indulging in a piece of chocolate. It is currently eleven, and I am not at all tempted to reach for that oh-so-delicious dark chocolate waiting.
In other news, my skin is the clearest it's been. I'm really happy with this aspect of the cleanse, as I've been breaking out on a consistent basis for several months now. I also dared to step on the scale at work today. Since the beginning of the cleanse I am down a total of two kilo. While in the grand scheme of things that may not sound like much, considering this occurred in twelve days, I'm impressed. Again, I recognize much of this weight will be temporary. Nonetheless, I'm still content, and it provides good motivation to continue eating "cleaner" if I wanted to shed more pounds.

In conclusion, although I was not completely blown away by the changes brought about by the cleanse, I believe it was a valuable exercise that created a space for me to examine what I was putting into my body and how I was affected by the things I was consuming. To anyone who is considering doing the Wild Rose D-Tox, I say go for it. Whatever your reason is for wanting to try the program, you'll find value in completing this cleanse and discover ways to create the happiest, healthiest you.
