Day 14: Salt!

Today was the first day of my vacation. I did some more cleaning around the apartment today. I started really working on the contents of my closet. I took a huge step today in my cleansing process. I knew this day was coming, and I faced the challenge today with strength and dignity. I parted with my gaming computer today. I took out the hard drive and a couple of components that I can use to upgrade my sisters computer when I go down to visit. Then I took the computer and monitor into work to be recycled. I also parted with my lovely backlit gaming keyboard and some other peripherals. There's no going back now. I'm offically committed to building something wonderful in the real world and not in a game world. I'm grateful to the game world to giving me a safe place to start on my path of discovery. And it also feels good to know that I no longer need that comfort.

I had a headache all day. (I had it last night too.) I'm pretty sure that stRIPPED last night really got some stuff moving in my body. As much as I wanted to do a salt flush last night, I was far too exhausted to do it. So today I did one in the morning and one in the evening. It is strange how I can feel my body asking for it. When I began noticing that my body wanted it is when my tastebuds also began to really accept the process of drinking it. I don't feel like I'm in a realm of suffering now when I drink the salt water. That's pretty amazing.

I tried to log into the teleconference yesterday from the Center for Mindful Eating. I figured that I probably had the wrong time or something. Today I got a call from someone from the center apologizing on behalf of the doctor for not being able to do the call. I was so impressed that someone took the time to call me. I think I will probably sign up to become a member of the center. I was so impressed with the response. They seem like a great group of people. I'm going to re-read the eating mindfully book to get into a mindful attitude about eating before I begin eating food again. I think this is going to be powerful.
