chocolate chip on my shoulder
I've let myself get kinda stuck in rebellion mode about shrinking my food cravings. i.e dark coffee and dark chocolate. I think I'm using it as a way to keep from fully participating in the whole process and the community. I thought if I confessed I might be able to move out of withholding and into connection with my desire to be part of this. I also don't know how to blog so maybe this will disappear into cyberspace and I can remain in hiding until I find a teenager to show me how this works.

Good advice Leslie! I also think that we all paid our money and committed to this cleanse for some reason, whether it's physical well-being or a desire to commit to something and follow through with the support of a kula. Whatever your motivation, there was one. This is called INTENTION. So when we're feeling rebelious or lazy or sneaky or gluttonous, we must revisit our intention, our sankalpa, why did we want to do this in the first place? The cycle of starting something and feeling unable to follow through CAN end if we constantly remind ourselves of our sankalpa, our intention, and take refuge in our kula when we need the extra support. Be mindful, does eating a cookie or drinking wine support your intention? If it doesn't, is it really even satisfying because deep down you know it's not supportive? Like chess masters, sometimes it makes sense to think ahead a few moves. Before you drink that cup of coffee, know that afterwards you'll feel like you always do when you can't stick to something. Let the strength of your intention guide you to try something new, harder for sure, but new and different. And Leslie is right, when you fall, get up, brush off and start again. Cleanse yourself of behavior cycles that result in the same outcome over and over and over and over...
