Hi Carli, keep up the good work and you did a good job on resisting the cake.

Haha, I guess I should’ve waited til the morning to read when I’m not so loopy. See what happens when I write & respond while on pain meds? Ignore me…but it’ll be your birthday eventually so I’ll just be the first to say it

Happy birthday!!! Congrats on not really missing it. I definitely need a sugar detox, so this gives me hope. Keep up the great work, girl!

Hey Mama Helen! It wasn’t my b-day. lol But thanks anyway lol. I’m so glad to know that even though my journey has taken so many detours that I can still inspire people. No worries, I’m glad you asked. When I initially started, I was going to do 40 days, but that was a little intimidating since I rarely went a few days without dessert. I read and studied and found out about the 21 day fast in Daniel (Daniel 10:2). You know you always say take baby steps, so I decided to do a more manageable fast since this was my first time doing it for spiritual reasons, and not just some gimmick to lose weight. I hope that answers your question. (also, i have a stickie note on my desk at work that says, take baby steps, seeeee, I listen….

Happy Birthday sweetie! have a wonderful year and I appreciate your posts on how the 21 days is going…. you are strong, smart and good… I hope you know that you help other people by sharing your own struggles, losses and wins!! (here’s a challenge…I was raised catholic so not all that versed in scripture…but why 21 days and not 40? xoxo… don’t hit me!!!)
