Toxic Life

Here's a little glimpse of what it's like to live a 'toxic life.' And yes, these all come from personal experience...believe it or not.


You know you're detoxing...

- when you drink a gallon of water a day and still feel thirsty

- when you cry and the tears burn your face and eyes (my mom always says crying is good because it gets the toxins out)

- when your mom coughs or sneezes when she's around you

- when your sweat smells like perfume (or pesticide, or whatever your detoxing)

- when your hair feels like straw no matter how often you wash it with baking soda

- when unsweetened chocolate tastes really good to you (apparently organic, dark chocolate is good for the liver)

- when you have a recurring dream about pulling a sticky substance out of your teeth and gums

- when a detox bath is the highlight of your day (hot water and minerals, or epson salts, etc.)

- when you actually look forward to going to physical therapy

- when you start adding "de" to all your words - desensitize, destress, declutter, debrief, defocus.... (well, maybe I'm not that far gone, yet...) =)


Yep, it's a toxic life.
