The last couple of days have been tough on me. The Candida diet is really tough emotionally. Yesterday I really craved Dove dark chocolate. Eating it is a whole experience, but isn't that the way with chocolate. That and coffee is what I miss the most. Since Candida feeds on sugar, it will cause intense cravings to get fed. So although it may be really hard to resist, you must stand strong and refuse the craving. Well I was really craving almost anything I wasn't supposed to have. So my strategy will be to dig into God's word and find something I love to do and do it.
"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
So I will fight this with the word of God! He helps me overcome and takes over when I am weak!
I was reading a blog the other day called The Candida Diaries. The author is Amy, board certified holistic health coach and she wrote in her post Flat Bread and Crackers, or, Why I Love Flax, "But they weren’t bad and gave me the inspiration for intentionally
making a big, thick ‘flat bread’ which is pretty awesome for someone who
hasn’t eaten anything remotely like a sandwich in years!" She was talking about her first attempt at making flax seed flat bread. But it really concerned me when I read that she hadn't had a sandwich in years. I definitely miss bread. The flax seed bread will be my next recipe to try. I'll let you know how it goes.
Blessings until next time!
