2010 Detox Diary Day One - Not At All Prepared

Had all the best intentions to start detox on January 1st 2010, woke up too early, feeling too hungover. Thought this might happen, January 2nd definitely sounds more detoxifically (my first newly invented word of the year??) welcoming at the moment.

Don't think I could stomach the detox tea or chlorophyll juice yet, a full English breakfast sounds much more appealing. No no no, I am determined to last at least more than one day and beat last years incredible failure. Every year one of my New Years resolutions is to lose weight, trying different diets and failing spectacularly. The problem is I get to point and just think forget it and eat a pizza. But this year, I've just turned 30 and am aiming for healthy rather than just lose a bit of weight.

After every Christmas and New Year, I feel weighed down and sick with all the extra food and drink I've consumed. I feel like I've got 30 years worth of rubbish inside me today. So the idea is drink these detox drinks, eat healthy and stop smoking and drinking (at least for a while on that last one). I would normally include exercise in my list of unlikely to happen resolutions, but I won't go overboard.

Right now at 8.15am on January 1st, I feel I can definitely stop smoking, I never want to drink alcohol again (but I'm sure I'll get over that soon enough) and I want to eat healthy food for the rest of my life. I feel a bit better now and very positive about this detox, we'll see how long that lasts. I wonder how many people around the world are having the same thoughts.

So here's a bit about me:

Name: Lucy
Age: 30 (and a few days, still trying to get used to this!)
Nationality: English, now live in Thailand with boyfriend of 8 years
