December 5 – Let Go

What (or whom) did you let go of this year? Why? (Author: Alice Bradley)

This year I let go of my life-long habit of eating and drinking anything I wanted. Late in 2009 I began having severe symptoms of acid reflux. To make a long story short, I had to give up meat, dairy, sugar, refined foods, and stimulants (including decaf coffee and tea), because the meds couldn't keep up with the acid production. Did I mention tomatoes? I had to let go of tomatoes. That was sad. But not as sad as chocolate. That was the saddest. I lost bunches of weight and now weigh less than I did when I was 16.
