Present Self Vs Future Self

The 3 Ds

Today I’m carrying out a half day dry fast eating beans salad with green juice and home made apple pies Yum. Its all about the 3 Ds a  Today  discipline, detox, delight.

The Plan, To Start the day with a dry fast. That means no food or water, my last meal I eat was at 17.00 yesterday and I had glass of water during the night about  22.00. I broke fast at 15.00 with raw juice and a three bean salad aubergine peppers mushrooms tomatoes cucumber lettuce Jamaican pattie. For a treat I’ll be indulging in a delicious, month watering apple pies – that will to appease my belly monster  :0

The Inner conflict, To do or not to do. One part of me says Frik the three Ds, Frik discipline, frik detox, let’s just keep the delights – Should I fast or not !

This is the topic of my inner conversation, and subject of my inner conflict, The two angels of reason are at it again. On one shoulder, I have the progressive angel of good conscience on the other shoulder I have the angel of temptation.

Angel of good conscience

This Angel, Mr Goody two shoes, always knows what’s right, for the moment and the future. He tells me to meditate, read a book rather then watch movies, He reminds me that I have a beautiful family at home and chasing skirts is meaning less. Mr Goodies two shoes says things like make your work your play and your play your work.

This angel defends my goals and represents my values; He always looks deep acts long term. Some times I find him as boring as hell, but he’s always got my back…  This angel represents my conscious.

Devil representing temptation.

This guy can be soo much fun, this guys has giving me a warehouse great, pleasurable memories, but he needs to be kept on a sort leash, under the supervision of my Angel conscious.This little devil feeds my most basic biological needs and desires. I shouldn’t really call him a devil he’s just looking out for my primal needs, food, sex, relation, my defence and protection. This guy likes to keep things the same, he can be a little ignorant or egotistical, he has a vested interest in the past, which you can call the comfort zone.

Why detox

The voice of reason says its a bit about discipline, health, its a bit about focus, its a bit about will power, it a bit about control, detoxing, its a bit about mr goodie two shoes getting revenge, I should really say balancing the scale’s as an atonement for the beef we eat last night and the 4 spicy chilli and lime sausages, I had the day before that. Its a bit about time as I was running late so decided to take the opportunity to have a half day dry fast, followed by a green juice’s.

Going with your feeling

Rewinding to Mondays inner conversation

Why not eat to your hearts content the little devil whispers in my ear, theirs starving people all over the world, He says, you can’t wastes last nights left over’s. – Mr devil gets 2 point.

Mr goody two shoes says remember your vegetarian, and goodies two shoes gains 1 point.

Mr devil says you’ve been doing extra training all week give the body what it wants, YEH your right that sounds reasonable – 1 point Mr d.

Mr goody two shoes says are you really hungry or are you eating for recreation and pleasure, As I rub my slightly blotted  stomach… I think to my self Mr Goodies your right!, as I span the last bit of spaghetti bolagnase around my fork.
