Approaching 280+ days in the high 90% Isagenix protocol, I would have to say that I am an IsaHolic. Now, you could still be an IsaHolic if you are on autoship and love the products, but I'm talking about the next level IsaHolic. You know the one that craves Isagenix food over any other food...even if it's free?
You know you're an IsaHolic if you go to a party that has every one of your favorite foods and you just walk by without giving it a thought. I'm not talking about even the slightest thought to grab a plate and start to munch on one thing. So what is your favorite thing? Whatever it is, I suggest you go get a picture of it and hang it up in your office to remind you that you are no longer out of control. You can resist even your worst enemy, be it Pizza, Hamburgers, Wings, Cheescake, Steak....ANYTHING!
If you pass that test then I will say that you are an IsaHolic. Although, it's not as easy as it sounds. I see people all the time take the "7 Day Challenge", but struggle when it comes to the weekend. What is it about the weekend? Do you think you're going to miss out on some great food that you couldn't eat on a Tuesday? We didn't name it the "5 Day Challenge" because that is not the same as "7" days. No matter how you slice it, the weekend is going to be part of your challenge whether you start on a Monday or Sunday.
I know that I have turned to the other side in terms of food because I have no cravings for food. As long as I have my Isagenix food, I'm good. I'm also an IsaHolic because I would prefer to eat Isagenix food than any other food on the planet. That would include all my old favorites which would be too numerous to mention here. Yes, at one time I did have cravings and ate all the goodies people eat every day. That was then and this is now!
Taking responsibility for my health seems odd to so many people. I'm not sure why that is. Maybe it's because they want to, but don't have the courage to change? Maybe they don't want to change and get healthy. Maybe they don't have someone that can help them and give them support. Perhaps they don't know it is possible to get healthy eating nutrient dense food. Whatever the reason unless you truly make a commitment to change your life then you will always play the justification game. You also might find yourself playing the blame game as well.
I encourage you to be true to yourself and if you know what you are eating is not helping your body then don't eat it. Take a good look at yourself and ask yourself if what you have been doing is working. If the answer to that is no then you have a starting point. You see, you can't move forward if you don't know where you are. Once you discover that you want a change in your life then take action and move in the direction of your "want".
Don't worry if you fall down because as in the words of David Wood, "In the beginning, every master was a disaster". Get up and try again and again and again until you have the courage and discipline to walk up to the dessert table and turn and walk away. If you do that...you're an IsaHolic!!
