What I find...
Thanks for the responses to my posts 
((hugs))
I wanted to post this so everyone could read because I think this probably holds true for mostly all of us.
Thats exactly what I was on "a downward spiral" those are the worst! Stress plays such a huge role, just normal everyday stresses. If I am TOO upset I clean...... but just average everyday stress stemming from time management when it comes to the family, work and everday things, can knock you off your schedule. You tend to grab whatever is there and don't feel like thinking about "diets" or eating healthy and such. It really does take careful planning to stick to eating healthy since we have so much responsibility resting on our shoulders it's hard to make time for ourselves. I am always focused on my son, husband, cat and the house and just everyday things that take our minds off our "diets".
It's so easy to "forget" to get in those vitamins or protein. You sometimes look at it, then get distracted and think "OK I'll do it later" then later you are distracted with something else. We get into the mindset that it takes a real effort to stick to those things when it takes all but a few seconds to take those vitamins and drink a drink. It really is all in our heads. We have to just slow down sometimes. We have to really take time for ourselves and think things through, albeit it's easier said than done...but for us its a necessity. 
Since our lack of vitamins and protein can lead to SERIOUS medical complications because of our malabsortion state. 
Well anyways... enough preaching I decided since I was so full of sugar and JUNK to do liquids for a couple days. Today is day 3 and I think I will continue this as long as I can. Which will probably only be for another day. BUT it has put me back into gear. I lost 6 pounds so far!!! woo hoo! 
Just in 2 darn days! Just goes to show how much crap I was eating. Yesterday I had my tea and decaf coffee and I had black bean soup and my protein drink. that was it... well my vitamins of course... but it hasn't been as bad as I thought it was going to be! I think I scared myself into thinking that I just couldn't do it. But never give up hope because we CAN do it!
Best wishes to everyone!
