The Diet Change: UPDATE

HOMEOPATH HELL INTO HEAVEN

Following on from my homeopath hell story, I went ahead and changed my diet. The first week was like hell on earth, I managed to stop the coffee addiction by just going cold turkey. I haven’t had a cup of coffee, bottle of coke or hot cup of tea in over a weekend a half.

Who would have thought back then that we would be throwing nunchucks around the room trying to beat a family member up in the ring on Wii Sports.

A big thing that has changed for me is mobile phones, I can remember my first mobile phone. It was a crazy big BT Cellnet phone with a sim card the same size as a credit card. The phone was the size of a brick and should have had it’s own lethal weapon licence, but it sufficed for what it was made for. The first time I had ever used “texting” and being able to make calls remotely away from home.
