How much of failure is determined by mindset?

I had a dream last night I had a huge nasty sugary orange Icee sorta drink. It was awful. I didn't want it but there it was in front of me. and then I was looking down at a huge pizza and I planned to eat the whole thing. I had resolved. I only ate one piece before i woke up. I think I'm just nervous about staff lunch today and not wanting to stand out and not wanting peer pressure to eat junk either. And last night I took Ray to Grooveberries and had a few spoonfuls of her melted sugar mess that she couldn't eat.

the struggle, mostly ebbs

Two weeks and a day into the detox.
I can't say the struggle is gone but if it ebbs and flows, it mostly ebbs.
The only cheats so far have been a fruit or two above the alloted daily one.
A few bites of organic pasta, a little ranch a handful of times, mayo in tuna or chicken salad, a little homemade granola (with honey). Oh and that one time I rinsed out the empty organic maple syrup bottle with hot water and drank it. That was good.

Not bad I think. I do love the freedom from desserts and sugar. cakes, cookies, don't even tempt me.
I don't want the mental/emotional/physical craze it puts me in to. Not worth it!!!
And the energy spikes after sugar, it's so nice not to have.

I do want chocolate sometimes. I put a chocolate chip in my mouth once and spit it out.
chocolate is powerfully good.
I'd like to never go back, never.
I suppose other cheats according to our "rules" - I sometimes have a few organic corn tortilla chips and a piece of Ezekial bread toast.
