Candida Cleanse: Day 32

I’m feeling a little discouraged today. I’ve been sick with a wicked cold for 8 days and I went to the doctor today. He gave me a really high dose of antibiotics (12 days worth!). Antibiotics are one of the worst yeast related enemies. So basically everything I’ve worked so hard for in the last 5 weeks isn’t quite ruined, but severely hindered. Just when I felt like I’d conquered the world and I was on track, it kind of went up in smoke. I felt like throwing in the towel and saying “I’m done, let’s go for pizza and cheesecake!” But I can’t give up.

I’ll do what I have to do, it’s just not what I wanted. At least I’m rooted enough into my diet now that I’m not really craving too much anymore, I was just really looking forward to things like a glass of chocolate milk, or a fresh cookie and not having to take all my own food everywhere I go. Thank goodness that God’s grace is sufficient for us in times when we are discouraged. And I have to remind myself of my verse one more time:

Let us not get tired of doing what is right, for after a while we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t get discouraged and give up.” (Galatians 6:9)
