Not sure what to do about it, so I've been drinking green smoothies all day and feeling somewhat better. Also had kombucha, and found some kidney detox tea that isn't raw but looks like it's worth a try.

  5. To my inner critic

    An alert...THIS POST IS NEGATIVE SELF TALK...don't mean to darken up anyone's day...so feel free to skip this one!

    To my inner critic,

    I just got finished talking to your twin, Inner Sabateur. You two work together, right? I have heard the things that you've said about me. I'm fat. I'm not worthy of love, wealth,etc. I'm unbearable and boring,etc. I heard it all. When I'm fabulous, I'm a fake. When I'm broken down, I'm a loser. There is no satisfying you. You have ...
