Oprah Winfrey has completed her 21-day vegan detox.

"I want some wine. Bordeaux 82. Just one glass at sunset, almost broke down and had a glass. I didn't," Winfrey wrote on her blog Sunday. "[But] tomorrow is another day. That's my mantra for now."

Instead of caving in to her craving - Winfrey stuck to the plan.

"Main meal was a large baked potato with sauted onions, herbs and olive oil. And fresh green salad with avocado and tomato, lemon, garlic and olive oil," Winfrey wrote.

Inspired by Kathy Freston's book Quantum Wellness, Winfrey kicked off her 21-day cleanse in May.

Her menu " created by Freston's own chef Tal Ronnen " featured food like tofu scramble roasted tomato, grilled onion and sweet garlic aioli quesadillas with jicama slaw.

The daytime diva, 54, kept an online journal of the entire dieting process. (See Oprah's weight highs and lows.)

"This has been exactly what we intended: enlightening. I will forever be a more cautious and conscious eater. That's my commitment for now. To stay awakened," Winfrey wrote on Sunday.

    Oprah is a sanctimonious, although very rich, B that is the worst kind of know-it-all. I'm sick of her diet adventures. She has outgrown any serious consideration for me. I'm looking at other shows, such as Ellen.

    It's great. I'm so happy for her and hope she can keep it up. I am on a yo-yo diet myself and people like us like to eat and at the same time want to be shapely and these two don't work together. I totally understand her. Keep up good work Oprah.

    Can't say, I turned off Ophrah when she dissed Michelle Pfiefer, and continued to interrupt every special guest she had on the show. Will she ever learn that her talent is an interviewer. She isn't an authority on every issue!

    Hi Oprah..A lot of people are just jealous of you because you made it in this lost world.. money isn't everything, especially when you have it.. Money can't buy happiness, can't buy you health, but it would put a smile on my face. I know you laugh and you cry, you have the same emotions as everone else has.. Enjoy every minute of it, because yesterday is gone, and tomo

    I Think Oprah does some great things, and has alot of money which is her business; however people don't want to be bombarded by her. Diet's etc. I think Oprah is a bit over rated!!!!!!

    Who freaking cares what Oprah shoves in her multi-billion dollar pie hole! Half the worlds population is going without tonight and every night, and we wonder what's on a mega rich %@!*#es menu? Like the man says, '...it's a sign of the times...'
