Day 2
Better today...although feeling quite a bit irritated.

Although I haven’t eaten anything solid in a day and a half, there is evidence to the contrary. I already had my first lemonade and have decided to only use 1/10 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Using 1/8 teaspoon proved to make the lemonade almost unbearable. I was able to chug the lemonade this morning and hope that I’ll be able to have about 10 of them today. No hunger pains and I feel great. Food is on my mind, but knowing that it’s just in my mind makes it easy to distract myself. I’ve read that today and tomorrow are supposed to be the worst days, so I’ll try to stay in the right frame of mind. The boys are off school today and I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not. Some of the detox symptoms are irritability.
10:20 p.m. – Well, I made it to the end of day 2. Not too bad today; quite a few feelings of hunger, but they went away after drinking the lemonade or water. Every time I saw a commercial for food my eyes opened wide. Or making food for the boys, even something as simple as PB & J, I sniffed the peanut butter jar, ahh heaven. I was pretty irritated today, which is good because irritability is a detox symptom, and that tells me that my body is getting rid of all the junk. Evan asked me why I was so mad; I immediately got my irritation under control and tried to be more pleasant. I think I was only mildly successful. I was able to drink 8 glasses of lemonade today and I’m still seeing evidence that it’s working. It’s tough though to think that I still have 8 more days of this, not to mention that after that it’s still 2 or 3 more days of only juice before I can have real food. I have to keep reminding myself why I’m doing this. I can see why so many people quite during this time, it just seems insurmountable. I just keep thinking that I don’t have to drink the lemonade for the rest of my life, just a little while longer. I’m hoping that my outlook on food will drastically change. I feel that I need to see food as a way to nourish my body, not to comfort it. That would be a great thing to happen to me.
