Day 1
First day of master cleanse. Why do I want to do it?
Date: 6/18/2007 11:54:57 AM ( 17 y ) ... viewed 1776 times Today is my first official day on the Master Cleanse. The past 3 days I've been, dipping my toe in the water, so to speak. I've been doing the cleanse during the day and having dinner at night.
I've been drinking the Smooth Move lax tea in the morning and the Yogi Detox tea at night. Yesterday I tried the SWF but didn't flush much out. It went through me but came out as mostly water. I'm also taking wheatgrass powder in 12 oz. filtered water once a day. I'm also going to use some psyllium husk in water to help flush out some buildup in the intestines. But I'm not using the bentonite with it, just water.
Why do I want to do this cleanse? I want to detox my body and start on a healthier path. The past month I've been working with a nutritionist and going to the gym regularly but I want to give myself a jumpstart. But most of all I want to have more energy. My 26 month old daughter deserves to have a healthy, happy, energetic mom. And I want to prove to myself that I can do it.
The past couple days I've found that I can easily deal with the physical desire for food but the psychological craving for food is much stronger for me. It doesn't help that my partner can eat anything he wants and not gain a pound. He eats/drinks sugar and fat all day long and he doesn't gain a pound. He's not into being healthy and has no interest in it. At least he is supportive of me, as long as it doesn't involve him doing anything different. I told him I might have to go into the bedroom while he and our daughter eats dinner :) Again, it's not the physical hunger that's the problem, it's the psychological want. I guess that's another reason I want to do this cleanse, to break my addiction to food. I've heard that this addiction is more difficult than drugs because when you detox from drugs you can at least completely avoid them. You can't do that with food, you have to consume something.
Anyway, I had my smooth move tea this morning with some liquid hoodia gordonii to suppress appetite. It's almost 1pm and I've had 3 lemonades, my wheat grass, and only 16 oz. of water. It's not easy drinking so much when I'm not thirsty at all. More than anything I'm just tired. But that's normal for this time of day. I went to the gym this morning and walked a little bit. Then I sat in the sauna for 15 min., that was nice.
It would be really nice to get a nap right now. But I don't think my daughter will go for it :) She takes a nap sometimes but usually only if she falls asleep in the car.
