I have a couple friends, one in particular that, think i'm crazy (and stupid) for doing this. Even though I've completed 2 successful MCs, they still tell me I'm going to have no energy, starve myself as mess up my metabolism. Flat out. It's dangerous, you can't surf while your cleansing(I've only done it 15 or so times without killing myself!), you can't do this... or that... We are having a big get together at a bar this weekend to celebrate our graduation next Friday. I was thinking about not going b/c i just don't want to deal with it but... no way! I figure the more times i do it, hopefully, the more they will accept it. Plus I don't want to miss out on anything. I'll be drinking water while all my friends are boozing, that will a bummer, but for the best. I'm afraid the people at work would question my judgement as I am taking care of patients, that's why I don't want them to know. But thank for the tip, I guess if I'm forced to explain myself, I can always say I'm on a diet where I drink a smoothie during the day and eat normally a night or something... I def agree that some people get a but jealous that they "can't" (believe they can't) do what we're doing... hopefulyl we'll inspire some folks!
