Re: Day 18 of 40. First cleanse ever. Am having a hard time for the first time in 18 days, don't want to give up.

Hey Wellboy!

You may well be responsible for a 'Food Licking Epidemic' among The Master Cleanse set,(through what you wrote)! I must say that reading that did make go "Hmmm what other food can I lick, but not ingest?" Although I don't know that that would work for me...against me? Likelier...WAIT!!! It could be the *said in deep announcer voice* "NEW Master Cleanser - lick all the food you want and keep losing weight!" The camera pans to people sitting around a kitchen w platters of food in front of them, each person licking succulent ribs, desserts (wait, icing...I think I would be ingesting that by licking it, no?) etc. etc...

Were there any major differences for you between the 10 and the 21 day cleanses?

I don't know that this is torture, I just know I'm having a rougher time of it now. I have another friend who has done the cleanse multiple times and he said "I'm jealous of you, I'm starting another one on Tuesday". So that made me realize that I probably won't regret staying on the cleanse (cuz, I've gotta admit it, the weight loss is also a terrific bonus!)but I may well regret going off of it.

Having said that, I'm going to see if I can coerce anyone into buying some barbequed Korean beef that I can lick!

Thanks again, Wellboy, and I'll be sure to check out your link when I've got a minute!Oh wait - unless it's food p 0 r n?? : 0 )
