Re: Days 19 and 20 of (hopefully!) 40 day cleanse

Ladygrey,

You CAN do it. I, too live in a household where everyone else is eating food. I didn't have cravings after the first few days. Really, so much of my relationship w food is mental/emotional (believe me, my roommates have heard me walking around saying "I can't eat my feelings anymore!"
: 0 )

For me, it's been about determination. Sure, there have been a couple (out of 25 so far) days, where it's been a bit more challenging, but life is like that when I'm eating food, anyway. : 0 )

I believe that the hardest part (from what I've read and heard ) is the first few days. Once you get over the inital few days of detox, it's kind of a breeze. The thing is, if your mindset is (before you even start) "this will be hard" or "I don't think I can do it" then, of course, that's what will happen. If you make the choice to push through, no matter what, you will!

Again, I'm no expert - just a newbie at this, but I've learned a lot about myself over the past 25 days of my cleanse!

Honestly, our minds can play all sorts of tricks on us. I was determined to see this through, and thankfully, having this forum, I was able to get lots of support and feedback as well.

I am planning on doing another cleanse within the next few months. Am excited that I can be this healthy this easily!

Best of luck to you!
