Inner Battles Goind On (Oy!)

Day seven for me, and I finally have passed the wall of longing for food.
I struggled every day with wanting to quit, and only the "disgust" of my current weight (and a bag of lemons sitting there looking at me...) caused me to hang on only "for that day."

Yes, this is a cleanse- and not a weight-loss program... yet it can be a fresh start in choosing to do GOOD to your body from now on out.

I found that in wanting to loose pounds (at least to try to loose... my pants fit more comfortable today on day 7, even if it IS only water weight... and that gives me hope!) that there was a TON of emotional junk the first 5 days for sure - (whew!) I wasn't expecting that much resistance from my mind, or wherever it came from.

For those of you who are here trying "something" at least healthy (the master cleanse) in regards to weight... be prepared for a fight inside of you!

The food will seem to cry out to you... everything will seem extra juicy and smell better than you ever remembered it to be. Everything sounds GOOD.

It is all part of the test.
You are choosing to say "NO!" over and over and over- one day at a time.
Your WILL is controlling the WANT, and the "want don't like that!"
The "want" will throw a tantrum and your imagination will say that this is torture... or that this is lasting FOREVER (when it has only been a few days)... poor me!

No... GOOD you! This is training, not torture!

If you can conquer the urge NOW - you are building up the muscle called your "will" for later when you return to eating again.

Even if this "muscle" is weak and flabby... each time you use it, it gets stronger and firmer.

This is just practice - and when you want to scream... scream, "This is GOOD!" (Let your mind and ears hear that... really.)

If I can crawl to day seven... (with an intense inner battle going on...) I am sure that you can too- and to your goal day.
Keep buying lemons by the bag-full.... and say, "when those lemons are gone, THEN I will see and decide."

You CAN do this! It - Is - GOOD ! Tweet
