Re: Fasting?

Dear carrie26,
In my opinion, it is not a good idea doing The Master Cleanse and having an ED. I am an anorexic/bulimic/compulsive overeater. I am currently doing Master Cleanse and am on Day 9. It was pretty scary that it was very easy for me not to eat for about 6 days. The past 3 have been rough. For whatever reason, I stopped the cleanse and completely binged. Everything they said about not wanting Sugar or pizza or anything wasn't the case for me. I wanted it and I wanted it all. Then I figured today would be a wash and I would finish out the last day of the cleanse and assimilate to healthy eating. Maybe it could be done, but for me, not the case, thus me checking out this forum. The experience made me realize that my disease is completely raging and no longer dormant. I kept on telling myself I was doing the cleanse for health reasons adn to get rid of the toxic crud in my system. Today I realized that it was b/c I wanted to lose weight. I lost weight, but still don't feel good about myself. I guess in the end, you can only decide if the cleanse is right for you. Ask yourself why do you want to do it. I hope this helps. It was a very painful discovery for me on day 9.

I wish you well. Tweet
