Re: Who are we?

Funny enough, this is my first time on the board and my first day on the cleanse. I'm a 46 year old female - also a professional. I just left my company this spring and am really trying to refocus my professional direction - a 'What's It All About Alfie' phase. About 6 years ago I lost 40 lbs, took up serious running and became very fit. Just recently I was hit with a couple personal blows, the death of my father and an injury which caused me to stop exercising for a few months. So here I am having gained back most of the weight. VERY DEPRESSING!!

I've fasted in the past, but found I was more successful losing weight with food and exercise. This go around I feel I need to cleanse my body and hopefully conjure up some discipline. I don't think I'm in the headspace for 'dieting'. I just don't want to think about it in that way. Instead it seems easier to just drink, pee, poop and hopefully chalk up another day. Hopefully I can string 21 days together. Also, at our age you really do begin to feel like there's all kinds of scary 'stuff' floating around in our bodies that need to get flushed out. So, we'll see how it goes!

Good luck to everyone - and congrats on your weight loss.
