Re: Who are we?

I am a 30 year old female from Dallas. I have never really had a weight problem but I think I have emotional eating habits. Lately, I know I do not look as good as I could and I am tired and lethargic...I want to change that. I am starting this Master-Cleanse for the first time on Monday. I am determined and the more naysayers i meet the more determined I become. As for Atkins..that is NO way of life...I DO NOT believe in diets and have NEVER dieted. That is why THIS appeals to me. Its 10-21 days of your LIFE! I mean do we think so little of ourselves that we can not sacrifice food for several days in a healthy way?? I someitmes wonder myself. The hardest part for me is the drinking and social aspects of eating. I admit happy hour invites sound boring with no cocktails. Just think of a 10 day vacation...it goes so fast, doesn't it...well, your body is GOING on vacation for a change -- look at it that way!

Another thing for me, though, is that going out was eating up too much of my time. I am looking forward to this as a time of serenity, catch up on reading, and sleep. I will likely get a lot more done.

I am certainly goin to save $$ not going out!! I have read posts where people say the syrup is so exensive -- 8.00 at most?? Geez...that is one jack & Coke in Dallas & who ever has just ONE...weigh it out!

That is all I have. I hope I can make it!! This board helps!!
