oh wow! those could have been words out of my mouth! i too have a thin husband who can eat ANYTHING - i stumbled on this site on my way to looking for something to help me with my low metabolism - i started taking my temperature in the morning before i got out of bed and realized that it was never more than 97.2 or 3 - which can equal to slow metabolism, which cleared up the reason why after dieting for 5 months i had only lost 12lbs - so like i said i only started out looking for something to boost my metabolism and then after reading through some of these chats realized that i need to pay more attention to cleaning out my system and getting back in order so that it could adjust itself and get me going again - so here i am - i must say the first three days were the hardest - i feel better today - almost like a cloud has lifted - i did do an hour of yoga yesterday - we have someone who comes to the office - i thought i would only last half the time but i managed through - also since i take the bus to work i can do the herbal tea or salt water - but i'm taking friday off so i'll do it on thursday - i've had headaches and have had to take excedrin three times - i hope it doesn't have an adverse affect on the whole thing - well i'm glad i found some good support - no one really understands until they go through it - it's not easy - especially if you come from a "thin" world - my husband has been supportive although i've been grouchy - he knows it's cause of the fasting/cleansing thing so he tries to just be patient. stay in touch - it was good to get on line and hear from someone! virginia
