New to this and a little worried

After hearing through the grapevine about cleansing, I went online to do some research. The Master Cleanse made the mose sense to me. If you're trying to cleans your body of harmful chemicals and impurities, why would you use another chemical in powder form from GNC to accomplish this? The all natural ingredients in this cleanse appealed to me.

I bought Dr. Burroughs book and read it through, as well as many blogs, forums, reviews and articles on the internet. I'm very excited to start this journey on monday 11/27/06. I've made a list of pros and cons to look back on if i encounter any hurdles, i'm working on cleaning the pantry of any temptations and I've ordered my supplies. The problem....my live in boyfriend is THE meat and potatoes man! He's old fashioned and doesn't understand how not eating for 10 days can be good for me. I know he's just worried about my health and well being but I was wondering if anyone out there had some links to trusted resources advocating this cleanse. I'm trying to assure him that between the lemons and the syrup, my body will get what it needs, but he's still scared and to be honest...it's scaring me!

I think that I can do this and i think that I will only be a stronger, healthier person at the end of my cleanse but I need his support. He's said he'll support me but I feel it's not 100% because he's scared. So i guess what I'm asking is, can anyone point me in the direction of some information to set his mind at ease so he can push me along in case i'm tempted with by failure? Thanks so much for taking the time to help me out. I'll be keeping in touch as the cleanse nears. Tweet
