I admit, I'm REALLY tired tonight and SO READY TO EAT SOMETHING, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. It's time for the update, so here you go.
The Master Cleanse, OMG It's Day 8:
- My mental strength is very much under fire right now. I just want to be DONE, I've been fantasizing all day about the things I want to eat when I can. Literally, if I don't have something else on my mind, even for ONE MILLISECOND, then that damned millisecond is all about the fries from here, the Seared Ahi Tuna here, the Avocado Egg Roll from here and so many more things. I'm even super excited about the idea of having a pear, or some grilled portobello mushrooms, or some Annie Chun's Korean Kimchi Soup, or salmon! or salsa! or sushi! or goat cheese with a demi-baguette! CAN YOU TELL WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY MIND TODAY?
- Other than this huge challenge, physically I feel okay except for when I've gone too long between having the Lemon Drink, so I'm trying to watch that carefully. That's when I can get tired. The detoxing hasn't been too bad these past two days and mostly I'm still just having a little congestion move around.
- I am telling myself that I will feel stronger if I can make it through the entire 10 days than if I do what I really WANT to do right now and run down to the kitchen for some soup. If I can do this, how can I tell myself that I CAN'T do anything I really want, like I have a huge tendency to do? I hope I can draw from this experience that I can be stronger than I think at any given moment and can make it through something that seems daunting instead of quitting when the horizon looks difficult.
Now I'm off to bed. Tomorrow I can say "Only ONE more day!". That will be wonderful but also torturous at the same time. Wish me luck!
