Hello All,I am a cleanse veteran, I feel.
I have actually lost count of how many times I have done the cleanse. I love it. For me, it is always hard to get back on, but once I’m back in the saddle I can’t get enough. Lol. I have lost almost 80 pounds in the last 9 months. I attribute a lot of my weight loss to the cleanse. Not only did it help me to lose some of the weight, but it also taught me discipline and self-control!! It motivated me to get out of my size 14-16 jeans and into my size 6's! HOWEVER, I have been a BAD girl!
I have kind of fallen off course. Not too far off. But I want to catch myself before that happens. Before the 6's start feeling snug. Lol.
This past weekend I went to Baltimore, MD for a conference. I pigged out. I drank tons of wine and enough crab to fill the Atlantic Sea! So, here I am. My body was craving this. I need to be cleansed.
Typically, my cleasnes last up to 25 days. I think 25 days was the longest I did a cleanse. I know some people who have gone up to 60 days!!!
I dont know if i have it in me to do that. Maybe I will try for 30-40 days next year sometime. For now, I am only going for 15 days. This is actually pushing it with the holidays right around the corner. I started on the 7th and plan on going until the 22nd. I will use the 23 and 24 to ease my body back to the consumption of food. I plan on visiting this forum regularly for support and to give support as well. This forum was always a source of motivation for me in the past!
Please feel free to contact me if you need any words of encouragement. That is what we are here for, right! Everyone who is on the cleanse KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!!!! Hang in there. Fight passed the fleeting moments of fatigue or the late night cravings you might encounter. End the end, it is ALL WORTH IT!!! Stay strong, stay focused and stay motivated! Lets do it!!! Who needs New Year's resolutions when we have NOW!!!
