Master Cleanse Forum - Master Cleanser Lemonade Diet

Well, I am finally ready to do this!! For the last two weeks I have been mentally preparing myself. 21 days is the goal for sure and maybe longer if I can stand it. Between prayer, meditation, determination and exercise, I will be successful . I have done it before with some sucess maybe 7 years ago or so. But, I only lasted a few days. I have been through a lot these last 5 years and I am finally emotionally available to start this new journey to change my life. And it is more about my spiritual journey this time. Although weight is an issue I'm also working on my insides. I joined here for the emotional support. Here we go!!! I AM SO PUMPED!!

Anyway, today was another good day. I keep looking to the end but I know I can only do one day at a time. Really excited about weighing myself on Friday. Although, I need to go buy a scale.

Mood/Feeling: I'm hanging in there. I'm not hungry but food is everywhere!! Had to go to grocery store and all I could think of was food and the next pasta meal I'm going to have. I have kinda isolated myself from my friends so I am not tempted to drink. They would not understand what I am doing. Friends mean well but can be negative when they see you trying to do something different. Anyway, my first week is almost over!! Really excited to get on scale.

6 LBS IN 5 DAYS!! WOW!!!
