Hi Abbey Lee,
today I checked the forum after a long time..and I was surprised to find you again cleansing
so I read all your posts from this MC
I'm sorry to hear your life is filled with so much pain..and also that you were beaten as a child
so MC is even harder for you because you are in pain and do it despite the pain (or also to make your pain bearable). And you're a geniuos writer, happy and up-beat
You had two periods on this cleanse so far. My period started on day 1 of this cleanse, and I was hardly waiting for it (or for the lack of it). And like you I did some online shopping for two dresses today - I like treating myself from time to time
I had to laugh at your scale calibration with the cats
so cool. I love it also how you keep it secret to people. I told about the cleanse to my boyfriend and to two friends with whom I went to the mountains last week as I was not eating on that day. Otherwise I just don't tell. It passes faster if noone knows. I'm really looking forward to do two more days and then I can eat again! I'm active - I do pole dancing (intermediate level), running (also competitions) and walking in the mountains (usually 6-10 hours, in the snow at the moment). So I should not lose more weight, right now 118 lbs.
I love your determination and I know you'll persist no matter what. Very few people do that and very very very few do it for such a long time! You're an iron woman!
When I did my first long cleanse in 2009 I had a lot of support on this forum. Now I see there's almost no one here (besides you
). I wonder why... I guess we people don't like being out of our comfort zones and MC is exactly that. Day 1 most people can do but day 3 and longer... not many. I always liked reading success stories from people who did it longer and didn't give in. That's what counts and if you start doing something and you decided to bring it to the end - then I take it as granted that you finish it (and don't give up). But yes, human mind is weak.. unless we strengthen it
Sending you over many joyfull days with energy and feeling amazing! And hug that lemon tree for me
