Hi phylken, I love spreading motivation
Well, to be honest the Master Cleanse is 90% mental. It seems like you gradually indulge, and then just give in. You know, you can continue on it if you eat one thing. But it depends what it is. Can I ask, what are those trigger foods that you crave? The great thing about the master cleanse, is honestly, if you stick to to it, it will erase those cravings for certain foods in the long run
. Sometimes when I get cravings during the cleanse, I will take some organic chicken broth, lemon juice, and some pepper and warm water, (uh yea, I like lemon chicken lol), and pretend I am eating soup. The warm liquid normally fills me up so much that I forget about the food. You might find a way to distract yourself. You can also:
Take a nap when feeling cravings,
Drink some water,
Warm senna tea,
I do not recommend this, but if you are craving noodles, candy, or something, AND you HONESTLY CANNOT do it, chew the food, AND SPIT IT OUT, lol
Give yourself an incentive for every couple of days you make it w/o cheating,
Look at weight loss before after pics/ videos on the internet to distract & motivate yourself,
Weigh yourself (keep a journal of weight loss for motivation),
Write a journal entry,
Make a weight loss collage,
Go for a walk,
Wait ten minutes, cravings usually disappear after ten minutes, or
Tell your husband to distract you
lol
And lol at your hubby rolling his eyes. Well hey, girl be proud of yourself, you are making a HUGE effort at changing your life right now. But we're all human, sometimes it's hard. And some people can't forego food for 1 day. You can do it for SEVERAL DAYS. That takes strength. Pssh if he rolls his eyes, I bet he won't do that once you've achieved those goals.
Keep pushing hun, you got this!
