Hi everyone,
I will be starting my fast tomorrow morning. I am not new to the Master Cleanse and actually have attempted the 10 day fast twice this year but had to stop half way due to work and family situations that came up.
This time, I'm adamant to not only finish the 10 days but continue until my body tells me to stop.
I'm a petite 25 yr old woman who not only gained weight during college but also picked many bad habits that tend to make life easy. For example: fast food, coffee, soda, processed foods, etc.
Recently I've made some healthy choices that I feel will help me succeed in my fast which include giving up soda, fast food, and incorporating green tea in my daily diet.
My reasons for doing this cleanse are several. First and foremost, I am eager to embrace the health benefits of ridding my body of toxins. Being a 25 year old, I often feel twice my age to weakness, fatigue and lack of energy on a daily basis. I also have skin problems that range for acne, acne marks, keratosis pilaris, and dry/flaky skin. Secondy, I want to lose approximately 15-20 pounds because I feel that the way I look right now is not who I am on the inside and shedding the extra weight will rejuveniate my inner spirit. Lastly, I am doing this fast for all the spiritual benefits that I've been reading about on this website and online.
I know that this will be a difficult journey but I hope that I can succeed. I would love to hear anyone's insight and advice if they are currently on the fast or have completed it in the past. I will continue to post my daily log regarding the cleanse.
As of a little while ago, I've just drank my laxative tea and am ready to go to bed.
I wish anyone on the Master Cleanse right now all the very best of luck and a hearty congratulations because you are on your way to healthier and happier you!!!
