.....actually, I'm hoping to have LESS bust by the time I am finished.
I have to admit..I've been lurking around for a while now, reading and taking in all the info and I'm a bit frustrated that people don't follow through with their stories. So, regardless of how I do, I promise all you lurkers out there that I will at least let you know if I have bit it if that is indeed what happens!
This is the deal with me. I would love to sit here and tell you all that I want to do this cleanse for some higher power, to find enlightenment, that I shoved a magic crystal up my butt and came to the amazing conclusion that I needed to do this cleanse. I'm sure in his infinate wisdom, Stanley wanted us all to be that way. But, I have to tell you......I want to lose weight!!! Now before I get a ton of finger waving explanations about how the cleanse is not supposed to be used for that reason, let me just say that during my "lurking" stage, I noticed even those with the best of intentions were focused on the weight loss side effect above most else. I rarely read many posts about how great their liver felt, but more of the number of pounds they had lost. However, I gladly welcome the sense of well being and balance that may accompany this journey. But the bottom line is that MY bottom line is in need of shedding some enlightenment!!!!
This is my story.......I am the proud Mom 4 beautiful children. Two of which came in the form of twins just a couple of months ago. NO..I am not breastfeeding, no need for a" talking to"! During a moment of temporairy insanity, my dear husband and I thought just for giggles, we should have 4 kids in 4 years! Not recommended if you enjoy sleep, quiet, sex or anything that doesn't involve children crawling on you! Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't change a thing about my life except the one thing I have the worst relationship with in the world....FOOD!!
I grew up like many obese people do...alcoholic father who was abusive, low self esteem etc, etc, etc.....not that I'm making light of that situation, but I've dealt with it and moved on. I did use food as my crutch and have been overweight for many years. Emotional eating.....thought it was a good substitute for insanity and I'm sure it served it's purpose for a while. When I had my children, I knew it was time to deal with the garbage in my life and did so. It WAS the hardest thing to do ( but highly recommended), but then I was faced with a nasty realization. I am addicted to food! And not the good kind.(Is anyone really??) So, that brings me to now. I am ready to tackle this issue, but food and I need to be seperated for a while until we learn to play nice again! It's an appreciation thing and I need to learn to use food for what it's intended purpose is.
Tomorrow will be day 1. Iwould love to get to 40 days, but we'll see. What I do promise are these things:
1. I WILL be very detailed throughout my journey. As things pass from my body, you will feel like you're there with me. If you don't like that, perhaps you should read someone else's experience. I want those who have never tried to do the cleanse to get a very accurate account of the crap (pun intended) you go through!
2. I WILL blog daily and never keep you hanging.
3. I WON'T blow sunshine up your butts about how things are going. If they suck, you will know. If I have any AHA moments...you also will know.
4. I WILL post pictures during my journey. I think people need to see what will actually take place. Hey...I can't wait.
5. I WILL support anyone that want to join along. I just want the same honesty in return!
With that said, I must go buy some pooping tea now. Can't wait to be crapping my pants!!! Till tomorrow!
