Day 4 of MC

[SparklePlenty]

It's the morning of day 4 here and I almost gave it up yesterday, I wanted to eat so badly. All day I felt good, energized, enjoyed talking on the phone with webmasters, etc writing, but the lemonade did not taste good to me and so i wasn't drinking very much of it.

By evening I was restless, hungry, and discouraged. and I ate 4 or 5 pecan halves. My mouth felt lonely and my logical mind was telling me to quit, to just eat raw, no biggie, etc, etc. LOL But that was it. Had my smooth move tea, read my last MC journal to be reminded. Remembered why I am doing this and am committed to doing it. And most importantly, I loved myself unconditionally through this, no judgement, no criticism, nothing but love.

I realized that each time is different. My body is different this time, because I've been eating high raw, even tho' some cooked. I am different this time.

Then I went to bed, wokeup at 6 this am alert, rested and ready to go. The scale shows 8 lbs gone already, and I like that!

Today I expect to be in the flow and joyful! How 'bout you?

Today is day 5 for me(well day 3 of the MC-I did 2 juice fast days to start)-and I felt the same way yesterday. I explained it in my journal area. Anyway-I wasn't craving a particular food-I just wanted to eat. I wanted taste FOOD again. Esp, since my Living in Live Foods DVD came in. I had to stop watching it because it made me want to get up and prepare some yummy food! LOL! I did get a little discouraged yesterday-I started thinking "If this is what day 4 is like how will I EVER get to day 15, 22, 30?!!!???" But I hung in there-and prayed for strength. I also wanted to get on the scale so badly! But I had made a promise to myself that I wouldn't get on the scale til Sunday. I don't want weightloss to comsume this fast I am doing this for my health and because God called me to this fast. I know He has a message for me, and if I get obsessed about the scale I will miss what He has to say. (I'm just speaking for myself and the way I can get about stuff.) I didn't wake up with a lot of energy, but I think that's because my toddler was up a lot last night complaining of a belly ache... :(

Hi there Everyone!
Today is day 4 for me with the master cleanse. I am happy to have made it to day for... I had a major temptation. At my mom's and dad's house last night, she brought home some pizza. Dear God, talk about temptation for me. I thought about it for a long long long long time and realized that it wouldn't be worth the pay off I would get if I just endured on this quest to cleanse. Hip Hip Hooray to all master cleansers. Sparkle what you said is really important.... no judgments or anything. We just have to appreciate that this experience is a process that is ongoing and that it is not an issue of right or wrong. I am so glad I found this site. Everyone's words have been extremely inspiring. My mom is probably wondering "what is wrong with my poor daughter. How does she expect to get married when she's not eating "normally"?" But that's a post for another time. ;)
