Day 4
This has been the most difficult day so far...
Date: 1/28/2009 11:46:57 PM ( 14 y ) ... viewed 1492 times 1/28/09 - 8:46 a.m. I was able to chug the SWF (Salt Water Flush) in just a few minutes this morning but I noticed something interesting. I had a busy morning and got up at 5a.m. to do the flush. I got up so early that after I drank the SWF I went back to asleep. By 6:15 I hadn’t gone to the bathroom and started to get nervous. I was going to be on the road in 45 minutes and that would be real messy if the flush decided to show up then. So I got up and got my boys dressed. After about 10 minutes I felt the urge to go, and about every 10 minutes after that. I wonder if lying down after doing the SWF is not such a great idea. I’m going to conduct an experiment tomorrow morning where after doing the SWF I’ll stay awake and upright.
I’ve already had 2 glasses of the lemonade and have realized something. Like last night, if I let too much time pass between lemonades I will get really hungry…not good. I’m noticing that as the days pass, the time between lemonades is getting smaller. I’m getting hungrier quicker. Maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe that’s how I’m going to have 12 glasses in 1 day. On the first day I did all I could do to get 8 down, not the case anymore. My goal is 10 today so I laid out 5 lemons to motivate me. We’ll see if it worked.
1:17 p.m. I just finished my 5th glass of lemonade and I have to say I’m feeling despondent, but I do remember reading in Glickman’s book the this a detox symptom so I’ll try to distract myself and hopefully feel better.
9:22 p.m. Well I made it to the end of day 4 and as I sit here sipping the tea; I can say without reservation that the Master Cleanse is extremely difficult. My hunger has been mild to non-existent until today. I suppose it’s because I haven’t had anything solid to eat in 4 days, I’m pretty sure that’s it. Eating is at the fore front of my mind. Everywhere I look I see food, it’s like someone is intentionally running only food commercials while I’m watching TV. I have been telling myself all day to stop thinking about food and to stay distracted. OK, I have to realize that I’m going to eat again, and that this is good for me. I’m seeing the lemonade really starting to work, 4 days without food and I’m still going to the bathroom 3-4 times a day (and I’m not talking #1), it’s not much but I definitely have to go .
Since I haven’t mentioned to anyone that I’m doing the Master Cleanse, I don’t have much of a support system. I know that, especially on days like today, having someone to talk to and get encouraging feedback from would be invaluable. What I do have is Glickman’s book, which not only has tons of information but also comments, from his website, from other people who are going through the same thing. I also have this journal. This is like my own private therapy session. Even as I’m typing this I’m feeling more positive and I’m looking forward to tomorrow when I get another chance to improve my health and move closer to conquering this difficult challenge.
