Yesterday was the end of day three. I still feel like I am gaining weight, despite only having half of the dayly ration of the lemonade per day. If I had the full ration it would be 255 carbs, and only like 1000 calories.
The calories are great, I mean I usually consume more than that in alcohol every single day. I usually only eat dinners (I go to bed late and wake up late when working from home, if I have a day shoot and have to be up early it's a different story), so usually by the time I wake up I figure it's only a few hours until my boyfriend gets home, in which I will make him dinner, then I will be full for the rest of the night (3-4am) because my belly will be filled with delicious wine.
I think the salt water flush is maybe making me retain water or something. I always love salty foods. In fact, I almost never eat sweets, I just don't care for them.. anyhow, the amount of salt water i put in should be coming out (of my butt) and it never is even close to the 32 ounces that I drank. I think I am absorbing it all.
I almost gave up. I wasn't hungry, but I was just sad to not see results, not be pooping enough. I really want to taste food. It doesn't help that I like to have the food network on in the background while I edit pictures.. not the cooking shows but the competitions (chopped, iron chef). Maybe that's a bad idea.
But by the end of the night it would have been stupid to quit and eat something.
I'm not craving alcohol. I just want it. And I know when I am done with this I will get some. I think I will get japanese and some hot sake. Man, that sounds fantastic.
The hardest thing is not hunger. It's not chugging 32 ounces of warm salt water. It's just boring living life without food. I'm home, I have no friends, I edit other peoples weddings and my own work for countless hours. Eating something or drinking something makes life more enjoyable.
I am literally just bored with this. But will try to drone onto at least 10 days.
I do feel fine. My sense of smell is rediculous. Like it was when I was pregnant (uh oh.. ponders this.. ).
master cleanse,
