My Personal Journey through The Master Cleanse (Day 7) Final Day
4:53 pm
Hello friends!
I have some bittersweet news for you guys, but before I give it to you, I am gonna start with the usual recap of my day. Well today went well. Last night I dreamt of Greek Village. Subs…mmm. In my dream, I stopped the cleanse early for a cheese steak. Well, I believe in signs and omens and so I think its time for me to bid this Master Cleanse a farewell. I didn’t have an abundance of craving today, and I felt fine, but I’m just ready for it to be over now. Don’t be disappointed in me! I still feel as though I accomplished my goal. The goal was to remove toxins from my body and in the past 7 days I have done just that. If anything, I’m superior because what takes some people 10 days only took me seven. Ok, maybe not. But 7 is the biblical number of completion and I feel complete in this here journey, no need to linger here for 3 more days.
But really though, I was invited to a cookout Saturday and I wanna go. And not just go and inhale fumes, I want to engage in the bite, chew, swallow process with everybody else.
It’s been fun charting my journey, I thank everyone who’s followed along, maybe I’ll do it again someday, maybe for New Years or something…who knows.
To all those considering doing this for themselves, I say go for it. It’s worth it even if you don’t reach the end of the 10 days, it’s about the process, and some is better than none. You’ll probably learn a little about yourself in the process. I learned that I have an instant gratification thing that I need to work on. I want what I want when I want it. That means in the future I will try to practice patience a little bit more.
I did lose a few pounds though that was not my goal. (8lbs in 7 days)
For those who are interested, get the book. It’s by Stanley Burroughs, you can find it on half.com I only paid like $6 for mines including shipping. I encourage you to do it for the learning process and the detoxification process, not to lose weight. In my own opinion, that shouldn’t be the motivation behind this or any other diet. If you take care of your body, your body will take care of you. That means watching what you put into your body in terms of grease and fried foods, not just counting calories and carbs but incorporating fruits and vegetables in your diet etc. I won’t preach but just know fat is not your enemy, it’s actually healthy (to a certain degree that is), don’t get caught up! Size 6 isn’t always wassup, I’ve spent my life tryna gain weight, it didn’t happen. Don’t let the media/society decide what is right for you or tell you how you should look. I said I wouldn’t preach.
Ok, off my soap box. It’s been real.
Sayonara.
