The Master Cleanse is a drink that you drink for up to 2 weeks. It is like a special lemonade; you make it yourself. It is water, lemons, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. and then, that's all you ingest while you're on the fast. It makes you crap out everything bad and cleans everything out.

Day 24
Okay, so I messed up AGAIN this weekend, like I do every weekend. I ate so much on Saturday, it was ridiculous. Dare I even say? Yes, I will, you will be disgusted.
I ate a whole large pepperoni pizza by myself and 1.75 pints of ice cream. That was my lunch, okay? And THEN, even though I was still full, I ate a French dip sandwich and a large order of curly fries for dinner.
JESUS CHRIST WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?
Listen, and check THIS out--I also ate so much that I felt sick to my stomach and did not go to a party I meant to go to because I felt so full and in pain from how much I had eaten.
This is not good. This is a serious problem! I know I have talked about it before, but I really was thinking on Saturday as I lay on the couch like a bloated-ass whale that I really have a problem. I have a serious problem with food. Who in their right mind would eat until it was painful? That is so wrong. And I do that every freaking weekend. So, it's not even so much a weight thing, ok, because I have consistently weighed less at my weigh-ins every week (although we'll see what this week says, I'll keep my fingers crossed it's at least not more than 163), but I have a really unhealthy eating pattern that I am sure is bad for me in so many other ways besides putting on weight. It hurts my social life--sometimes I forego hanging out with people so that I can stay home and binge in secret. Oh my god, I can't believe how fucked up I am. And I think FUCK if I was going to have a problem, couldn't it be with speed or coke or something that at least made you skinny? Jesus, I am like an afterschool special.
aaaaaaaaargh!!!!
anyway, so after that enlightening moment (and the scale very unhappily read 167.5 on Monday), I decided that I need a whole new system, a whole new way to look at food and exercise and health.
I had heard about and have studied somewhat ayurveda (which is a very old Indian system of health). I have read a few books on it, how to practice it in daily life, and always the part that got me was food. I have such a hard time controlling food and my cravings and how I look at food.
But ayurveda addresses all aspects of life and one's daily practices, including spiritual practices. There is something called "dinacharya" which is a daily routine that is good to follow for optimal health. I am hoping that I can reprogram everything, because the weight thing is just a symptom of an underlying problem, a disease of the mind, I think.
So, this morning, I woke up at about 6:15am, as ayurveda recommends getting up within the two hours before dawn, went for a little walk (about 13 minutes), did some yoga, gave myself a self-massage and cleaned out all of my senses (ears, eyes, mouth, nose). Then I took a bath, did some meditation, did some upward rows with weights, ate breakfast AFTER I had taken a big, fat dump (somebody on here is fond of saying that), took a very short walk, and now I have been doing Internet-related stuff since then. I will post what I weigh once I get to where a scale is.

I'm so sorry you have such bad weekends. I don't do well on the weekends, and I had the same kind of day last night like you had on Saturday. I just ate to eat without regard to being hungry or full. However, I did notice that I wasn't full, but I was feeling sorry for myself and continued to eat anyway.
I hope this new program you are trying out helps with what you are going through!
I will be weighing in tomorrow and hope to see something good versus what I have seen the last 2 weigh-ins which is All gains!!

Actually, I have heard of the Master Cleanse. I just did't know the name of it. I think it's what Beyonce Knowles used to lose all that weight for Dreamgirls. Sounds like pretty gut-turning stuff! I can't imagine drinking it even once, let alone for 2 whole weeks!
Your program sounds really cool. I like how it's holistic - it incorporates body, mind, and spirit. I hope that you enjoy it and that it works very well for you!
