Another day in the books for the Master Cleanse! At this point the whole cleanse thing is starting to get old if you want me to be honest. It has been a full week now that I have been without food, and while I am not hungry, I would like to eat just to feel the sensation of food entering my system.

Of course this is prob. part of the process as well, since now is when the parasites are starting to die, and the body is about to complete it's process. I am only allowed to go 11 days after my meeting with the doctor today. If I go more I run the risk of doing real damage since I really didn't have a whole lot of fat to begin with (don't get me wrong I could afford to lose 10 lbs, but not in 3 days).

I weighed in today and nothing has changed there so I am plateaued out there. The only real issue at this point is the fustration level of not being able to put solid food in my mouth. My daughter is getting very upset with me not eating with her. Children are definately smarter than we give them credit for!

She understands that I am not eating, but does not understand why. This has given me a new view on continuing this as well. I do not want to ever teach my daughter that she needs to not eat. I have always known how perceptive children are, but this has given me a whole new stance on the fact that literally everything we do, our children will see and try to copy.

To combat this, we have started making sure that my husband is here for 2 meals a day allowing him to sit with her and eat. I go and take a bath or something else as I don't want her to see me at the table not eating and she is too smart for me to pretend.

The salt water flush has gotten SO much easier over time, it is hard to believe that I am actually able to accomplish that every morning without gagging or throwing up!

I have 3-4 more days to go, I have made it this long, to stop now would just make zero sense. If you do start and don't make it at least 10 days you are not really accomplishing the purpose of the whole dextoxification process!
