Master Cleanse: Day 11

June 27, 2008: Day 11

Today was the first day that I can say I had detox symptoms. I got very hungry for a few hours. It might have had to do with the fact that I am extending the fast. My body may have said, “Hey, you did what you were supposed to do, now end it so that I can go back to my normal habits.” Each time I would see an ad for food on TV, I wished that I was off this cleanse so that I could eat whatever I please. But, because they say that these feelings are typical, I am deciding to stay on the cleanse.

I was tired last night, and was in bed rather quickly. One of my roommates came home at around midnight, and I needed to talk to him, so I did. He was making one of my favorite snacks: chips and melted cheese. I smelt that melted cheese, and I started being envious, because it was my cheese. I offered it to him because I was not going to be able to finish it before it expires, because I am doing this cleanse. I ended up going to bed with hunger pangs.

Because of the late night, I ended up going back to bed after the elimination caused by the tea last night. I ended up drinking the SWF a couple hours later- when I woke up again. The SWF only had me in the restroom twice, and neither time I felt like I had to go, I just did out of habit. This started me on a bad path for the rest of the day. I decided that I am not going to prolong the SWF again.

Today’s weight: 239
I took measurements at the beginning of the cleanse, and because today is the typical day people start going off the cleanse, I figure I will relay the numbers now.

. . . . . . Start / Current = Change
Neck . 16.75 / 16.75 = 0
Chest . 49.75 / 48 . . .= -.25
Biceps 15.25 / 14.75 = -.5
Waist . 51 . . / 50.5 . = -.5
Hips . . 47.5 / 46 . . . = -1.5
Thigh . .30.5 / 28.5 . . = -2

I am only 5'6" so that should also help you understand how severely I am overweight.
I guess that my stomach is considered my waist, although I don’t wear my pants there. So, this has made me smaller, just not that much around my belly yet.
