Master Cleanse: Day 6

June 22, 2008: Day 6

My mom said that day 6 was her hardest day, so I have been preparing myself for it. I had church today, so I decided that I was not going to do the SWF. I did not want to be running in and out of the chapel, especially when I had to sit on the stands because I was speaking. I woke up at 6:00, which is becoming normal. I then had to finish writing my speech, so I did not focus on drinking the lemonade. I did drink the tea. I also had one glass of water. I went to church at 9, and was there for the next 3 hours. I did not bring the lemonade or any water with me. While there, I ate a piece of bread about the size of my pinky fingertip, as well as a tiny cup of non-filtered water. I really hope that that does not harm my cleanse. I refuse to deny myself of the blessings that come from partaking of the sacrament (Lord's Supper, bread and wine/water- you get the gist). That is more important than any physical desire I may have. But because I did not drink the lemonade, I began to be hungry. I was also really thirsty. So, as soon as I came home around noon, I hurried and drank that lemonade. I then drank 2 more cups in the next 2 hours. This almost caught me up with my usual schedule.

I began to actually be hungry, for more than just a split second thought. It was not an unbearable hunger, though. More of a slight remembrance of eating. I just know that something major has to happen before too long. I really doubt that I can go through the whole thing without any real pain, or as they say, “detox symptoms.”

I don’t know if it was the lack of lemonade, water, or the SWF that made me feel not absolutely perfect today. I will find out if this goes away tomorrow, and I am sure you will find out this information as well.
