my colon
2005-11-16, 10:39 a.m.

i am doing a lemon colonsic cleanse right now. chad, jefferson, betty, ellen, and max are all doing it with me. the process includes:

*upon waking up, drinking a quart of uniodized sea salt water (this is considered an oral enema)
*at least every two hours throughout the day i am supposed to drink a mix of: one half lemon (fresh squeezed! it must be fresh squeezed!), 8-10 ounces of water (spring if possible), 2 tablespoons grade B maple syrup, and a pinch of cayenne pepper
*before sleep, a cup of an herbal tea laxative
*i am allowed to drink as much water was i want, but no food

this is supposed to last 10 days, but hopefully it will just be 6. so i can have four days to come off it just in time for THANKSGIVING!

this is only my second day on it. i am feeling okay. jefferson and ellen are on their third and chad, betty, and max are about 2 and half days into it. it is hard!! last night has been the hardest. right before bed. i was pretty bored, so i wanted to eat. but i didn't. i won't be surprised if i don't make it. but i would like to. it is nice having others do it. it is good support.

but how weak is my body, if i can't go 6 days without food. that is nothing!!! nothing!!! but my mind and body are so weak. they think i need food when really i don't. it is hard to break the habit of food. it is hard to break the habit of anything (i have mentioned this before). but i am not sure if it is healthy to quit my social life and food at the same time.
