I recently started a fasting program called the master cleanse.  Why, you may ask.  Well, I have read that during fasting you become the most enlightened, your health is drastically improved..and well,I am a woman, so there is some vanity in my reasoning...WEIGHT LOSS!!! 
This is my 2nd day on the program and I must admit, this morning I woke up with more energy than normal.  This program calls for the complete elimination of food.  The only thing you are able to put in your body is a concoction of water, lemon juice,maple syurp and cayenne peper..The first day was pretty hard mentally.  I wanted FOOD. I was dreaming all of types of things I could eat, even food I normally dont even like.  I will admit, I was tempted to sneak something, but I held firm.    Surprisingly,  I dont have any hunger pangs.  I feel hungry but not as strong as I expected. I don't feel as poorly as I anticipated.  Maybe I'm not as toxic as I thought .  Somehow, I know thats not true...
Oh my gosh, as I sit here typing this,the last 3 commericals were about food.  I hate MCDonald's but DAMN, that Big Mac looks good!!!
