Tomorrow is my 10th and final day of my cleanse. Yes I, Briar, have gone 9 days without putting a piece of food in my mouth. Not a grain of rice nor a Cheerio. (I did have to smell the girls' Nilla Wafers and Beth's Cafe Rio taco. That somehow made me feel better.)
Friends have been really cute/funny about it. Almost everyday I will get a call from someone and they will just slowly ask "Soooo, how. are. you???" I know it seems crazy but I have been doing great.
But let me just tell you. . .I feel so so much better!
I decided to do this because I am so dang tired ALL OF THE TIME! I'd get headaches and be irritable at night. I wanted a Diet Coke to just fix it for me.
Well- I decided I was done with that.
I feel great. My head is clear, my stomach doesn't hurt, I get out of bed much quicker, etc. It has been well worth it.
I do have to say, I am nervous coming off it. It will take 3 days to assimilate my body back to the world of food.
Oh, but I am excited. . .just to CHEW something, for crying out loud!
Oh - and - that picture is not of me, nor did I take it. I just love it. Much nicer than a photo of lemons or cayenne pepper - 2 things of which I have consumed mass amounts of for over a week.
