Day 5 into the diet/cleanse and whoa its way harder than I thought. This diet takes a lot of motivation, self control , and dedication. Even though I am only half way though I've already been tested to my max. I do have chrons disease so I already knew this is going to be hard n even if I didn't have Crohn's disease this is still going to be hard but I found out how hard it actually could be. I decided to do a light workout one day at the gym. A little bit of walking on the treadmill listing in just a few weights. As soon as I got home I nearly passed out, I was blacking out I was dizzy my breath wasn't in my chest right I was feeling extremely weak and fragile. So I drink a drink and I threw it right back up as well as dry heaves afterwards because there is nothing in my system. I texted my sister because she did this diet right before me so I asked her for her advice. She said that was not good and I should probably ease myself off of this diet. So that night I ate something small it was still healthy not fatty or bad for me in any way but it wasn't the diet food. I feel so much better right after that . For the rest of the night I just kind of took it easy. I got a nice nap in and I was perfectly fine. The next day I decided I wanted to continue the diet so I made a drink I felt so sick to my stomach after drinking it. It was like when you were a kid and you ate something and you got sick from it you were afraid to you did it again because you didn't want to get sick again. That's how I felt, you're supposed to have at least six of those drinks a day. But that day I only had 2. I just couldn't stand the taste or the smell of drinking anymore. But I didn't eat anything that day. The next day I decided to try again,but I only had water, the laxative tea, and mint tea. I realize this is not the point of the diet so today I decided to eat is small plate of veggies. I decided to quit early because I simply have no desire or want what so ever to even take one sip of the drink anymore. I was making myself more unhealthy then I was healthy. I lost the last time I checked a total of 7.4 pounds in 8 days. Despite everything that happened the last 2 days I feel great. Not tired or sick for lazy like how I do when I eat junk food. But I feel happy energized and cleansed even though I couldn't accomplish all 10 days. I'm so very proud of what I did get through and how much I did accomplish in such little time. If you decide to do this cleanse / diet I would say take your time drinking the drink but not too much time, do not go to the gym and lift weights, and don't think about what you could be eating think about what your going to look like and how you're going to feel!
