Guest guest Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I am so excited. I don't post often but I had a success that meant enough to me to want to share it here. I decided to do a colon cleanse to start preparing myself to have another baby. I chose one that my brother had done that was pretty intense and involved an 8 day program, 5 of which you were asked to fast for the best results. I chose that one and was a little nervous because I didn't want to feel depreived and then start binging as soon as I could swallow something again. I drank apple juice with a yucky powder enough during the day that I wasn't hungry very often but when I did get hungry, I permitted myself something to ease my mental and physical need for food. At first "I fell off the wagon" with 6 croutons and 10 crackers BUT by doing so I realized that I kept myself ON THE WAGON that way. I completed it successfully and didn't feel the need to binge when I started eating solids again. I listened to my body but still did the cleanse successfully. And yesterday being Halloween, I only ate one (full size) candy bar.... altho we have a grocery bag full of other goodies from my son's trick or treating... I love IE- it's so liberating!!!
