Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Hello everyone! I am new to the group and today is Day one for me of my 28 day bowl cleanse. I am a little nervous because I have had many issues with my bowels and I have had constant IBS. My normal schedule is only once every three days so this may be new territory for me. But I am excited to cleanse myself and to continue the readjusment of my lifestyle and nutrition choices. (I only need to convince my significant other to do the same-but that is the next challenge) I am a little worried about providing enough variety in the things that I eat. I get a little bored with the same thing over and over, but luckily I like just about anything. The reasons why I am doing this are many but mainly because I have never been " regular " , I have had recurring yeast issues in the last few years and I developed an annoying chronic cough that I haven't been able to rid myself of for over four years. Not sure if all of this is related or not, but I am sure in some way it is. In the last few years I started praticing Yoga, which has been a godsend and slowly changing my diet and perceptions of food. I am a sugar and meat junkie and always have been. Processed food as well. I still can't completley avoid these, but I find myself making better and better choices. Eventually I will wean my body from them. I have never felt better in my life than I have in the last few years, although I have my moments. I have also always suffered from chronic fatigue and I suspect that I may have fibromyalgia, although I have not yet fully investigated that yet. I also have had many many issues with my reproductive system. I have severe endometriosis and have had two surgies to " clean up " in there. And I am only 27 with no children. I want children someday and I am very worried about maintaining a healthy uterus and ovaries. I suffer from infrequent headaches, but only after I drink too much caffeine. The good thing is that I hate pop (or soda) but the bad thing is that I love coffee. Although I limit myself to one half a cup a day and none while I am on the cleansing diet. My true weakness comes at night when I am too tired to prepare a fresh meal and I end up making a processed bag dinner or eating out. That is a habit I am working hard on changing. Anyway, I am very excited to be in this group. I apologize for the length, I guess I have more nutrition issues than I thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
