k...first time for me. Being here to this site and actually gearing up to start the cleanse. My sister gave me the book a few months ago, but I have not yet felt ready to try it. Suddenly the last couple of days it is all that I have had on my mind. I had actually forgotten that I had it. In the last week, food has been making me sick. The actual act of eating has made me want to hurl. I don't feel well, I am exhausted, I look awful and I want to so desperately make a fresh start. So here I am, lurky and reading the posts. Should I, shouldn't I?

I should, I can, and I will. Like I said, I am tired of feeling this way. I want to control my intake now. So here goes. My goal is to start on Tuesday (I have an appointment with my doctor, need his advice though he has mentioned it before). Tuesday is also the first day of my new class. It will last for 35 days. I hope to go for that long, but if I find that I am ready to end the fast then so long as I made it to 15-21 days then I will judge the cleanse a success.

I need the hubby on board, but so far he does not want me to do it. He thinks that my sister is unatural in that she is vegan. He loves meat and all that. What I have been gravitating towards is soy based products, raw fruits and veggies and tons of water. So I think that I am in the right place. If he doesn't like it, then that is his issue. I think that he is more concerned with the idea that I might not cook for him for the duration. Oh freakin well! He can learn to cook, this is for me and my health.

Thanks for listening/reading...
