If misery loves company then I wonder where my company is.
Yesterday was pretty miserable.
I'd like to know where I read or heard that it would get easier after three days...because it's not true. I was hungrier yesterday than I have ever been...makes sense in that I haven't eaten in 4 days. I guess I should be getting hungrier, no?
What I am also getting however, is lonelier.
I work at home...I have mentioned that in previous posts.
A couple of times a week I get together with friends. On Tuesdays I get together with two buddies for breakfast and nothing else but to sit around and talk about our weeks, our work and to encourage one another. I skipped it this week because ham and cheese omelets, hashbrowns and toast or the Kal Special, hotcakes, eggs and choice of sausage or bacon does NOT fit in the Master's, er, Master Cleanser's plan. Maybe they don't fit in the Master's plan, either. But, that's another subject.
Yesterday, my wife's high school friend came to visit the Bay Area (We
So...it was dinner with her friend, her husband and her husband's son. I got to eat water. It comes in two textures...solid and liquid. I ordered both. They had pork and veggies with fried noodles, hot pot with eggplant and steamed fish....a huge fish. I even checked to see if Jonah was still in there. I had another glass of water, then another, then another.
Yup, it felt pretty lonely watching them eat. My tongue thought so, too and the drool coming down my cheeks emphasized the fact.
It's no fun doing this cleansing thing when 'life' is going on around me...no fun at all.
Other friends called while we were at dinner and invited us over tonight...play a game, eat, watch them eat, talk, eat, watch them eat, solve the problems of the world, eat, watch them eat. Sounds like a great time.
I try to console myself by saying it will be worth it if I stick it out for 5-7 more days. But, right now, I only have myself to tell this to, oh, and this journal.
Thanks for reading.
What is/was the hardest part of the Master Cleanse for you?
