Arrow RFC R.A.W. DE-Tox event

Hi all..... yup its moody me again!!! I don't like this feeling but at least I do not snarl at people.... I would just be a little slow and not be so chirpy and hyper as always.... and I feel I need to do a cleanse. I feel my body is screaming out for a cleanse.

I fast frequently but this time round I feel I need to have some support or another. I would usually not announce that I am fasting but again, this state that I am feeling has made me rather vulnerable... but also, I got this email from Newstarget - 'Take Part in the World's Largest Online Nutritional Detox Event: Over 1,000 People Now Participating'.

I would love to join that but by the time I get the products it will most probably be towards end of December. So I thought how about starting a R.A.W. (raw around the world??) DE-Tox event right here in RFC!!! You can do whatever cleanse style you wish..... it would be a great way to greet the New Year with a great cheer.... no??.... anybody with me.....?? hellooooooo......

I'm IN & have already been doing my research.

1. thinking about bombarding misslinda w/ some questions.
2. reading through fasting on curezone.

How is your day going so far, Aisah? I believe it must be 1am over there though... so you must be in your nest tweeting asleep silently. yes?

I'm with you

I had decided this morning to do the master cleanse for 10 days. I plan to start on the 10th because I need to prepare physically and emotionally. The last time I tried doing it I had such bad headaches that I quit, but I didn't prepare my body and mind for the cleanse that time. So, I'm with you for 10 days, Tweety, starting 4 days from now.

Me, too!

I just started my third MC program on December 2nd and plan to stay on it until December 23rd for a total of 21 days. Right now, I feel great.

I am following the program to a T except that all my lemons are being blended in my Vita-Mix this time around. Please know that you can even include some or all of the pulp if you wish, though Stanley Burroughs does say that tends to increase the intensity of detox.

Of course, I peel the outer skin of my conventional lemons (toxic) and try to get rid of many seeds (bitter) as possible. Just put one whole lemon for each 16 oz (2 cups) of distilled water along with 4 TBS of Grade B Organic Maple Syrup and 2 tsp of Cayenne Pepper in the Vita-Mix and then blend.

Yummy!

That sounds cool, are we going to have a start date? Is it going to be like whatever we want, like a water/juice fast or mc or well whatever else?

Yes Firicia, it is an anything-goes fast - the aim is to put the digestive system at rest so the mind and body, hence the soul can benefit from this abstinence. It is also a start anytime during the month of December so as to greet the New Year with a New Cheer - I believe and I am sure most others would, the body is happier when it is 'rested'.... so ja, holiday season for the body as well, going to be hard but nobody said it cannot be done....

Its easier with like-minded people doing this.... thank you all for joining - its nice to know that you are A. not feeling crappy alone B. not doing this cleanse alone....

All the best and let's do keep each other up on this and yes, its 40 minutes past 6 in the morning and I have not had anything yet apart from my usual morning drink and I will perhaps have a carrot and apple juice much later for I have to go for classes now.....

My best to you and all, love love ~ aisah

Morning or evening, Aisah! Hope you will have a great day today. What kind of cleanse are you planning on embarking on?

Coonlie will be doing the MC in 4 days. That's how I am. I've been doing some reading and just prepping myself for a cleanse. Will you be doing lemon or lime?

Rawbie is way ahead of us! *waves from the back here!* I'm going to catch up soon!

IT'S CLEANSING TIME!

hmmmm I will be doing juice juices fasting..... just had my apple/carrot juice and that felt soooooo good..... but I will have to be strong because Mr Hunger is calling but of course I know he is not true Hunger, he is just some other feelings, probably Mr Boredom or perhaps Mr Escapism or even Mr Habitual, so ja, I will have to be on this mentally..... focus aisah focus.... because he is already calling me while I was having classes

So please help me god.....

I will have to read up on MC...

Thank you all and here's wishing best to each and everyone of you!!

JustMe, I'm thinking I may start the MC as soon as tomorrow. I just feel that my body is needing the cleanse so badly and I feel like I'm ready and don't want to wait 4 days. I'll see for sure how I feel in the morning. I've been preparing emotionally today and I think I'm ready to go.

Rawbie, thanks for the MC tips. It does help to know others are doing this, too and if you can do it, so can I.

Asaih, I like the personalization of Mr. Boredom, Mr. Habit, Mr. Escape, and for me, Mr. Emotions also. Just thinking about it that way, and that it's not Mr. True Hunger, will help me! I need to recognize those imposters who make me eat when I'm not hungry and get them out of my life.

there's a saying...

Our body is the temple of our soul!


we shall not let mr. escapism, mr. habitual or all the other mrs. who are not TRUE mr. hunger deviate us from keeping our temples wondrously beautiful!

best wishes everyone!

You guys are all so... inspiring!
Asiah I love that you put a "name" to the temptations or feelings that would try to hinder you, what a wonderful way to think about it so that you can overcome them! Way to go!!

'tis was a lonely quiet Friday evening.... I have done my work and am unwinding.... I heard a knock on my (mental) door.... looked through the peep-hole and saw Mr Boredom.... I asked what is that he wanted.... his reply was sweet and simply.... boredom needs company, as in misery loves company.... so I thought no harm in letting this poor Boredom guy in. Sat him in my living room and I gave him some of my juice..... he took some sips and went... 'aisah, this juice is nice but its not enough to satiate my ever-desire for some munch and crunch'.... obligingly I served him some crunchy apples and without thinking my hand reached for one and before I knew it.... I was munching on the apple.... yes I was mad at myself but at the same time I am not... I don't want to be too hard on myself but I have to get this going

Seriously guys, I need you to KICK ME IN THE BUTT!! Don't be nice and say its okay aisah for seriously I need to have some mental focus.... lately things are not easy, and I cannot believe starting a fast would be difficult when it used to be as simple as a drop of the hat!!!

KICK ME AND KICK ME HARD!!!

I need some encouragement... some straight to the point note that makes sense to remind me how good it is to fast.... I love the feeling of fasting but to jump-start it seems someone almost impossible but I know it can be done.... so anybody.... shed some light please....??

Just so you know, I am drinking my juice right now. Its almost noon and I realizer I falter towards the night.... what am I to do??
