Day three – Not that hungry

Today was a little different. I woke up and was truly feeling ill. I felt ill all last night. Mostly, it was something short of a stomach ache. It didn’t feel like hunger pain, nor did it feel like I ate something bad that was giving me an upset stomach. It was more in my lower abdomen, almost like a sharp pain to my side. Not sure what it was, but by morning it had subsided and by the time I went to the restroom and I finished my workout, it was completely gone.

Two things I noticed today, was first I wasn’t that hungry and second my face has changed considerably. I usually am hungry around the afternoon after a morning of fruit. But today this was not the case. I started to make my lunch salad and than noticed that I was making it without really considering if I was actually hungry, which I wasn’t. Therefore, I made a green smoothie (filled with parsley, kale, dandelion greens, and cilantro along with apples and bananas) and went out to run a few errands. About a few hours later, I drank it and haven’t really been hungry since.

I did get cravings though. Its so difficult to go out in the streets and see all the restaurants, hear all the adds for food on the radio, and see all the billboards with close up shots of cheesy this and bready that. I caught myself several times, redirecting my mind away from thoughts of sandwiches and pizza. This I find is so helpful. One thing I can attest to is that being on this is 90% mental and 10% physical. I spend more energy controlling my mind than anything else. If you don’t stop yourself from what seems like an innocent unthreatening thought of a cheese pizza, you find that your thoughts become reality soon enough. I have learned that as soon as I have these thoughts I focus immediately on the opposite. I focus on my uterus being clean, bright, and perfect. I focus on energy and the ability to have clear and positive thoughts, which is difficult to do when you body is acidic. If you don’t believe me, try it. See how you think when you eat the standard foods out there, even what is considered healthy but cooked or processed and when you are on raw. You will notice first hand you think differently. I continue to focus on other things besides food. I focus on being comfortable and at peace with a cleansed and rejuvenated body. I focus on being lean and taut. I focus on using my body to do the things I love, which is to dance, play tennis, and run. I focus on how wonderful it feels to always feel alive and refreshed, which is something you lose out on as soon as you eat heavy, acidic, cooked foods. I focus on my health and the fact that I will be living to an old age with complete vibrant health, and because of that all the wonderful experiences I can have that don’t have to end as soon as I turn 40…These are some of the things I focus on to redirect my mind away from cravings and temptations. Its like being an addict. You have to find other things to preoccupy your mind.
As for the change in my face, this has been considerable. I have experienced this before. All my water retention leaves my face and it looks like I have had a nose job. I have actually been accused of having a nose job. It appears that I hold a great deal of water retention in my nose. So naturally when I lose inflammation and water, my nose shrinks. You actually start to see the bone structure underneath all the inflammation. I usually takes up to a week on raw to see this, but with Dr. Morses herbs it comes quicker. I always feel that this is just a beginning. What would happen after the end of 90 days? Will I even look the same? Will my body be the same? I won’t know until than and I quess you will find out as well.

Well had a great day today…We will see about tomorrow… Oh yeah, I also lost three more pounds. This stuff is amazing…

My weight today is: 126.2 lbs.
