Day 9 - A Rollercoaster Day

   Today has been an up and down day.  I woke up with a migraine (never fun).  I did sleep a little extra but since Spring Break is over I did have to get up and get my youngest two off to school and then time to home school my oldest.  I was SOOOO hungry this afternoon and I have lost my taste for lemonade.  Anything and everything sounded good...even a cracker crumb looked good....I must be getting ready for food.  However, I can't get to far ahead of myself because we still have to BREAK the fast which requires some more time.  One more day of lemonade then we start drinking orange juice, by Wednesday we'll be feasting on some homemade Vegetable Soup.
   Tonight I am doing much better, I feel full and although I would enjoy eating some food about now I feel satisfied.  I must say that this has been a great exercise in self control and I am reminded of that every day.  It's been great for me.  I realize now that if I can say no to food for 9 days already then I can say no to those foods that I don't need when I'm finished with this.  
   In the last two and half weeks of working on my weight loss I have lost 15 lbs.  It seems like a lot on paper but on me it doesn't seem like much.  Although my "big" clothes are falling off now and some of my 'small' clothes fit just fine.  I plan to continue with Weight Watchers once I finish up the Master Cleanse and I'm not going back to soda because I know that it just causes me to keep the on those hard to lose pounds ;)

Day 9 ~ 8 lbs lost
