Hello everyone!!
After a month pre-cleanse, I completed my level 3 fast a few weeks ago. Now I'm into my 6 week post-cleanse. What a liberating yet humbling experience.
First of all, I can't believe I went 5 weeks and 5 days without eating even one bite of anything that was bad for my body! I have NEVER gone that long eating ONLY healthy foods. And, it was because I wanted to. I didn't feel deprived or restricted, and I wasn't wishing for the time to go by so I could eat junk again.
When I did decide to eat a zucchini brownie that I made for company, it was planned and I am very mindful of my eating patterns now. Best of all it was guilt free because I feel in control and I know that my good habits are formed and that I'm traveling the cleansing path.
When I began my level 1, I weighed 130-134. I am 5'4". Now I am holding 125-127. That doesn't seem like a lot, but it's enough to where my clothes aren't tight. I also was having some pretty low days where I felt down right depressed. I know it had a lot to do with my negative thoughts about my body image. I seriously was obsessed with my weight all day long, and I wasn't satisfied with my self even though I ran marathons and looked fit and healthy. I was never thin enough.
Now, 8 months later, I never dwell on negative self talk. I feel happy and content with who I am, and I'm more positive with others. What else could anyone want? I also suffered from allergies - I had a major allergy attack after my level 2, and since then I've had no sign of them. A healing crisis I'm sure. I have also noticed that my chronic muscle soreness is gone and I have even energy through the day. I've learned how to excercise smarter.
Cleansing is the way to go, because when you see the dark, mucousy crap get flushed down the toilet, it frees the mind, and eases the burden of toxic organs. I know I have a lot of cleaning to go, but I have a lifetime to practice and gain excellent health.
This level three is a huge health leap, and Jos-hua and the group were there for me every day.
Thank you HPS,
