Day 8! So Much Better Than Before :)

The last time I did this cleanse, day 8 was my worst day. I was almost climbing the walls out of hunger, frustration and irritation. The thing that was most annoying was that people told me that after the third or fourth day you wouldn't feel hungry anymore. That you would be so refreshed and energised. Yeah right. Day 8 was horrible! And the whole time I was hungry. Or so I thought...
What I've truly learned this time round is that I wasn't hungry beyond day 2. Obviously, you will have moments when you get hungry - just like you do when you're eating normally. In those moments though, drinking the juice takes the physical hunger away. You just keep drinking the juice. So while on this fast, I have been hungry, it dissipates upon drinking more. As I keep reiterating - the real hunger I was feeling was a mental and emotional one. That part doesn't go away. But that's where I feel really good about myself this time round. I haven't really let it bother me much. I have my moments, and trust me, I can't wait to eat again! But I can do this. And although I wouldn't want to, I could do this for longer. That's the biggest difference this time round. That's what is making this 'easier'. My mind is right.
As an update, I have finally seen, in a tangible way, that I have lost weight! My jeans are now gaping at the waist. Funny how it wasn't that noticeable all these days and then almost overnight it hit.
This definitely makes me feel good.
I'm in the home straight now! Only two days to go!!
