Food Optional

I'm on day three of the Master Cleanse. It's the "diet" where you drink only this lemonade made of lemons, maple syrup, cayenne pepper and water.  I've got another 8 days to go before I hit the recommended 10 days and right now I have no desire to eat - although I miss the concept of food. It's funny, I don't really have any cravings (except now and then) but I think about how much I would like a cup of coffee (because it's my morning ritual) or that planning for dinner is something I enjoy. The act of cooking and eating what I cooked.

But, I am amazed at my body. Amazed that I can actually go without food.  That I have gone without food for two days already. The secret is the cayenne pepper. That is what makes the lemonade feel like food. Here's to hoping I can keep it up for at least another day and maybe I'll make the full ten.
