The Master Cleanse.

Okay. Here we go...
Obviously by the title you may already know what topic I'm about to tackle, *tun tun tun* THE MASTER CLEANSE. Yes yes I know it's horrible for your body, you're starving yourself not getting enough nutrients etc. etc. But let me explain.
So recently I have decided to take on the vegan lifestyle, for a number of reasons, non of which include weight loss. If you insist, I must clarify. I have been vegan for about almost 3 weeks now, and vegetarian for a bit before that. The reason for this is not only because I want to take a stand against animal cruelty (which is a major reason) but also because I believe my body is a temple and I should treat it with respect. As in I don't want to put any junk it in.. plain and simple. I can go on and on about this, because A) I have a never ending list of reasons and B) I just love to talk about it but this whole topic is another post on its own. Long story short, I actually enjoy being vegan the food is great, and it's honestly not that hard. My body feels different like I have more energy, and even though I'm still adjusting like I said it's a notable difference.
Now I'm not saying it's been a walk in the park, of course it has it's tough moments. Like when everyone goes out to eat and the place has no vegan food, I find myself bringing my own food and just missing cheese mostly. For that reason, I do have cheat days. (Don't judge me, I love cheese and I'm not perfect) So far I've only had 2 cheat days, and my cheat days are vegetarian I never go full carnivore. Ever. That feels completely wrong to me. I'm trying to ease slowly into veganism. But ANYWAY, I've ranted enough about that, a little background knowledge never hurt anyone.
Back to the Master Cleanse, come on bring it home.
The reason I want to try this cleanse even though I've heard all the negativity around it, and believe me I fully understand the pros and cons and I agree that the cons outweigh the pros, but I need to do this because I feel that since I moved to college I've put so much jumbo mumbo in my body that I NEED to detoxify. -___- Yes, I know "detoxifying" may or may not actually work! But I think this is more of a mental thing. Like I feel that I need to detoxify and start off with a clean slate, like new. Then I can feel completely confident in what I'm doing. I will feel like I'm actually making an effort.
I will be starting my Master Cleanse on December 1st, right when I get back from Thanksgiving break and I'm hoping I'll be able to do it for 40 days but right now I'm only planning for 14 I'll tackle each day at a time. Throughout this short journey I will be posting just as a little reminder to myself in the future of what I did, and of course to try and keep track! It's going to be super hard (I've tried in the past) but my mind is set and I'm doing this.
