Master cleanse?

I'm thinking about trying the Master Cleanse. For those of you who are unfamiliar: it's basically drinking a weird concoction of lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper for 10 days straight and not eating anything at all, and also taking laxatives nightly or doing the salt water flush. Basically fasting and bowel-emptying under the guise of "De-Toxing."

And since the Master Cleanse has a legit website and books and junk, Mum cannot accuse me of making it up as an excuse to not eat. I shall go to the supermarket today and scope out the lemons and syrup and whatnot. And I need non-iodized sea salt, as I plan to do the salt-water flush anyway. I am probably the only freak in the world who actually enjoys the salt water. I <3 salt. 'Tis delicious!

Have any of you ladies (and gents ...?) ever done the Master Cleanse? Does it work? Does that lemonade-maple-cayenne stuff taste rank? It sounds like it could be either super nasty or kind of yummy... Do I really need to do the ease-in/ease-out thing? Because I am an impulsive and impatient sort of person, and the whole "doing things gradually" never really works for me. I'd rather rush in with guns blazing, wreak havoc, and then rush out again. It hasn't led me astray yet!

Again?!?

Two days in a row - giant fat ass.

Yesterday started out ok, but then after dinner we went back to a friend's house and I stuffed my face with junk food. The only consolation was the 700-cal workout I did in the morning, followed by a 90 minute hike up a mountain. But I still feel like I swallowed a hand grenade. My tumtum hurts. :*(

Back to the on/off switch - it is located in your lateral hypothalamus. It's a bit of a problematic spot as far as correctly destroying the right area. Do it wrong, and it could have the opposite effect: you may eat yourself to death. God speed, ladies!

Anyone have any ideas on how I might conceal a really adorable, cuddly pet snake? I love snakes, but Mum--for reasons I cannot fathom--will not allow me to bring one into the house. I know keeping a timber rattlesnake or a northern copperhead (my fav) might not be practical, but there are other options. Like the python I got attached to in the pet shop. It was red, and super adorable, and I carried it around for like half an hour while my friends looked at in-bred puppy-mill puppies. And yes, I know pythons get kind of big, but look at that face!


What a muffin! How could you resist?
