Obviously, cutting down carbs doesn't work for me.

I tried once again to cut down my carb intake the past couple days. As a result, today I consumed every carbohydrate that wasn't nailed down. Note to self: let's just keep consuming the normal amount of carbs and deal. I looked in the mirror this evening after my binge, and this is what I saw:

So as per my usual, I just took 3 laxatives. I have a final tomorrow in psych class. This should be fun.

And speaking of psychology, my little sis sent me a fun pic on Facebook:

I tried to explain to Little Sis that aside from Rocky Horror, Enchanted, Crybaby, pretty much all Disney movies, Phantom of the Opera, Hedwig, Moulin Rouge, all Marilyn Monroe's movies, and Chicago; I totally don't like musicals, and am personally offended by her wall post.

So I may possibly go to Atlantic City tomorrow evening after the final, and stay until Saturday. My friend Cheryl got a room at the Showboat for her girlfriend Lisa (who is also my cousin) and Lisa's friends. Their relationship is currently on the rocks, apparently, and so Lisa has declared that Cheryl may not stay in the Showboat after 5pm Friday, when Lisa and her buddies are due to arrive. I find this a bit inconsiderate, as Cheryl is the one who booked and paid for the room. I'm going for free, and Lisa has no problem with my presence, so I'm just going to refrain from comment.

Saturday, I plan to kick off the Master Cleanse with a salt water flush. Must do a shopping trip for my lemons, or possibly the most organic and additive-free lemonade I can locate, as I am 1.) quite lazy, and 2.) extremely poor. And of course the pure maple syrup. I already have enough cayenne pepper, because I put it on pretty much everything. I'll keep y'all updated on the Master Cleanse progress! The betting pools are open. I give myself max 10 days, minimum 5 before I either break down or just get bored. Little Sis gives me 2 days. Mum gives me 1.

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!
