eww eww eww eww (repeat 1000 times)

I think I've finally found a way to permanently ruin my appetite. Like I mentioned I am doing this gallbladder cleanse, and I made it through three days of drinking just apple juice and water. Tonight (the third night) I had to drink a half cup of pure olive oil. Oh god just remembering makes me nauseous... Plus I still taste the olive oil. It was so disgusting, oh so nasty. I calculated it and it is more than 100 grams of fat!!!!!! Barf. Then I had to follow it with a 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice (that actually tasted good at first but ewww too) and then go to bed and lay on my right side for 5 hours. I have to put a pillow under my hips to slant so it's impossible to sleep. Also I feel totally gross and nauseous.

All I have to say is I had better see results tomorrow! If you want to see what gallstones look like, here is a link to the page of the cleanse I did with photos.

Yesterday's blog got a good comment from Lee, about my body being out of whack:

it occurred to me that your body (and brain) are trying to tell you something's out-of-wack nutritionally. The more I read of your posts, the less inclined I am toward believing this is strictly an ED issue. This sounds less like an inability to control your food intake and more as if a part of your brain literally believes you are starving.

This is a really good point, and something I've heard before, but now that I want to get better I really need to address it. Just as I've been pampering my back lately, I need to pamper my body nutritionally...

PS eww gross eww gross eww gross

GROSS!! There is NO way that stuff came out of anyone!! Particularly a MAN! NO WAY!

EW EW EW.

Well, you're going to have to keep us posted, Sweetie! Since you've been doing it religiously, I guess we'll soon know if it really works or not.

Yikes - better you than me, though!

bleh!!! a cup of olive oil, gross! Well this organic detox sounds better than the banana rice thing. Really, bananas aren't great for keeping weight down, but if you can handle them without bingeing more power to you! Lol, today during class (this was my 4th day of abstinance) I was craving a banana covered in peanut butter, dipped in chocolate. I've never had such a thing, but isn't that crazy? If you're still eating organic, CLIFF makes these great kids all organic pb bars great for a snack, just don't buy the whole box! Hey, I hope this treatment worked for ya and things pass....the olive oil should help. Send me a pic of your baby kitty!
