A Slimmer, Healthier Me: The Will Power!

A Slimmer, Healthier Me

This is about me and my weight loss journey. I am not only losing weight, but I'm also removing toxins from my body. Post my diet, I will be following a structured healthy way of eating, which I have been following before the Master Cleanse or Maple Syrup Diet. The thing is, I'm not exactly fat - but I have gained quite a bit of weight which I would like to lose. During my 1st cleanse I managed to lose 22.5lbs /10.2 kg and learn a lot. I'm into my third cleanse now.

The Will Power!

Since the last cleanse I have done really well in mantaining my weight. Don't go thinking I'm eating vegetables everyday or whatever you perceive as healthy eating. To be quite frank, I have just been eating whatever . . . But having said that, I never used to eat bad food.
I had a piece of cake at a party (usually, never eat cake)
Had Pizza, twice
Had a mini burger from McDonalds
Had ice cream once
Other than that, I eat the usual stuff - not so much bread or starchy things that fill me too much. I tend to get bloated with that and now my body says no and I say no (if that makes sense).

Overall, I have been feeling great and wish I had the will power to do this at the start of my summer break, because I would have reached my goal by now. I have dropped 2 dress sizes and everyone I see comments. Bare in mind they have no idea I was on the cleanse. So it is really amazing when I get people commenting on how much weight I've lost, I feel really good inside. When shopping I don't feel depressed anymore, because things actually fit me. So I'm planning a shopping spree of some sort, in my goal size. i.e the clothes might not fit me just yet, but they will when I'm done.
I don't really want to buy anything in my current size because in 15 days I might be smaller than this, however the big deal is "will power". I have tried twice to go back on the cleanse and my brain says "eerrr no". So I'm not sure what to do anymore, well at this point anyway. I'm on a much busier schedule and one of my ideas was to just eat less, although I'm doing that anyway, it doesn't happen quick for me (the weight loss I mean).

The other idea was to go on the cleanse and only flush and do tea on Fridays and Saturdays when I'm home. That could work. Maybe I should start as soon as I have all my cleansing shopping, as I need to top up on tea and syrup - and probably a bottle to disguise what I'm drinking when I'm out. So 20 Days could be an idea. It's just the number that springs to my mind. Or when I reach 47kg /103.6lbs.
I know I'll gain a few pounds, as I gained 5.5lbs last time so that's why I have lowered the goal weight.

So, let me stock up on tea, syrup, lemons, a bottle and I'll start as soon as everything is here. Maybe I need to pray for strength . . . . I just don't have the will power this time, and without it, it wont happen.
