Almost there. It’s Detox Day 7. This is by far the hardest day. Tomorrow, I start adding foods back into my meager repertoire. Yes. Hallelujah. I knowwwww.
So, you won’t believe how excited I am for my breakfast: brown rice with raisins, cinnamon and cardamom (and a supplement shake, of course.) Mmmmmm….I’m salivating already. And, look how creative — I’m making a (semi) decent meal out of NOTHING.
Bitches! (not you. I mean, just in general.)
I’ve been in a bad mood all day. I think it’s part of the detox. I’ve, like, cried. My mom even said, “you look so sad.” I know it’s the detox. I was sad because I kept thinking about how shitty things are in the world. How all I want out of “Heaven” (if there is one) is everything I have, everyone I have around me in my life, MINUS all the shitty things in the world, and all the little to-dos. Life without anxiety, without anything to be anxious about, is my official definition of heaven. And, yes, lots of love and happiness. With no boundaries. No obstacles. No flipping anxiety. I know: deep thoughts. Stuff you think about when you’re in HELL!
The sucky thing about the detox is that I can’t even eat my feelings away. I have to deal with them. (So, maybe not so sucky?) Cry them out. Hence all the crying today. About every. little. thing. Must be part of the detox process. Part of my purification. Makes sense, no?
Anyway, if you want to perk up a girl who “looks so sad,” go check out my Cheaty’s Celebrity Gossip. There’s lots of gossip there. It’s funnn! Even though I suck right now.
By the way, thank you so much for your support throughout this detox. And, to answer a lot of your comments: “No, I’m not that strong. I paid for this detox. That’s my motivation. It’s money in the drain if I don’t do it. And that would mean a seriously displeased hubby!” xo Haley-O

You rock! Seriously…not eating even when you’re depressed and anxiety ridden. That, my friend, is will-power.
Should I know what cardamom is?

Yay! Day 7 and you’re still alive. I’m so impressed. You must feel AMAZING. Well, except being depressed. but, physically.
And, I always cry too when I am food deprived. I feel very bad for myself and get bitchy with my husband. Hang in there. That rice sounds yummy! (okay not really – but pretend)

I know this shit is hard, but dieting does not have to mean death or depression. Just work out and have fun with it, it comes off. I killed myself on past diets and ended up oddly shaped and titless, this time I am taking it easy, and making sure I have a balanced diet. It is working…. keep up your spirits babe…. Plus ummm, we see photos – you are smokin hot- whatcha worried about????

Almost over……wow. You’re AWESOME to have done this, and just look at that light at the end of this tunnel – you’re THERE. Crying comes from trying to deal with it all & needing an outlet – this, too, shall pass. Hang tough!!

Wow, and I thought that 4 day spinage diet a friend of mine did to fit into a bikini before we went to Mirtle Beach was wack. I bet she wouldn’t want to do that spinage thingy now that it is toxic.
I guess that would be a true detox diet, no?

Mmmm…. just eating my rice dish now — yes, breakfast at two (not Tiffany’s, TWO) — and it’s FAB! Maybe the detox really is working. This dish is YUM! And, there’s no sugar or anything unhealthy in it. Ta think!
Jenn said, October 11th, 2006 at 2:13 pm
Day 7, you’ve made it this far you can make it all the way. 7 means you’ve rounded the bend, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Hang in there Haley-O it will all be worth it!

you sure you’re not pregnant?
Homie Bear said, October 11th, 2006 at 3:57 pm
We’ve been watching Dr. Oz on Oprah a lot, and he’s really got us serious about changing some (many) of our eating habits. After this is all over I hope you give us a report on whether it was all worth it or not. Good luck, it shall all be over soon.
Haley-O said, October 11th, 2006 at 3:58 pm
Absolutely sure I’m not pregnant. Can’t do detox when pregnant. HUGE BAD. There are supplements (gross shakes — except if add banana — tons of pills…). So, nope. Nice try, though!
You’ll know when I get preggo again. There’ll probably be a lot of “is it okay if I eat green jujubes,” “is it okay if I use Herbal Essences new conditioners,” “is it okay if…?” “is it okay if…? Blah Blah bla!!!
