I woke up this morning and attempted a salt water flush, but I didn't get the expected results. I just felt full of liquid. No harm done, I've noticed, except a bit of time wasted. No matter, I have plenty of it anyway :) I must say I do throughly enjoy the combination of
water, lemon, maple syrup, and cayenne. I think I may have missed spicy things. It's also a wonderfully sparing way to use that expensive maple syrup I used to cover my vegan pancakes in. Fuck pancakes.

It's occurred to me, and this isn't the first time is has, that I'm also filtering my thoughts as well as my body and belongings. Throughout the day things will pop into my head like old food combinations I used to indulge in (i.e. meat, cheese, Ranch dressing, and crushed Doritos
on white bread), and it only makes me nauseous. The thought of it has to be conscious, then dismissed as bad and not to be tempting. It's just like when the toxins are leaving the body, they have to go through the bloodstream before they can find a way out, thus inducing detox symptoms. Toxins fuck you on the way in and the way out.
It also reminds me of the damage I inflicted upon my body and makes me more willing to press on. Then I consider the things I would like to consume when I come off my cleansing period (i.e. a mixed green, edible flower, and sprout salad). The fabulous thing is that none of this makes me crave solid food at all. Whether I was planning on eating it or enjoying the beauty of it is optional anyway.
