This is not the cleanse for you~~at this time.
I hate to burst your bubble, but the truth is
that the
Master-Cleanse is a very significant detoxing
cleanse and the minimum for a good start is
ten days, 3-4 days to break from the fast,
and of course, hopefully changes in diet and
mental attitude to keep the good body maintenance
up~!
Since you have a reunion of some sort in 9
days, this would be a tremendous pressure
on you time wise, with the worst potential
effect being that you might find yourself
dealing with detox symptoms which could
easily stress you out. The 10 day minimum
is just that, a minimum. Often the body
will jump right into detoxing and is not
through detoxing even after a ten day
cleanse.
Of course this is your choice, but you may
do better to juice fast, which is gentler,
or sit yourself down and do a meditation
and accept that you are not defined by
your body shape and that those who care for
you will care for you no matter what dings
you may have accumulated since they saw you
last. You might consider spending the time
relaxing, and going and finding an outfit
which makes you feel great and which fits
well. This way, you can go to your reunion,
be able to eat and drink (moderately) and
enjoy your friends.
The Master Cleanse is a good way to segue
from a lifestyle where one is making poor
food choices, to one where your awareness
is heightened of what you are putting into
your body. If this sounds like something
you could use, come back after your reunion
and jump in~!
I wish you well~~
be happy, be well,
Zoe
