Letters
By now you should have received the letter you wrote to yourself during the cleanse (if you wrote one and gave it to me). Anybody want to share their thoughts or feelings upon receiving your own words?

i'll share something! up until july we did pretty well after the cleanse. when i got my letter i didn't have any really big feelings of disappointment in myself. however, in july we had two big family get togethers and i think i said this before, but usually when my family gathers its a party! i indulged in the beer and hamburger kind and various other noncleanse food stuffs! (prefacing, that i stopped eating chicken and pork altogether awhile back) all very tasty but tasting good is about where it ended. i don't know if anyone else has noticed this but i have observed now that after doing 2 cleanses, and trying to generally stay on track, that there are some foods i just can't eat anymore-it doesn't set with me well. one of them is red meat. and i use to be a big steak eater! now that being said, i'm still mulling over within, the spiritual aspects of deciding to never eat red meat again but until then i am very specific on knowing that the steak or burger i decide to consume is clean. in fact, and this big for me, last saturday i met my stepmom and 2 of her lady friends at longhorn for lunch, steak haven, right? i ordered a salad and a baked potato w/out bacon! and it was great!
and so in case any of you where also wondering, if i did the drive-thru thing, it was to get ice cream! :)

The letter to myself centered around quitting smoking. I'm happy to say that I have not had one puff since I quit smoking. I can't say that I haven't been tempted.
The chest pains I had are mostly gone. I'm very happy about that fact.
I didn't expect the depression or the lack of energy. I feel like I have hit a wall. I'm just beginning to feel better. Everyone keeps telling me that I will be just fine in about a year. I can't wait. (7 more months to go).
Gina, I really appreciate you hosting the cleanse. I didn't think I had a chance in hell at quitting. I wouldn't not have been able to do this without your support and the support of the kula. Thank you to everyone!
There are many many positives that come from the cleanse!! Love and Light, Mike
Hey Shannon,
I ate for the first time at Longhorn yesterday with some new bridge friends. As I was powering down my rib-eye steak, I was wondering why I was getting full and bloated. Going home afterwards continued and wanted me to take a nap on the floor. The cleanse changed my eating habits. My olds ways are not working.
As i read my letter it reminded me of how good I felt at that time and of how easy it is to slide back into well not so good habits. Some things have really stuck like my craving for vegtables but some like coffee have returned. I still practice yoga everyday and write in my journal once in a while. Baby Steps. I'm not where I want to be but I'm not where i used to be but Thank God I am on my way! Looking forward to the next cleanse and what it teaches me. Each one brings on a new element!
