I completed my original goal of going 10 days on this cleanse, dispite the negative critisizum, being around food at my job and my attachments to food. It was a big struggle for me but i made it through and i'm proud of myself. I also almost crashed today but i stopped myself and I made it through.

Congrats Mike. You are always so positive towards everyone. You should be so proud of yourself.

Just wanted to share an accomplishment from this am. While out this morning, there was a older woman requiring medical attention. I went over to offer some assistance. She was having an allergic reaction to a bee sting.

Severeal people were gathered aroung her trying to comfort and support her.

I am a RN but I have been out of the hospital home raising children for the last 10 years.

While trying to assess her, I began to have panicky feelings. I could hear my voice shaking as I asked her questions.

I was still able to ask her if she was short of breathe, having any light headedness, or chest tightness.

I was able to give her benedryl which I carry at all times due to my food allergies.

After the EMT had come to take her to the hospital, my old negative thought process returned and I began to beat myself up over having panicky feelings, my voice shaking, what if thoughts.

But the new positive side of my thought process who acknowledges every accomplishment, no matter how small, took over. I was able to acknowledge my ability to help this woman, being able to assess her medical situation even though I was having an adrenaling rush, yes my voice was shaky and my heart was pounding, but I was still able to ask her pertinant questions, I had presence of mind to give her the benedryl to help with the allergic symtoms until the EMT's arrived. I was also ready to administer my spare epiniphrine pen if she began to go into anaphalysis.

And for me most importantly, I did not give in to the negative voice in my head that always berates me and makes me feel like a failure.

I may not have handled the situation without the racey heart and shaky voice but I did handle it. I am so very very proud of myself.

I'll be adding alot of quaters to my accomplishemnt jar this evening. Hurray me.

Thanks for listening. Take care and God bless.

Thank you.

Thats a great accomplishment you had today and you should be proud that you were able to help that lady.

I'd say you did a great job with this accomplishment thing but I feel like you are missing one part.

While trying to assess her, I began to have panicky feelings. I could hear my voice shaking as I asked her questions.

my old negative thought process returned and I began to beat myself up over having panicky feelings, my voice shaking, what if thoughts.

I may not have handled the situation without the racey heart and shaky voice but I did handle it. I am so very very proud of myself.

I'm mostly looking at the last quote...It sounds like you were expecting yourself to be completely calm in a situation that wasn't so calm. This lady could have gone into an anaphalytic shock at any time and this can be very scary. I realize you are a nurse and you may have had to deal with a situation or 2 like this while you were working at the hospital but how long has it been since you worked at the hospital? Give yourself a break. So what if you had those panicy feelings, that is normal to feel afraid in situations like that and you got through that and you should be proud of yourself for that too.

Besides finishing day 11, I actually had a nap today. I listed this because I have a hard time even relaxing and today i took a nap regardless of my limitation. I also felt really good after the nap too. It was a great accomplishment and I'm proud of myself.

I got through day 12. I also realized that my energy level being so low isn't so much about my digestion as it is more about my sleep. This is my lesson today and i'm happy that i now have the opportunity to fix this.

Good Morning everyone,
My accomplishment isnt a happy one, but an accomplishment none the less.
I asked for prayer earlier this week, my daughter lost a friend on Wednesday...toughest thing a 13 year old has to go through. Last night was the viewing and service for her dear friend.
At first she wasnt sure if she wanted to go, and to be honest it wasnt the top thing on my list that I wanted to do either. I didnt share that with her, only told her, what ever she chose to do I would be supportive 100%. The viewing was from 3-7, with a service following. Around 5:30 she got in the shower, got dressed and decided she wanted to go.
What a brave little girl I have.
My accomplishment.... being strong for my daughter, taking her, allowing her to grieve with her friends and with me, helping her to understand that its okay to be sad, miss someone,and still be able to go on.
I am so proud of myself and my daughter today for dealing with one of the hardest things a person/child could go through.

A request from the family- LOVE each other! LOVE your children and tell them every moment- LOVE your brothers and sisters- TELL them all the time- LOVE your parents and tell them often

I hope you all have a VERY wonderful day

I'm sorry that your daughter had to deal with that...it must have been really hard for her. It was great that you could be there for her as that is not easy.

My accomplishment for today.

I completed day 14..2 weeks on the cleanse and i'm feeling alright. I did this even though i'm wanting to eat so much...more psychologically...I'm not actually hungry at all.

I have even napped today again which still has been very difficult for me to do. I did it and i felt better afterwards.

Hey it's been awhile...but i'm back to revive the thread.

I got through 25 days on my cleanse...not eatting anything despite the struggles i had. I didn't achieve my goal of 40 days but I got really far and got alot of positive things out of the experience. I feel good for not beating myself up for not reaching my original goal and I also feel good for getting as far as I have.

I've being doing the meditation on more of a regular basis even though i've had alot of resistance to it in the past. I'm feeling good while i'm doing it and after as well. I'm proud of myself for pushing through my wall of limitation.

Mike
