Final day of the cleanse

So here I am 4 1/2 days into no food or drink outside of water or juice. I'm in the final stretch of this five day cleanse and I did it. To be clear I may set the 'end' of my cleanse this evening and call it a success. Really what's the difference between Friday night and Saturday morning? So you wonder, what I have I learned in this process: 1) If I can do this, I have proven to myself that I am motivated to get my weight down and start taking control of my health. 2) I am still the person that can do whatever I want if I put my mind to it 3) I have gained a sense of accomplishment and I don't want it to end here 4) I need to step back and do some things for myself. I have been more productive in other areas because I feel better about myself. So again, where do I go from here. Well, I will always be me and me means having a good time and enjoying life. That means trying amazing and delicious food and drinks! That said, I am going to work toward more moderation. I'll work to pack breakfast and lunch and make dinners during the week. I'll do my best to get up in the morning and get in a little exercise. I will work to be at a more healthy weight and an overall more healthy person. No matter what though, I am not going to overhaul who I am and things I like to do to fit into some perfect model of health and fitness. I am just going to be who I want to be. That's a person who likes to laugh, experience new things (whether it be new food, new cities, new arts, a sporting event), and not feel bad about it. Sometimes I feel guilty for being me and that's silly. I'm perfectly fine with the person I am, but every now and again, every one can use a few tweaks:)
