i just ate my first meal in 6 days. Europe was a whirlwind, if that whirlwind was trapped in a tornado reeking landslides. i was so cruel to my body in my pursuit of all that is fun. Derek and i had two shots of absinthe one night, decided that two shots were way too much and they pushed us over the edge so the next night we did four. one night i bought five packs of cigarettes. i don't if i lost some or smoked them all or ate them. i do know i ripped the cover off an umbrella and made a smoking carousel out of half a pack. you get the picture. so last wednesday i started this: Nature's Secret Ultimate Fasting Cleanse the first day was a preparation day and wasn't that bad. just juice, water, and about five cigarettes. my body was happy for the break. thursday morning was a little rough, but by the afternoon i was starting to feel oddly terrific. after that it was a walk in the park. sure, i had cravings and Pavlovian taco bell drive-bys, but i was never hungry....
