Starting a LIQUID--DIET

I know is like the chaos, and unrest of being in  the middle of a RiOT


 


The first twenty four hours you will be OKAY


Because before you begin, you are usually eatting and over eatting anything and everything that you know you can eat no more , anyway


 


So the second day


The going gets a little tougher i would have to say


 


But by the third day


You begin --ASKING---yourself, --in everyway, if on this mission and quest you wish to sacrifice all the pleasures  of so many foods in the world -and have the commitment and resolve of a ---liquid diet--- and --drastically,-  change and rearrange your life this a way


 


Then if you do make it to day four


You almost made it, to the shore


 


And day five


If you reached this milestone, you have your dream and mission in your heart and mind, and hope is alive


 


But its not smooth sailing


Not until really the tenth day you are still sticking to your mission and plan, and prevailin


But even this very moment in time for me -----at -MONTH--number--nine--and--days--of--a--nine-----i--have--to--tell--ya--its--just--not--easy--or--smooth--sailing--you--just--gotta--focus--minute--by--minute--and--keep--on--a--prevailing


 


But as for me i sacrifice my sleep


As twenty four hours a day, really my guard up i have to-- stay --focused --and --keep


 


All--- through--- the--- night, ---i ---will ---wake ---from ---my ---rest


I --will --drink-- gallons-- of --fluids --to --keep --my --body --nourished --and --hydrated-- at --its --best


 


So -usually -every -two -hours -i -have -to -urinate


This -is -the -price- you- have -to -pay, -if -success -you -wish- for -on -a -liquid -diet -as -your- fate


 


You- never- let -yourself- crave- and- get -hungry- at -all


Because -if -you -do,- you -will -slip--stumble,- tumble -and -regrettably-- fall


 


My daughter has a friend who is on a liquid diet and today is her day number three


She is struggling and from whole foods trying to break free


 


She is missing breads and her favorite foods of choice


I told my daughter to tell her to fall in love with every vegetable, and dream of cooking preparing each and every vegetable and healthily plan to eat and vegetables rejoice


 


For me i know i will one day be able to --1EAT-and-ENJOY-and-APPRECIATE-in-MODERATION-- every foods of my desire and choice


But as i said i have falllen in love with,  every world vegetable  and that is going to be the foods that i am going to love and rejoice


 


First and foremost for me, a habit of exercise i must reinstate


And the right foods primarily--whole--vegetables to be my life choice, if success is going to be my life fate


 


I have lost hundreds and hundreds of pounds in my sixty years and counting


And have always fallen off track and there you go, again and again gained it and more back, its a sad song too many a time i did a sing


 


But this is it, and the bottom of the line


 Im on a mission and a quest, and im a going to do it once and  for all this a time


 


So ---the ---minutes--- and ---hours ---and ---day ---by ---day,--- still ---is ---a ---challenge ---and ---a ---struggle ---and ---a ---FIGHT


But --the --days-- turn-- into-- night, --and --with --my --mission --in --my--heart-- and --mind, --the --night-- turns-- into --a --new-- day --with --a --DREAM-- so --brilliant-- and --BRIGHT
