How I did it: I've wanted to do this for about 12 years, ever since I learned to knit. I've started dozens of afghans, but always get bored halfway through and never finish. I picked a pattern that was made up of squares that had to be sewn together when done. It's called a "Circles to Squares Afghan". I chose colors that I love (red, yellow, and green) so that I'd be interested enough to finish it. Then I just crocheted and crocheted and crochet… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I was very surprised that I wasn't too hungry throughout the cleanse--I always felt that my stomach was empty, but I didn't feel like I was starving. I endured many temptations--McDonalds with the family, movie theater popcorn with my friend, birthday cake, etc. I went 10 days, and physically I felt like I could go longer. Mentally, however, I wanted to eat ALL THE TIME. My tastes definitely changed. I was craving vegetables and healthy g… Read how I did it…
