Day7 - end of 1st week of defluffing
So, to all of you that look at my pics, you may think I have nothing to be happy about, but let me tell you I am thrilled!!! You may wonder . . . I have been doing this fiber cleanse and let me tell you by last night my belly was HUGE! I laid on my back to show my husband and even lying down I looked 6 months pregnant. I also had a friend stop over and I showed her, well after she was done laughing hysterically she said I looked like Alfred Hitchcock. I just don’t think my body could handle the fiber and things were just backing/swelling up. I talked to my chiropractor and he gave me some probiotics to take, which I started right away and I drank the herbal laxative tea last night that’s included with the cleanse. This morning I decided to stop the cleanse. Not only was my body reacting in a negative way, it was really bad for me mentally to see the increase in size in my belly. Not exactly defluffing.
I was hesitant to post these pictures because it seems I may look a bit bigger but I don’t think I’ve gotten rid of the week’s fiber yet. So, today I am happy that I don’t have the HUGE fiber belly anymore and at least I’m relatively close to where I started last Friday. I’m ready for a fresh start!

Keep experimenting, keep working hard, keep enjoying the journey. Keep defluffing.

Fiber can do some unpleasant things to your GI if you don’t introduce it slowly How many grams were you eating a day?
Good thing on stopping it, it sounds like it wasn’t agreeing anyway!!
So, yes. A fresh star!! We still have five weeks! Plenty of time,my friend!!!!

Fiber does the same thing to me! (I’m a new de-fluffer btw…its very nice to meet you!
If you ever find a cleansing that works I’d love to know about it. My best friend and I tried one - fruit cleanse - she became ill and I was just down right mean! I was so crabby! lol!

considering it was I who mentioned it to you. Who knew you would react that way! I feel horrible. But glad to know that the fiber is on its way out.
Keep moving forward girl. keep the eating the pantry to a minimum and you will do great

Okay, I’m sorry to say that I totally laughed with the Alfred Hitchcock reference! BUT - I’m glad that you aren’t feeling all bloated and stuff anymore - that definitely sounded worrisome!!
You look awesome, chica, and I hope you have a great second week!!

whoo hoo for you! I know exactly how it feels to have a bloated stomach and be backed up. Maybe it wasn’t for you…on to clean eating and excercise. If other people could do it, you can too! Forget the cleanse. Let’s sweat this fluff out!

I have tried a million - well maybe not a million, but around 50 — cleansing products and while some are better than others basically the weight lose is water weight and doesn’t last very long, so good for you for listening to your body. You’ve got 5 weeks of eating clean and exercise in front of you and a great support team. So, you are well on your way to shedding the fluff. Stay positive!
