Day one to day ten.. this is just too easy!!

No cravings? No withdrawal? No suffering? What the hell is going on?

Well, so far I am finding that the theory is, for me at least, working a treat!

Having handed control and authority over to 'body' I have found that it has kind of possessed me.

Body has got used to being in charge and informs that it could get used to this arrangement (Gulp)!

It now feels as though my mind has given up to a large extent, trying to control and change it's state and has become much more passive and peripheral.

I have been around all the substances, food and drink that I would normally crave, but find myself completely uninterested in having both them and their effects running around my bloodstream and brain.

As I predicted, remaining sober in the evenings has allowed me to remain very alert to what I eat and drink, checking everything with body first and eating by the mouthful rather than the plateful. This has resulted in a loss of 3 kilos of weight over the ten days!

This is very exciting as I am moving towards my ideal weight much faster than I imagined I would.

Some other physical symptoms of excess that I had experienced daily, and that have disappeared over the ten days include;

indigestion, chest pains, wheezing, coughing, headaches, dizziness or wooziness and head fogginess.

I have also had a reduction in blood pressure and fatigue (although sleepiness still hits me in the afternoon as my brain adjusts to life without THC), and although this is yet to be checked, I would wager that my cholesterol is heading down as well.

Other changes have occured due to increased mental clarity including feeling more balanced in my mood, generally calmer, more able to deal with work and personal projects and hobbies, feeling less stressed, and more stimulated and energised to follow through with ideas and tasks.

All this is having a great effect on my family and friends who are enjoying the game (I mean experiment), and their support and interest is causing a positive feedback loop, increasing my resolve and single mindedness even further.

To be honest, the only thing that is worrying me is that I will not want to start using all the 'fun stuff' that body gets to reject after day 100 has arrived.

I will keep an open mind and stick to the plan. Feeling this good could become quite addictive!

As a general process, I am mindful that I personally was very ready to begin this project and that it may be more 'me' than the theory that is making it work. In other words, I was really ready and I think that has had a lot to do with the apparent effortlessness of the endeavour.

So begins the next 10 days, let's see what happens over that period.

See you then.
