Is cleansing cheating?

Well, after I emailed the whole family to tell them I'm a blogger now, and I danced around the house to Super Freak (still my favorite song of all time, thank you Rick James), I found myself in front of the scale. Again. And the stinkin' thing still says 120. What UP with that after four WHOLE days of dieting? (Okay, maybe 3.5, but still.)

So I was looking around the kitchen for some inspiration, and lo and behold (no, it's NOT "low" and behold, people), I have a box labled "Colon Cleanse." Hmmm. Now this is promising. It's even got a drawing of a colon on the box. Pretty unappealing, but they obviously know what they're talking about, right?

Turns out it is a tea ("pleasant peppermint" flavored) that I have ordered at some point -- probably while trying to get my atopic dermatitis (that's an allergic and very itchy eczema) under control (whole other blog). Brand new box. Untouched. I have dozens of bags. And I'm going to use them.

So what's the hold up? Well, the box says I have to brew and drink this stuff after dinner and then in the morning. I'm still at least 2 hours from dinner. But the urge is almost irresistible. What happens if I drink it now, Alice? Am chuckling just thinking about it.

Keep you posted.
