"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"

Day two of the cleanse is nearly complete.

At about three this morning, though, I wasn't certain I'd make it this far. I was jolted out of an otherwise restful sleep by a blisteringly brutal headache. I laid there for about 45 minutes before dragging myself out of bed for a glass of lemonade, though it provided no immediate relief. At about 4:30, I somehow managed to fall back asleep. When Stacey woke up at 5:30, I had her get me some Tylenol. Although it wasn't on the allowable ingredients list, I had to have some relief. At eight, I woke up feeling much better.

But, now that I'm feeling normal again, I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to do this. Aside from a newly acquired power of seeing through women's clothing, I haven't experienced any tangible benefits — just smelly hands from all the lemon squeezing and a lack of sleep due to last night's pretend hangover. I don't really feel hungry, but I do have a lingering feeling of unsatisfaction associated with the absence of fats in my diet, I suppose. The package of chocolate chip cookies that Stacey's grandparents left on the counter all day today didn't help much either.

Also, as I've learned more about this regimen, I read a few online accounts where people mentioned seeing worms in their stool.

I'm not sure if that makes me want to quit or keep going indefinitely.
