Close, but no Cigar - Chapter 4
So I got it up the ass on Monday.
I prefer Kristy, but Heidi was gentle. She wasn’t as effective and she was really into rubbing my tummy during the experience – I’m not certain if I like that or not. It’s been a long time and the initial insertion was a little uncomfortable, but I relaxed into it for the rest of the hour. I allowed her to pump it in for quite some time, but my releases were nominal. As usual, the copious amounts of water pumped into me left me shivering afterward.
Yes, yes. I took a colonic.
I first started taking colonics about 7 years ago, but when I decided to pay off my credit card debt, colonics were one of the first things to go by the wayside. I’ve decided to start taking them again because I’m recommitting to my health in 2006.
People are usually fascinated by the fact that I voluntarily take colonics – I guess pouring 15 gallons of water up your butt just seems weird to most people. I enjoy them because they make me feel cleansed. There are so many toxins and putrefied foods in our intestines. The food we eat in our society is filled with preservatives. We ingest so many chemicals. I don’t want to sound new-Agey or anything, but colonics just make sense to me.
One of the main arguments against colonics is that it cleanses out your good bacteria along with bad bacteria. The place that I go to, the Tummy Temple in Seattle, refutes this on it’s website, saying that most good bacteria lives in the small intestine and colonics only cleanse the large intestine. I, however, feel that in American culture, because we eat so much processed crap, have so much bad bacteria in our systems, that cleansing good bacteria out is a small price to pay. Acidophilus anyone? I guess I consider colonics chemotherapy for my digestive system. Except it’s preventive, not a treatment after you’re already sick.
Despite the fact that I’m a “fat girl”, I have almost no cellulite. My slim friends have plenty. I attribute my smoothness, to my detoxifying regimens. I take a massage once a month, eat plenty of fiber and I’m cleaning my colon again. I hope to do several this year. Colonics are just one of the steps I’m taking to lose weight and improve my health.
I’m taking other steps to lose weight too: Training for a marathon (note to self: must blog about that!). Severely limiting my processed foods. Exchanging my pop for tea and/or water. I’m still drinking coffee, though. Got to give myself something. I will start weight training after I’ve lost some weight – I really need to work on my muscle tone. And I’m eating mostly fibrous foods and protein.
The newly added fiber in my diet is quite effective. It should really help my next cleanse. I can’t wait to see what dislodges from my colon! Did I mention that earlier? That when taking a colonic, you can see your poo floating by? It’s totally cool.
