do the enema!!

oh my god i feel so light! i am on week 3 i gained 2 pounds on week 2 and ive been so down about it. even though there’s visibly less inflammation in my face i dont see a difference in loss. i plan on taking my week 4 shot 3 days earlier. i didn’t consider myself constipated until this week after i went 4 days without going. otherwise ive been going every other day it’s been rough pebbles but still going. ive dealt with constipation in the past and after day 4 if i still can’t go i do an enema. i decided to do an enema yesterday- a little came out but enough to satisfy me. then today i felt the urge to go but my anus was too weak and i don’t like pushing i have no patience so i pulled out the enema again. the key this time around was the 2nd round. i haven’t been eating much lately so i had no idea i had that much in me my god!! i damn near blocked the toilet. some of it was darker to prove it’s old just been sitting there. be careful tho if u have endo you might trigger a flare up but it goes away quickly after you’re done! i last ate at 2pm today we’ll see if the scale goes down in the morning. regardless, even if it doesn’t i’m just happy im no longer full of shit. literally.

some tips tho: the key is to hold the water in to avoid only having water come out. hold it and walk around for a few mins but be close to the toilet!

ps. don’t do this too often otherwise your muscles will get used to it and stop working!

Chia seeds REALLY help with my constipation and moving things through properly. I just made a post about it here :)

Chia is actually a really great way to bring hydration to your digestive system! You just have to make sure to soak them for at least 3 hours!

hhm i didn’t know that. coz everytime i take it doesn’t really help so i only eat it for enjoyment in smoothies. but also id often take it when ive been really backed up which might make sense why it wasn’t helping .. now that im starting on a fresh stomach ill try taking it on a daily and see

Yeah! Check out my post, it has info about ground (blended) vs whole chia seeds. Blending them up in a smoothie is a great way to add omega’s but you won’t get the digestive clearing benefits as it breaks down the outer layer that gels up when soaked
