Day 45
Christine here…Another early Sunday morning at the farmers’ market! Woke up wishing I could stay in bed longer, but there is no way I’m going to mess up our juice fast for some extra sleep. I am committed and actually excited to keep going all the way to day 60 and beyond. I already know I’ll be juicing as a daily nutritional supplement long after the fast comes to an end. I want to continue to experience all the health benefits that I am experiencing now. Today was an easy day for me. We got 3 juices in before 2PM, which makes all the difference as far as feeling satisfied. We tried a new juice today, watermelon, grape, plum. It was actually very refreshing! I have to say though that the whole seedless thing worries me cause I’m sure that means GMO. One thing we have to do is stop Monsanto from hijacking our food! That’s a topic for another vlog…
Mary Here… We were interrupted by the doorbell, so continued our discussion a few hours later…
I had a VERY similar experience when I lost a bunch of weight after having gastric bypass surgery nine years ago. I found myself looking in the mirror and was literally frightened by seeing a stranger looking back at me. I can’t even describe the emotions involved there — it wasn’t ME I was looking at because I had come to accept the fact that I would always be an obese person. I had to stop looking in mirrors, and that may have been one of the factors that led to my regaining some of the weight (perhaps to return to a familiar and “comfortable” place), but I am determined to get it off again and will work through these emotional issues that pop up–it only took me 46 years to grow up. 🙂
Day 1 of my juice fast began today, but I did a couple of weeks of prep beforehand so it doesn’t seem so horribly insurmountable. Thank you for posting your videos and blogs chronicling your journey…they’ve been very helpful and of course inspirational.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I feel that I was completely emotionally ready for this experience and all of the changes feel right. I am having a deeper understanding of myself each day and I’m letting go of my old beliefs about body, weight and age. I wish you the best with your juice fast. If you’re interested in some new information look for videos of Dr. Bruce Lipton on YouTube. Keep us posted on your progress! Christine
