Blog: Time For a Change - My 100 day juice fast.
Another day done. I made it thru. My husband decided to stop his fast as he has been unable to concentrate on his work. He would have stuck with it if I wanted him too, but I'm thinking it might be easy to continue with him off. He will then be able to help more with the kids meals. Also, he will be able to encourage me more because he isn't fighting his own battle. We will see if I'm correct.
My kids had friends spend the night, so I had to make a dinner for them all. That was tough. I made a spagetti casserole and it smelled so good. I think the even harder part is putting away the left overs. I'm so use to just popping whatever I want in my mouth whenever I want it. I've never denied myself anything I've wanted. And it shows. So now I need to learn self control and to not eat emotionally.
I'm not sure I will make the 100 days. Right now I'm shooting to continue until May 22. The day before my 40th birthday. I will try to stick to a vegan diet for a week then start another fast. I'm not sure. It will depend on how I'm feeling then. But I know giving myself a closer deadline will help with my motivation now. If I can get to the point where I am feeling okay, then I think I can continue longer.
Day 16 is done and on to Day 17.

when i did my 30 day fast i was given some very kind words of advice "this is the best gift you can give yourself". it was hard for me at first to know what these words meant i definately started the fast with one main goal and that was to lose weight. i also never denied myself anything and it resulted in me gaining a lot of weight over a period of time. i just got to the point i no longer felt like me in my body. so i decided to juice for to get me started on a road to better health and really better life. i got thru the first week of the fast and my attitude was pretty bad then those words of advice came to me and i thought this is not a gift this is a nightmare. but finally on day 12 something changed and i really understood that it was a fantastic gift i was giving myself. i was saying it was time to look after me. and now 2.5yrs i know that 30 day fast has changed my life. so i hope you can look at it like that too. it is an amazing gift, be positive and enjoy. it is hard but maybe try to think of it more like a gift than a task.
you are doing so well and i think you will start to feel much better soon and then you will wonder why you havent done this sooner!
