I woke up groggy this morning, and then got a headache and still have it. I hope my body is doing some heavy duty cleaning; because I feel so low, fatigued, cold, weak, and lazy. My weight is still around the same, just goes up and down a few pounds. I guess that veggie broth hurt my progress. I won't have it again, I'll get back to my cold juices. My thinking has not improved about eating. I still want to eat what ever I want after the fast is done. The question is: will I let myself have what ever I want? Will I fall back into the horrible eating pattern I was in before? I was hoping to feel really good during and after the fast so that I would want to take care of my body better, but I'm not there yet. Right now I'm so close to giving up and eating. But, I'm hanging in there and won't give in. I've come too far to mess things up. I wish I would have a super-feeling-full-of-energy day. Maybe this week.

I had to kill my fast due to a vacation conflict. So I'll have to catch up with you in a few months.
Keep it up!
Best, PB

Hey, thanks!! You have a great story yourself!! I haven't lost anything in 3 days though, that's discouraging. Oh, well, I still have 13 days to go to lose more.
Thanks for the encouragement!

midge i know how hard it is....dont give up though. you will have better days. and when it is all over you will be so glad you did it. its only 30 days and your already over half way. i think i complained the whole way thru my fast and then when it was over i felt like it was hardly any time at all. but when you do have good days it makes it all worth it. also look at the progress you have made with your weight and other health benefits. the fact you have been strong enought to avoid eating is such a wonderful sense of power. you are in control of what you eat..you can do it!
from my experience the veggie broth can be an excellent thing. especially if you are cold, need a bit of heating up and if you are over the juices. if you make more dont add anything that is not natural. i used fresh herbs like parsley and cillantro, also fresh tomatoes chopped onion and crushed garlic for flavour with loads of green veggies. let it simmer for a long time. i would let mine simmer for at least 3-4 hours. i also used the MC lemonade with agave nectar, lots of herbal teas and some days just a straight water fast. i always come back to the juices but it was nice to mix it up a little.
i am really interested in your progress so let me know how things go. i hope tommorrow is one of those special juice fast days. good luck and stay the path. youve come so far it would be a shame to give in now. you can do it! you are strong enough and you want this bad enough to get thru the food cravings. worry about life after the fast....after the fast. get thru this part first. thinking of you. julie

Midge,
Just a quick chime in here. Part of my decision to start without ideal conditions was your blog. You do it, good--bad--good, and keep on going. You inspire me! Keep up until the end, you can do it.
