Blog: Juice Fasting: The Ultimate Battle Between Me & Myself
I haven't been able to write until now because I've been so busy arranging documents for my plan to go to Dubai early September. There's so much to do and so little time... Sigh...
Anyway...
Well, the good news is that I finished my 21 day juice fast. Though I didn't lose any more pounds after the 2nd week, at least I lost 13lbs in all. And I was okay with that.
But... Because I didn't plan my meals post-fast... I f***ed up... BIG TIME... I didn't just eat. I devoured whatever I could get my hands on. Though not meat. Mostly carbs. White bread with butter. I stuffed myself sick. And I've been doing that for 5 days now. Damn. I don't like the feeling of hating myself because I can't control... I hate being like this...
I fed my emotions. I know I did. Aside from thinking about stuff I have to do for Dubai, I've been feeling pretty down lately because this guy I used to see finally has a girlfriend. Damn. I shouldn't have let it get to me. Now, I feel bad because of him. And I feel bad because of me.
But, since I'm not one to beat myself up for something I cannot change... I will do something to improve my circumstances...
Tomorrow, I will start on a 7 (hopefully 10!) day water fast. And while on this fast, I will plan oh-so-carefully my meals post fast. A reason why I overate was because I didn't have a clue as to what to eat. I needed a plan, a good solid plan or program that I could follow and not divert from. I just need self-control. I wouldn't need to think on the spot when I'm eating again, which is very susceptible to tempations. So I will plan it and write it in black and white.
Tomorrow I will start over. I can do this. I know I can. Wish me luck.

We feel you. We're going through the same thing. I think it's easier for me to overeat because my husband is not around and I miss him terribly, and some other reasons. Remember, learning to eat well means building HABITS and that is hard and takes perserverance. It sounds like your plan to recover is a good one. Good luck and we'll be here for you!

great you did 21 days, focus on that. I admit after I did 3, 40 day juice fasts and got great benefits from each fast, that all of a sudden I went on a week long junk food binge, I ate double cheeseburgers with fries, ice cream sundaes etc and by the end of that week, wow, I felt fat and...... bloated!!!!!
I realized after 1 week of binge that junk food was not right for me and I immediately corrected my course and went back on a good diet, lots of fruit, good juices, small amount of salted fish, onions, garlic, pickles, pumpkin seed shakes, all good foods that parasites do not like.
I think a binge after fasting is sometime a common reaction, one faster broke his month long fast with a bucketfull of fried chicken!!!!!
Do not focus on the binge, focus on the 21 day success, the cleaning out of your system and the self discipline you learned. In the future we can all avoid bingeing by just being aware and planning ahead.
Good Luck to you.

| Thanks a lot! :) I guess you're right, maybe bingeing after a fast is common, and if you haven't planned for it, you'll give in.. I had thought, while on the fast, that I wouldn't crave any of the junk I used to eat since I've been having only juice.. I guess I was wrong. And now I know. :) I will plan and try to do better next time. Be prepared for the inevitable binge! Thanks again!
