Blog: Juicing for 30 - take 2!!!
I'm feel better this morning. I took my weight and I'm only down a pound since Monday (it's Friday) but I'll take it, you know? I hope that now that I seem to be through that first serious detox that I see some more results, weight wise. I know you shouldn't compare yourself to other people, but it seems like I am losing much slower/much less weight than other people who are juice fasting. At this rate, I'll be lucky to lose 15 pounds in a month. Ten is more like it. And I was really hoping for more than that. But I'm just guessing that my thyroid has something to do with this. Plus, I have this more far out theory about the weight I'm getting into right now. This is the core weight gain, the weight that has dogged me for over five years now. It is weight that came from serious abuse to my body, and so much bad emotional energy is associated with that weight. It is like that weight is holding on for dear life, almost like my body is afraid to get rid of it. If I get rid of this weight that I have felt so strongly has been holding me back, then I have to confront the future, which is scary. It will be strange not having that weight on me anymore, because I've used that weight as an excuse and almost like a protective suit. I don't know, but I think it is going to almost take mental work to be able to lose the end of this weight - like my brain giving my body permission to let it go. But, as of today, I'm 21 pounds over my ultimate goal. I can't believe I'm so close. I started at the end of last September at 55 above my goal. I'm down 34 pounds.
Enough weight talk! As far as juice goes, I had some fruit juice this morning. I had carrot, apple, canteloupe, ad blackberry. It was good. I will have a vegetable juice for lunch, and probably a mixed juice for dinner. If I can get away today, I'm going to try to go out and get a wheat grass juice at a juice bar. I've never had one, but I thought it might perk me up.
I am feeling much better. My skin looks better, despite a couple of spots that arose yesterday in the detox crisis. But the quality and texture of my skin is changing. It looks clearer and nicer. My tongue is back to pink, not coated like yesterday. I also feel much more energy. It's nice.
I want to rest and relax today. I am off today, and don't work again til Saturday afternoon/night. I hope to make it to Whole Foods this weekend. I'm going to look at getting some spirulina or algae or something if I can find something raw, to add to my juices for next week. If I can't find anything, I'm going to order it online.

Raddish, Your blog is one of the most influential to me. I have also been dealing with the same issues about my weight. I was a nerd in middle school and everyone made fun of me...even the nerds! So I learned quickly that the more weight I put on, the more of a wall flower I became and less people took note of me. I have gotten down to size 11, and I freaked out, because it was my security blanket and gained it all back.
I am starting my fast tomorrow, and I know I will be dealing with everything you are dealing with. I really look up to you. Don't give up! I am right behind ya!
