Blog: 'fast' path to health-a 1st attempt at juice fasting!
Hi all. I hope to remedy a lot of health problems by doing this juice fast. I'm not too sure how long I will be doing this fast, but my 1st goal is going to be just 10 days. Of course I will want it to be longer, but I don't want to set myself up for failure! I grew up eating fast food EVERY night! I had cellulite when I was 11 ;-) I was very chubby in elementary, but only about 10 pounds overweight in high school because I was very active. I'm only 5'0, so weight creeps up easily because I look heavy at only 120 lbs!
Right now I have chronic fatigue, attention deficit, depression and about 45 lbs to lose (or more). I am a stay at home mother of 2 now. I used to work 2 jobs, not that being a stay at home mom is any easier, but I have been at home about 2 years now. I hoped to do so much when I started to stay home. I wanted to get my life back through excercise and nutrition and become a student, but it was too late. My exhaustion didn't get better, it got worse. I've spent lots of money and time with doctors trying to get better. I am not any better though, in fact it's added to the depression because I'm now bankrupt ;-(
I hope to begin tomorrow! I'm not going to be shy anymore, I need help! I'm practically a toxic waste dump and I think my body actually told me to fast. PLEASE PROVIDE ME WITH ANY TRICKS OR TOOLS OF THE TRADE TO STAY THE COURSE! I only started this blog so that I would make a promise to you and me to stick with this and to get some help! Now I am off to the store for all of my fruits and veggies and one last dinner! Wish me luck!!!!

| Honey......I feel your pain and I want you to know that you CAN do this thing and not only will you make it, you will thrive and find yourself, your REAL self again. Food is just like alcohol or drugs.....we can truly get addicted to the flavors the aromas and the feelings of comfort we recieve from the pleasure of eating. It is false promise though....as you have found out. Just like drugs....it's the BIG lie! Listen, have you ever heard of anyone binge eating on apples or salads? We tend to only overeat those foods that lure us to the darkside. I could eat a gallon of garlic mashed potatoes or a whole tub of creamy gourmet white queso and two baskets of chips from my favorite Mexican food restaurant. Some of us just have that tendancy to numb ourselves with food. Eating Fast food allyour life is what has caused your health problems.....they are all symptoms of eating the Standard American Diet. I have had some of your same problems and I know you can make amazing improvements, if you will try juice fasting. Try it for 10 days.....we'll support you. Do you have a juicer? This will be important. Please keep us posted and email me if you need anything.....realfood.tulsa@yahoo.com Good luck

| Thanks for the support, I need it!!!I bought a nice juicer but it kind of stinks doing soft fruit. I spend a LOT of time straining.I know what you mean about the addictiveness of food, I grew up not living with my grandparents but staying with them everynight until very late. They were too old to cook but listenend to my every whim about being hungary (depression era). They would take me to the local mom and pop shop dairy king EVERY night, and I am not kidding!!! And my husband grew up with a family with a lot of money, but were too busy making money to cook, so he ate out every night and still has trouble with it. My mom and sister eat somewhat similiar but are very thin, they think I am crazy for doing these kind of things and tell me that they're the cause of my being sick (the master cleanse, raw food, etc) I am just glad that I KNOW BETTER! ;-) Anyway, bless your heart and thank you!!!
