Hi there,

Was just browsing the blogs...I can't seem to figure out how to find the blog I posted myself...anyhow I came across your blog and found it quite interesting! Its my first time fasting and I just stopped drinking alcohol 15 days ago. I'm on day # 8 as far as my juice fast goes. Its been difficult but I really just needed to stop and give myself a chance to succeed at something. Its hard because I cook for a living and I also cook at home for boyfriend and son...but the benefits are amazing. I've always been into nutrition and would love to go back to school for it at some point so its meant a lot and I've got a much better connection now with my body than I did before my fast. I will continue my fast for a total of 21 days. I am a binge eater and gained over 20 lbs due to stress the past couple months. I won't even get on a scale to see what I weighed before the fast. I do however know that I've had to loose close to ten lbs already. I'm trying not to obsess over the weight like I have in the past, I'm trying to just listen to how my body feels. Let me know how things are with you! Thanks! I come on here every night just to read and get some support from other members.
