Well, the truth is... our 10 day Juice-Only Fast lasted only 7 days. We broke down Saturday night and made a salad. Obviously not the worst thing in the world but I felt pretty defeated afterwards.
Truth is... I still have a lot to learn about my battles with food. I still feel controlled by it. Now instead of eating everything in sight, I have struggled with fear of getting off the juice fast. I knew the first time I ate something I would feel like I might as well go back to my old habits.
Truth is... I'm trying to find a balance. I'm not sure what my goal is in this process. Is it to eventually eat only raw foods? Become a vegetarian? Never have another sweet again?
Truth is... If I'm being honest, all of those options depress me. I need to find a balance but it's hard when I'm used to eating whatever/whenever, to have enough discipline to say NO.
Truth is... If I'm also being honest, I've felt the most empowered this week. I have had TONS of energy, felt the best about my body, and enjoyed making healthy choices.
Truth is... As of this morning, I've lost 10 pounds!
Truth is... Well, the truth is, I'm not sure where I'm going with this juicing. My body still has quite a few pounds to lose and I know I'm not done.
I know I'm not giving up... and that's the Truth.
you're amazing!!!
