It's been quite awhile since I started this thread, with the high hopes of getting through a 30 day juice fast. Once again, I failed to accomplish my goal. Several things have changed for me since then, and I am in the right mind set now, I believe. I've actually started a two-day ease-in this time, and I am getting to the end of my second day. I have been consuming only live vegetable and fruit juices, except for an hour period each day where I have allowed myself to eat my food of choice. I haven't gone crazy for that one hour either, which is a surprise for me. The juices seem to be filling me up quite nicely. Today is my last day of solid food for a period of 40 days, though. I plan on doing a juice fast from the 17th through September 27th. I've actually already lost some weight, doing this ease-in, and I'm hoping to lose a total of forty-five pounds by the time I'm finished with the fast. Then I intend to eat a raw vegan diet 80 percent of the time, allowing myself some animal protein and a light dessert for the other 20 percent (special occasions). I am feeling really good about this, and I'm positive I can complete my goal this time. I am excited to be doing this for myself. It's been a long time coming. I've been through a lot of crap over the past five years, and I've just never had enough self-confidence to do what I need to do to get healthy. Things have improved a lot in this past month, and I am so ready to tackle this weight and health issue now. I have begun walking again, and I am planning on introducing yoga and pilates into my exercise routine also.
My goal for the first 10 days: To lose twenty pounds, three inches off my waist, three inches of my bust, two inches off my hips, and two inches off my thighs.
