Day 2 of 3 Day Juice Feast

Well, today I had the same problem. Come dinnertime I just HAD to eat SOMETHING. I think I would have been okay if I had made something that didn't waft through the house so much. I feel like I let myself down. To fail something once isn't TOO bad, but doing it again so soon is just terrible! I have thoguht a lot about why this happened. Why I can't be 100% successful at this juice feast, and I think part of it has to do with some kind of emotional eating pattern I have programed in me. I find it interesting that when I ate a little of the dinner, I felt bad, not just because I had not followed through with the fast, but because after I ate it, I realized I really didn't like it that much. I didn't enjoy eating it. I am really bummed that I have not been 100% liquid. I am still going to juice tomorrow, but I don't really know what will happen in the evening because we are going Christmas carloing with my family, and they usually have treats and hot chocolate. I think I will be strong enough to turn down any sweets, as long as I keep some fruit sweetened juice with me. My mom is trying to stay away from sugar too, so she will help me be strong. I am really discouraged, but I will continue on! I said I would go for three days, so that is what I will do. Not just because I said it on this blog, but because I told myself that. I have discovered that I need to follow through on the things I tell myself. I always do everything in my power to follow through when it comes to everyone but myself. I deserve the same as what I do for other people. I have had problems with following through for a long time. Something goes wrong and I quit. I'm not doing that this time.

Morning Juice:

about 1/2 a box of spinach
1 grapefruit
1 orange
4 carrots
3 celery stalks
2 stevia packets
I wouldn't recommend this combo. Adding the grapefruit was a mistake. I still drank it though.

Afternoon Juice:

1/2 cucumber
a few handfuls collard greens
4 apples
2 carrots
4 celery stalks and a bunch of celery leaves
a handful of parsley
I could definately taste the parsley, but it wasn't bad.

My soid food was a little baked chicken and a small salad- not great, I know.

Evening juice was about 8 oz canteloupe juice made from a whole cantelope.
