Looks like I had too much fruit juice yesterday. My Beyond Good and Evil mix was a hit. Even the green juice started to get more palatable as the day went on. I'll cut down on the fruit today and see if the scale works in my favor Saturday.
I've been watching Youtube videos on raw foods. There are a lot of funny, crazy looking guys out there preaching the benefits. I also found an hour long documentary on Foods that Kill. It made a great case for giving up meat. I love meat. The thought of kissing it goodbye makes me sad. Not as sad as lugging around this belly however. I would be kingly in caveman terms with a gut like this.
So far the benefits of my juicing have been:
Instant Weight Loss
Acid Reflux Gone
More Alert even with less sleep
A feeling of control.
That last one is key. I still get urges. Smells will trigger pangs quickly. I now realize I've been suffering a food addiction of the worst kind. I've been walking around, longing for that satisfied feeling I'd get after snarfing down fast food. Now I can see the error of that thinking. I could have see it all along just by looking down at my belly. I had blinders on. The juice is tearing them away.
Sticking to this is going to come down to willpower. I have no other excuses. I've got the time, money and resources to make it happen. I've just got to stay focused on the end game. Day 5 down. 95 days to go. Time to go make some green breakfast.
