Day one over....

Over the course of preparing for this I have lost 9 lbs. From 217 to 208. Most of it I think is water. Today I have had four servings of juice, two servings of meat protein. For dinner I added fresh veggies to my already cold pressed juice in a blender, added some spices (no salt).


I have to keep telling myself this over and over again today. For those of you who are wondering, I am doing a 3 day juice fast.... maybe longer. This is based on what Joe Cross did in Fat Sick and Nearly Dead (if you have Netflix streaming I suggest you watch this, along with Hungry for Change). Joe Cross did this for 60 days, living off of micronutrient juices for 60 days. I'm ending my first day and I'm starving and going nuts because every commercial that comes on is either pizza or Taco Bell or all the other numerous crap that I've been poisoning my body with. I know I sound a bit harsh, but when you're 42 and on 14 different medications and 75lbs overweight it really puts things in perspective. I've been sober for 19 years, but I've turned to another drug.... processed food and refined carbohydrates. Not to mention all the Sucralose I've been poisoning my body with since I was diagnosed with diabetes. I have actually been considering weight loss surgery, but I don't think that will work for me. That just changes the physical way my body digests food. It's all a matter of what I put in, and the frequency of it. Just like the alcohol. Right now my belly is growling... #Joe Cross if you are reading this, how did you get through this part of the fast?

New Year...

Watching Fat Sick and Nearly Dead 2, and looking at how far I've come. To be honest, not very far, but that doesn't mean I'm going to give up on my goals...2015 is a year of 20 ' s for me. The big one being 20 years of sobriety. Over the past year I have come to the realization of my addiction to 'comfort food' and processed food. I've also dealt with a lot of health issues, from diabetes to malignant hypertension. I also live with bipolar  and PTSD and the meds I HAVE to take in order to live. A lot of us out there started on New Years resolutions on the first, today I start again on a LIFE CHANGE! When I got sober I knew it wasn't just to placate the powers that be, I wanted to change my life... almost 20 years later I'm still sober, but due to the other factors in my life, I have replaced one addiction with another... alcohol for food. So today is the first day, and with my last glass of chocolate milk I start. I'm not going to put numbers out...

Back at it again...

Like with any addiction, you can't do it on your own or without help. I'm back in the food wagon again, along with the mind and body as well. All part of my life and David's life as well, we're doing this together. I'm excited, not just about the losing of weight for vanity purposes (I'm not going to lie), but for the new life of feeling good physically and spiritually. When I saw myself in the commercial I was filmed in I cried... that was not me. I'm ready... what have I got to lose except maybe 70 lbs.
