Breaking Juice Feast

Posted by Jacquie on July 22, 2008 at 6:27am

Well...I'm not drinking enough..my heart is not in juicing at this time. I can't bring myself to want to juice or drink juice..i had a small bit of excitement, but it ended quickly when I started juicing. My body seems like it is screaming out for solid foods, raw foods, so that is what I'm going to do. :)

I'm a bit discouraged and disappointed in the decision, but I have to listen to my body. I figure if I want to do another feast in a month or so I can and I will still do juicing, just not as a "feast." I LOVED the experience and learned a lot about myself. I just am struggling so much with my life and juicing that I can't continue down this road at this time. So, I'm moving into raw foods and seeing how my weight loss goes.

I guess part of my disappointment stems from wanting to do something in a certain way and not having it happen the way I wanted, but you know if you think about it my disappointment is on the level of a tantrum. I didn't get what I wanted, but you know sometimes I think we have to just LISTEN and then proceed after we have understood the message.

So, I did the juice feasting for over 30 days and I think that is a triumph for me. I think I will do another one later on when I'm not struggling with my life lol. Too much to do, too little time. So, I'm not going to juice right now and focus on raw foods and that is another challenge for me. 30 days of raw foods...woo! No SAD foods! No high fatty foods!

I actually want a big salad with homemade mango salsa on it...yum. So, we'll see how it goes. :D I'll still drink juice though. Yay! :D

So, now I'm Juicy Raw Foodie. :)

*hugs to you all* Good luck with your juicing!

I admire the way you have listened to your body and your mind, and chosen to respond in healthy and caring ways. It seems to me that one thing juice feasting does is help us to learn to "hear" our signals better, and I think it is wise to respond appropriately to those signals - which you are doing. May you be "gently disciplined" and enjoy continued healing as you pursue a juicy raw food lifestyle!

You've done awesome!! You go girl! I too have not been able to do more than 30 days (have about 150lbs to lose)...but learned much from that experience as well...I tried to get started her again, did 5 days, then 3 days, now doing just as you, including lots of juice in my diet and trying to stay raw.

What you did was huge! Personally, I think you should go out and celebrate...buy yourself something, get a massage...do something to thank yourself for 30+ days of juice and at the same time celebrate the moving on to raw foods.

I KNOW you will do whatever you have set your heart to.

All the best.
