Fall off the wagon Friday
So here it is, almost a month and a half into my 'juice fast'. It's not been so much a 'fast' as it has been replacing the majority of my meals with juice, and when I do eat solids, actually having a healthy meal, small portion and not over eating. And for whatever reason-that went out the door today. 5 pieces of fried chicken and a couple of Mexican pastries later, and I am pretty sure I want to crawl somewhere and hide. Not only do I physically feel horrid, but mentally and emotionally horrid as well. I want desperately to just throw up and go home and drink some fresh juice. I can't believe that this is what our society does to themselves day in and day out. I wish I could keep this feeling fresh in my mind to prevent this in the future, but I know it will happen again. And when it does, it truly renews my desire and willpower to continue to drink fresh juice and eat healthy meals.

The first thing I would say is that to do what you have done thus far (45 days worth of boosting your nutrition) is amazing! One day of falling into temptation is not unusual, in fact it is pretty normal. The real strength comes from not beating yourself up, but getting back on the horse while remembering all those reasons you started changing your eating habits in the first place! It might help to plan "cheat" days once a week and what and how much is acceptable to you. That way you wont gorge when your willpower is faltering. Good luck! - T.
