Today I weighed in at 134.0 so I am going down .2 pounds every day consistently for a total of 1.8 pound loss. Maybe my TOM is near and my weight isn't reflecting the changes in my body. We will see what happens to it in the next 30 days.
Yesterday night was pretty difficult again. I made a kale salad (not for myself) but the smells were so great and it is my favorite food ever so it wouldn't leave my head the whole evening. If kale salad did not exist then I think this juice fast would have been extremely easy haha. I guess this is how other people feel when they are confronted with their favorite food during their fast. Drinking more juice didn't really help that much with regard to that craving so I just stuck it through until today, reminding myself that I will just postpone eating it for a month. Hey, at least my craving is a healthy one!
I stopped eating honey because I think I have skin problems on my face from it. It's not extreme but enough for me to stop eating it for a while. I can live without it! I replaced it with coconut sugar. I know what you are thinking, straight up sugar on a juice fast?! It really helps me continue on this journey and there are benefits to it: coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index and has less fructose then honey, I do not seem to be allergic to it, and I eat A LOT less of it than I would have if I had eaten the honey. It doesn't taste that bad and the taste is really strong so I can't eat a bunch of it but it helps me curb my cravings and take my mind off of food. Do what works for you and not what other people say you need to do. I am not ready to give this up on my fast yet and I do not care what other people think of me doing it this way. I still count that I am juice fasting and have success so far.
My skin looks better, I am gradually getting better sleep I think, my body is changing (even though the scale is slow), and my health problems are slowly going away. I think doing 40 days will be enough but we will see what happens closer to that time.
