Juice fast is over

We lasted until 5 pm today. David was feeling really sick and I can't kick this headache. Maybe we didn't do it right because all the testimonies and stories I read said that you almost always get better the 4th day. We felt worse.

I almost decided not to post anything. I was ashamed. But then I started thinking about it and I realized that we did do something extrodinary....we didn't eat for 3 and a half days! Not many people could do that. We both feel lighter and we're glad we did it but I dont think we'll do this ever again. Actually I'm returning our juicer tomorrow. For now on we are putting fruit in the blender..with yogurt or rum lol.

I've decided to keep this blog. I should probably rename it "will caitrin ever lose weight?" or something like that. I still like having this blog to vent about food and dieting and what-not. And i think this is good for people who are considering juicing to look at this and see what people really go through. I didn't come across any failure stories in my research. Sure i found blogs of people who said they were on day one or 5 of juicing and then they mysteriously stopped blogging so im sure that means they failed but they never talked about it. I think anyone sincerely doing research should see the ups and downs of a juice fast. At least they can read my blog and see what challenges they will face. Almost every testimony I came across just talked about the end results and glossed over the hardships of living a life without food. It was like it was easy for them or something. Maybe if we had appetite suppessants...

So take this as you will. Either be disappointed that this fat girl couldn't live off juice to make her healthier and call me bad names or scorn me behind my back....or you can be encouraged that you aren't the only one trying and failing at losing weight! lol. Actually no one might ever read this blog and in that case I have to say that as my own critic I am proud of what I tried to do and I still think I will lose weight. I only had a 6inch subway sandwhich and it totally filled me up. I took my dogs for a walk tonight. I still have willpower to do SOMETHING....but if i ever have to drink veggie juice again I'll blow my brains out.
