Day 1: An epic battle indeed

There was mystery... romance... danger... intrigue!!!

LOL... but seriously...

Today was my first day on the juice cleansing diet, and let me tell you I learned a few things about myself. I never realized that I thought so often about food until you can't eat 80% of the things you used to anymore. All day, I was tempted time after time to get fast food, order pizza, etc. I wanted to pull my hair out so many times. Whoever said dieting and/or fasting was a piece of cake needs to be overweight for about half their life! I finally cave in at about 4pm today, and ate some crackers with peanut butter and jelly. Not too bad, but the cravings continued. As a result of my previous weakness to purge everything from my kitchen, I am currently cooking some hot dogs and vegetable soup. So much for the first day, right? Wrong! Along with my juice diet, I am drinking only water. That means my daily intake of 64oz of soda is at an end. I guess you can say that getting rid of the pop in my daily consumption has had adverse effects on my psychie. It's always the first few days that you feel dizzy, and I was thinking initially the dizziness was caused by the absence of food alone. Hopefully the next few days will go better. No, I KNOW they will...

Today I had a grapefruit for breakfast, the carrot juice blend for lunch, and the fruit blend for dinner/dessert. Very delicious indeed. We shall see how the next few days go, and I will also report any progress.

Cheers for now! :)
