Day 90
All I can say is wow! it is day 90. The past few days have been very emotional. I haven't been able to blog because my attention has been focused inward. I haven't had much to say. For some reason I have been craving silence and solitude. Now that the juice feast is coming to a close, I prepare myself for the reintroduction of solids. I bought my prunes and I have a sacred ritual planned. I don't have a video cam so I won't be able to share my experience visually. I will write in detail the event every step of the way. I send out warm and loving thoughts to all who have been on this juice feasting journey with me.

Day 86
10 Days to go and prunes are beginning to look really good to me. I 'm starting to get hungry, however, I don't want the feast to end. I have enjoyed the freedom of not eating and restful benefits it has has on my body. This my seem bizarre, however, I've been thinking about it a lot. I am concerned about eating again, due to my past eating disorder, I'm afraid of doing something crazy like bingeing on prunes. I know this is extreme thinking, but I know myself so I am planning ahead
for the end of my juice feast. I love how my body looks now. I feel young again. I am just a little underweight right now, however, I noticed when reading post juice feasting blogs that you will gain some back. Being under weight is a good thing for me. I didn't drink any green juice today. Watermelon has been my juice of choice for the entire day.

Day 78
Day 78
Watermelon has been on sale and I got 4 medium sized and lived off of just watermelon juice for a few days. Today I'm back on greens again and I love them. Yum!!!
I am at a loss for words these days. I am still in love with juice feasting. it's going to be tough for me when it comes to an end. I feel so clean. I've been in a emotionally good place for the past several days. I think it's because of the juicing
and spiritual work combined. I had a couple of days where I didn't want green juice.

I'm feeling great again. I attended a sweat lodge last night and it helped me to resolve a lot of the emotional stuff that has stirred in the last couple of days. If you have never experienced a sweat, I recommend it highly. I have been to a few of the now and it has become a regular practice for me. Being on the juice feast intensifies the experience.

Day 64, 65 and 66
Day 64, 65 and 66
I had a major emotional upset this weekend and it was a real challenge for me. In the past I would have handled an emotional upset with bingeing on food(even raw food). I was quite proud of myself for not throwing in the towel and undoing all my cleansing. I handled the pain without the comfort of food. For the first time in my life, I allowed myself to really feel hurt and anger. I cried today, like I had never cried before. I let myself feel anger and not tuck it away and let it eventually turn into disease or physical pain. What a new experience for me. Juice feasting isn't just healing me physically, it is expanding me spiritually. I could not have been able to make it to Day 66 if I hadn't added the support of my spirituality.
