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.

Sending you some extra love, Tuliza. I am going through a funk right now, too. This is new to me and I am just rolling with it and trying to cut out anything that is distracting me from my goals.
I think we're doing great and we've come along way.
Hanging tight...

Hi Tuliza
That combo with the green apples sounds good! I'm going to try to remember that when I go by Whole Foods tomorrow.
You know, I had an experience yesterday that was very emotional. Normally I would have ranted and raved, and then stuffed my face for comfort. Instead, I was able to tell my husband I was upset and that I needed to take care of me. I went in the bedroom, and the tears started coming - thoughts of self loathing because of weight - thoughts of despair. I took a nap, which I needed - and when I got up 2 hours later I felt much better. It was huge for me to be able to do that.
You go, girl. You're doing great.

Emotional cleansing is the best. It was so cool for me to discover that feeling emotion and letting it pass was so much better than stuffing it down with food.
You are doing great!
