Day 1

Fruits & Veggies:

During my weeks of on again, off again strides to become more healthy these are some of the foods that we had in our refrigerator. So, today my plan was to pull all of the fruits and veggies out of the fridge and make myself 64 ounces of juices to enjoy for the day. Needless to say, I was very successful and made 66 ounces of juice.  As my three year old was helping me, he continued to say this is only for mommy right.. That is cute, huh? Do you think that he was ensuring that he was not going to need to drink this green stuff?

I am thankful to have the opportunity to start over again. My struggle with eating helps me to understand the struggles that sex, drug, alcohol and shopping addicts suffer. For instance, I understand the self talking, the cravings, the minimizing that is done to okay the negative behaviors. I truly have a struggle with conquering the beast of negative eating. I am so thankful that I continue to dust myself off and try it all over again. Today marks day 1, on this day I am juicy and so far I have had 22 ounces. It is my goal to drink another 22 in an hour and then I will drink another 22 ounces as my husband and kids eat dinner.

When this day concludes, I hope that I have displayed the strength in denying self for a bigger and better outcome that will ultimately change my life in a healthy manner.
