I have wanted to lose 40 pounds for about ten years. I decided that my 50th birthday would be the beginning of the second half of my life, if I am blessed enough to live to be 100. I don't want to live the second half of my life being overweight. I have researched many diets and know that the majority of diets work if you stay on them. I look forward to this juice "diet"/"fast" because I will not only loose weight but receive the benefits of everything that the fruits and vegetables provide. It will also help me to evaluate this crazy relationship that I have with food. I have heard that this is a controversial diet, but have researched it enough to know that it is right for me at this time. If it is not right for someone else then that"s OK. I know from the past that my biggest obstacle with eating properly is the weakness to binge with my husband. He is about 20lb overweight but comes from a family of obese members. The eating habits that he has taught me have caused me to be 40lb overweight. I am in no way blaming him. We extreme diet until a "special occasion" Then we binge as though if we don't eat on that special day, we won't be able to have it because we are going "back on" the next day. I realize though that "special occasions" occur about one a week. It is always someone's birthday or some event that we give ourselves permission to frantically binge. I have to learn to seperate what I eat from what he eats. Binging together has become what we do for fun. If I don't do this with him then he is at work. Obviously our relationship needs work too but I need to work on my codependacy, health and weight.
