Okay, so for us the title may be a little bit of a stretch. We were chubby, uncomfortable and achy.
A few years ago E. and I had committed to completing a 20
day juice fast. Our main reason was to
shed some pounds and inches; cleansing our bodies was just an added bonus. I had read The Juice Fasting Bible, by Dr. Sandra
Cabot (http://www.amazon.com/The-Juice-Fasting-Bible-All-Juice/dp/1569755930),
plus I had searched around on the net for some quick info. Looking back, I can admit that I wasn’t quite
prepared. I’m not going to sugar coat it; it was
hard. Temptation lies everywhere, but
you yourself are your own worst enemy, ohhhh the thoughts! I like to cook and we both like to eat. We love rich, hearty meals and decadent
desserts, unfortunately our waistlines don’t. It was time to do something. Those 20 days seemed like an eternity, but we
completed it. We felt good about what we
had accomplished, and were ready for the next step in the adventure, but our taste
buds got the better of us. Not too long
after that we started gaining the weight back.
Once you start eating it’s like you’re tasting everything for the first
time…again. So down the rabbit hole we
went. Regressing. Reverting. Re-chubby.
