Day 2 of Juice Feast

Day 2 has been a tad bit more difficult than day 1, but it's because a couple of the green vegetable juices I made today turned out absolutely horrible. I need to remind myself that I'm still in the experimental phase of this feast and will discover which juices do or do not work for me. I was a bit lethargic in the morning but after drinking a quart of water with MSM and lemon I felt much better. My energy levels have been great today and my bowel movements have been plentiful (which actually gives me more encouragement because my body is eliminating lots of bad stuff).

It's been difficult being around my co-workers and friends when they are eating foods that my temptations usually succumb to, but I realize that it is only day 2 and things will become easier later in the feast. What I've been doing when around these foods is imagine it as toxic waste, with big poison symbols that caution death. I then pretend that it smells like sewage or landfill waste. This might sound a bit over the top, but it really has been helping me ignore any temporary feelings that I have to eat these foods now (that good old instant gratification). It also helps because this food is toxic for me, it is what has had control over me, it is what has always been there to fuel my addiction, but also what has been taking years off my life. I will continue to use this as a coping mechanism since it's worked thus far.
