I'd Like Some Food Now!

Tamster with The Children

I did a four day (96 straight hours) juice fast and then I broke it last night.

I felt terrible physically and mentally and I decided, after this last bite of birthday cake and ice cream, I would start again tomorrow.

It wasn't just terrible that I broke the fast, but that when I did, I tried every food I had been thinking about for the past four days, including the cake and ice cream I had managed to resist the day before when we celebrated my daughter's fourth birthday.

This morning when I made my kale spinach red chard parsley celery tomato apple collard green juice, I felt the familiar hunger pains I had grown accustomed to over the past few days.

I even missed them when I stuffed myself silly with the disgusting foods I indulged in yesterday evening.

I missed the empty stomach feeling, the lack-of-bloating euphoria I felt every morning when I woke up and weighed myself, and I hated the feeling that I had let myself down.

I love that after four days of ingesting only juice and a homemade vegetable broth (and water, of course), I had finally started feeling like having sex again.

My husband was only too happy to oblige, until the kids woke up from their naps. So that will have to wait until later, unfortunately.

Is the juice fast responsible for my returning sexual feelings? Maybe. Or perhaps it's that my husband has started taking out the trash when I ask him.

Who knew household chores could bring out the sex kitten in me? Maybe I should let him in on it so I might get a little more help around the house...

So today I begin my journey again. We'll see how it goes. I'll keep you posted.
