Well, today was day one of a 21 day juice fast, the operative word being WAS! I’m highly disapointed in myself because at approximately 7pm I caved in and ate terribly! It happened while I was cooking dinner for the kids and it was as though my hands had a mind of it’s own as it proceeded to feed my mouth handfuls of starchy food! I’m so disgusted, but I will press on. Tomorrow will be better..it’s GOT to be better! I decided that I will be blogging a lot more for accountability this time around. I am SOOOOOOO close to finally being in the 300′s, but it’s getting harder the closer I get. Weird! You would think that me being only 20 lbs away from from my first mini goal, would make me push even harder, be even stronger! But Noooooo! Ugggh, sometimes I sit back and think is this all worth it? Why not just enjoy life and eat what I want like everyone else? And then I snap back into reality! Because God intened for my life to be better than this! Because my kids cry when they see me struggling up the steps or huffing and puffing as I try to catch up with the twins outside. They BEG me to not eat that last piece of cake or cookie. I’ve got to be the example and reverse the years of teriible eating habits that I’ve passed on to them. I know that juicing works, it’s my mind that I’ve got to get right! It’s a process I tell ya, but it’s one that I will work until the big payoff!~!:0
Chanda! I just saw your 2011 videos on youtube and it got me to your blog looking to see the results your were after back then. All I can say is YOU CAN DO IT!
In a sense I feel like we are kindred spirits in the sense that we both set out on daunting personal youtube adventure..you with losing 300 lbs and mine was making 365 Cups…a cup a day for a year. December 31, 2011 I was able to meet that goal, but not without some pretty stressful times…including a hospital visit. All I can say Chanda is that you need to do whatever it takes to keep your own word to yourself, and if telling the world helps you stay on track then do it!
More important than losing the weight, is building small successes that help you believe in yourself and make you stronger. If you mess up like you mentioned above, do something extra right after to build your success belief system …don’t wait until tomorrow to start again! SEE where you want to be…you at your final destination!
I found your blog because I’m starting on a weight loss journey myself and KNOW I need daily accountability…if someone doesn’t hold me to it I’m more likely going to slip up. Since you haven’t posted to your blog in 15 days I’m wondering if I’m posting in the right place in looking to find someone to be accountable to. I hope you have started again… I’d like the accountability person to be you….are up for it?
Philippian 3:14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Hi Lady,
I just wanted to say that your determination is truly refreshing to me. My name is Misha, I am 5’2 and I currently weigh over 350 lbs. I was feeling very defeated until I ran across your blogs on Youtube, and then I followed the links to your blog. Up until now I was telling myself that I will lose weight when its time. Well in all honesty its past time and I need to do better. Your success and struggle has truly made me want to do better. I was feeling pretty low today and refused to get out of bed. I had an argument with an ex that rattled me… He called me a FAT ELEPHANT! He said that I was going to be dead in less than two years from a massive heart attack! Although I held my own and gave him the business… I still felt bad after the fact because in all reality he is So right! So I said all of that to say this… Please keep doing what your doing and remain focused! I need you to be successful so that I can be successful with you. I wish you all the best and I will remain in prayer for us both! God speed my sister!
Misha
Hi,
you are doing great, keep going!! Don’t be so hard to yourself, everybody knows it’s not easy at all to lose weight, I’m trying it also now. 9lb’s just gone down and feeling the same way – it would be so easy to just forget this project and eat like before. I couldn’t do juice fast because I love too much the same food my family eats, but I count calories and it’s easy now after three weeks. My stomach is smaller and I can eat what I want. But you’ll get faster resoults, and it motivates, very understandable! I love the good spirit you have with this battle, it will be nice to see how you are going forward!!!
You are truly and inspiration. thank you for your honesty. i have been juicing for just under a month now. planning to do it for my whole summer holiday (from uni) so I have over a month to go! but one day my stomach was really hurting so I ate, and it helped lol. So now I have decided that if I have the urge I will eat a piece of protein (usually a sausage) or something under 150 calories. I dont aim to do this often. But as we both know juicing is extreme weightloss fast, i just feel that if i slow it down a bit by eating a sausage then I am still losing weight, just at a steadier pace
I know you will surely do it today (i hope) and I will be checking in each day to help with accountability!
Keep your head Ma, I know how it is. Last week I did real bad on eating and only worked out twice and this week I intending on working out 7 days and I’m on day three and still haven’t worked out. But as soon as I finish typing this comment to you I am going to press play on my DVD Player because our health is worth it. Tomorrow will be better. Don’t give up or in.
