"Eat To Live" is changing my world. It's a must read. Overall, pleasantly surprised at my lack of interest in food. It is becoming less and less of a distraction or priority. I am empowered with having the confidence of knowing that what I put in my mouth is exactly what it should be. More than a weightloss tool, but a disease-preventing and healing tool. I am in complete control.

Went to see a really lame scary movie.
Recognizing hunger. NO desire to overeat. Feeling genuinely full and satisfied so much sooner than I expect. The thought of consuming beyond that point is rather repulsive. Cravings are incredibly minimal today. So far I’m feeling very very positive and looking forward to the success I will feel when I crawl into my bed tonight. After tomorrow’s guaranteed success, it will have been a week. And soon, a lifetime.

Thoughts: panic and anxiety from feeling overwhelmed and ill-equipped, mixed with feelings of tremendous success when these moments pass and I can give them the finger. Reading the nutritional benefits of raw foods has been a major motivator. Read "Skinny Bitch" on my lunch break. No-nonsense inspiration. Dig it.
I wanted to quit so so so bad this afternoon when my cohort decided that she is done. Truthfully, I wanted to quit mostly because I HATE the juice. I threw a fit, went home, and took my time cutting fresh veggies for a salad. I'm feeling full, satisfied, light and clear. Suddenly ready to juice for tomorrow. I may very well be creating a divide within myself deep enough for bi-popularism... or at least a few extra personalities ;)
My body is a temple. Nothing on this earth is stronger than the spirit within me. I'm going to kick and scream to the end if I have to.
Very curious about how this weekend will go. The boy is back in town. Our 'usual' involves dinner and drinks. How will we behave without a meal between us? What will we do? Frankly, my mind is a blank on the matter.
When I am being kind to myself, which is rare, I have to remember how far I have come. That these small and fleeting moments of being overwhelmed are part of a greater journey to health than I choose to be aware of. Over a year ago, I quit smoking pot after a few years of regular consumption. Three months ago, nearly to the day (Oct 9) I quit smoking cigarettes after EIGHT years. Cold Turkey. Buhhhh Bye. Now I am taking the next step in the journey and breaking my addiction to self-destructive foods. And by addiction, I really mean ADDICTION. I feel like I turn to food for every single emotion that comes my way. The last five days without food has been a serious wake up call. I'll save those thoughts for another day.
