I get it!
I literally cried, freaked out, threw a fit, and got angry when I decided to try my first juice fast. A 1 day juice fast.
Food has been such a center in my life for as long as I can remember. I ate for every emotion, every occasion, and every event. Food was the comfort, the love, and the friend that was always there. I used food as a way to numb (and sometimes still do). The thought of taking that away for even one day was terrifying.
A friend of mine who is also a health coach and got me started on my journey, suggested I give it a try. I called and texted her several times that day. It is funny because there are so many times I skipped breakfast, worked through lunch, etc. without a thought, but planning this and feeling I CAN’T have food and am depriving myself was a lot, and it was not even true. I CAN have anything I want at any time. I am choosing to flood my body with tons of nutrients that my body can immediately absorb and use. It had a lot to do with untruths I was telling myself . It also had to do with wounded inner children (which I will talk about more in a post coming soon).
A properly guided juice fast (including proper detox protocols) provides all of the nutrients and calories your body needs, and without all of the fiber and digestion, you are actually able to utilize all of the nutrients you are taking in. A properly guided juice fast includes a lot of juice.
Obviously, I lived through that day and eventually went on to a 3 day, a five day, and a ten day as part of the 66 day Healthy Mastery Program followed by the juice fast as part of the Candida cleanse.
Seeing that I could get through that day, and face those specific fears and be just fine, was a big part of a complete health turn around. My health is in a completely different place than it was when I started my journey.
I have included links to some different protocols or check them out on my website. Check them out on your own, or let me know if you want to work 1:1 or in a group. You can do it, just get started! Lotuscenterhh.com
