Dr. Furhman is the doctor monitoring Joe in Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. I keep trying to do Eat to Live (ETL) and I feel like my food addiction is too strong. In the movie Dr. Furhman says that if a juice fast is what you need to reset your eating and taste buds then to go for it. So I am! I am starting Friday because my husband leaves Thursday night for 10 days and that will eliminate my having to cook meals for him and coffee for him in the morning. It will also let me get through the first 3 days (which are of course the worst) while he's gone. AND I have no obligations until Monday.
I have the "just one bite" or the "just this once" problem. I have read Dr. Furhman's articles, I know I can let one meal go and move on with the next. I know not to have anything in the house. I just can't seem to power through the cravings and the "well just this one potluck/friends visit/trip to Vegas/etc" Cross your fingers that this can truly help me reset my diet. Truly help me reset my taste buds. I'm going all in and even giving up my coffee! :O I am very lucky that I have a jamba juice close to me and they can juice pure fruits, vegetables and even wheat grass for me. So if I'm out and about I can grab that.
I still have the mental issues. "what if I fail?" "what if my husband doesn't like the thinner me?" "What if I have skin hanging all over?" "What if *I* don't like the thinner me?" "What if my friends abandon me?" No answers yet...just watching Fed Up, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead 2 and looking up juicers.
