Update

I did well yesterday with Juice only all day… then I learned something that I have really known for a long time.. I am a huge stress eater… Had an issue pop-up and my stress level went sky-high really quick.. and then I started craving certain things… mashed potatoes and gravy was the main thing and it was so severe it was as strong as a cigarette craving when I was quitting.

I ended up going to the store and getting instant potatoes, jars of gravy and instant stuffing (which was a craving while I was in the store)… I also got the fruits/veggies I will need for the next couple of days…

So for dinner it was a food frenzy… I had Chili w/beans and pasta shells, Mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing and gravy and fried shrimp spring rolls (which I also bought at the store)… then ice cream for dessert… it was not a good night at all.

It was really evident to me about how the stress triggered the cravings and the only thing I could do was eat.. that made me feel better while at the same time made me feel worse because I knew I shouldn’t be eating like that.

Today I’m back on the horse… juiced this morning about 1 1/2 liters of the green juice… drank about half for breakfast and will be having the other half for lunch… just more for dinner.

I need to be able to catch the triggers like I did last night, but more importantly I need to be able to replace the cravings with something.. or at least be able to just ignore them.

I am going to research that and see what tricks I can find that may help.
