Your Support Will Be Held Divinely Sacred....1st Juice Fast

[jhodi]

Hello Raw Foodists.

My name is Jhodi and I am embarking on my first juice fast. This is day 2. I have Cherie's books on order but they have yet to come in and because I was beginning my Fast during the Lent season I had prepared myself to begin at this time.

My goal for this fast is weight loss and health. I am 45 and my father had his first heart attack at 46...so....thought I would step it up. Looking to drop 20 pounds in a healthy way.

Your support, as stated above, will be held in the highest gratitude.

Smiles,

jhodi

For starters, yesterday was my first day and I woke in the night with a BLINDING headache. I am assuming this is very normal. I took some ibuprofen, not really thinking that that required digestion. But this morning, the headache is diminishing.

Is this a sign of detox? well, duh, of course it is. All the literature states headaches during the beginning. I guess I just wanted to whine about it!
