Well its Monday. Im starting my new juice fast. I felt great after the last one. So here's my story. I was 80-90% raw until my 5 month of pregnancy then I lost control. I haven't been able to gain it back yet. I suffered from severe post partum unable to make it through the day. Thank god my older daughter was very helpful. I know she suffered also the baby got all of the attention and every last ounce of energy. So I started taking Prozac the savella. I was feeling great. I stopped taking savella to start a juice fast. As soon as I stopped I felt so bad again. They tested my thyroid and hormones it was all ok. So about 3 months ago I started taking the prozac again. Determined I didn't need it don't want it. I felt so good during my juice fast I stopped taking it again. Big mistake big spiral downhill. This weekend I just ate for no reason junk cookies cake donughts. I don't even like donughts. I just needed a full belly Friday night, sat, Sunday. I started taking it again sunday. I know it takes a while to work but I do have appetite control when I take it.

Nows not the time I guess so sad for that. I was doing so good before I got pregnant. I love raw healthy lifestyle. I guess I will take it for 2 more months. Hopefully the fasting will help me make signifigant changes to my physical health until then.

Happy to be fasting. Happy that my husband is fasting. Wonder what the world would be like if everybody detoxed?

    you know, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. If you're doing a juice fast, you're going to have detox symptoms including those effecting your emotions. So, maybe going off the prozac at the same time wasn't the best idea. I do believe that there are natural supplements and food to help with depression but that's for another conversation. One step at a time and remember to give yourself credit for making changes to your life!

    I restarted it I will get off it another time whats another month or two. Thanks for the support. I was using 5-htp but didn't help very much. Ill keep juicing and healing then I will stop again.

    On the nights I take 5-htp, the next day, I notice my mood is better. I don't know if it helps with the weight loss or not.

    Do you have a naturapath you can see to help you with getting off again?
