Craving: the sequel

Tonight my partner, my daughter, dropped out. She sent me a text that read, "Let's eat!" and then called me to suggest that ten days is just too long; she felt weak. I think she just hasn't been eating - drinking- enough. She has not had the time to run the juicer, make a big batch of juice, bring enough with her to work. In any case, rather than try to get her to continue I accepted her situation. Yes, ten days is long. And no, there isn't anything really important that is going to come of this. For me at least there is an additional incentive: the opportunity to talk about it at the potluck this coming Sunday.

Craving. If I had any idea that doing this fast would reduce my cravings I was wrong. I am a person who binges, and sometimes those binges can last for months. In my case, I don't mean I eat everything in sight every day but I do give in to these cravings, especially in the evenings, for foods that are not good for me. While doing this juicing I only make more juice when I feel a craving come on. No problem during these ten days. But I will have to fight the crave when I'm off the juice.
