Fresh Produce!

It's been almost a month since I started this craziness about juicing. The thing that inspired me to do this was because of the documentary entitled "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead". The documentary was all about a man who realized that after gaining so much weight all his life and being sick at the same time made him change his ways and found the road to wellness by juicing. It is quiet crazy what he does there on the documentary and I felt like doing that really takes tremendous amount of effort and determination. I don't think I can do without taking any solid foods for 3 days let alone 6 months!!!! These guys deserved an applause. :) I myself have been put in a situation where I felt so down because after being lazy for almost a year and pigging out in every meal makes me realize that it has truly taken a toll on my weight. I have ballooned into my heaviest at 136 lbs and sometimes even up to 140's on October to November last year. The sad part for me was that I couldn't get to fit myself into my regular clothes and I simply refuse to buy new clothes with a size that says Large at the back of my shirt! I used to be XS and even XXS in some brands before that. My pride just could not accept the fact that my body has completely changed. :( A lot of people during that time have asked me if I am pregnant which is just too annoying . It would have been better to say that I am to free me from explaining why I gained soooo much weight but when you said that you're not, that usually opens up to a hundred and more questions with some raised eyebrows inbetween. Eversince then I started to go back to my beloved Bikram yoga class and started to feel the support of my good 'ol instructor, Jim. He welcomed me back with open arms even when he said that I am completely out of shape! lol Bikram yoga and watching the food that I take in made me lose weight. In January to Feb this year, I have lost about 10lbs of my weight already and now almost 14lbs off since october! I just started to incorporate juicing into my diet mid Feb since I feel like it will be much healthier to get me more veggies in my system and I couldn't think of any better idea to make veggies more palatable to me than juicing. And indeed it was a wonderful experience to do the juicing coupled with good exercise and sheer amount of determination to live a healthy lifestyle. Please join me as I continue living a healthier, brighter and happier life! :)
