The Juicy Pictures

Revealing My Flaws...

It's not easy to expose your flaws to the world, especially for someone with a huge ego like myself. It's takes a great deal of courage. It also requires one to be comfortable enough with one's self to set aside his or her ego. When I started this feast, the thought of posting pictures for all the world to see was absolutely, unequivocally, 100% out of the question. (not to mention, not at all in line with my conservative Scandinavian, Lutheran upbringing).

But you know what? That was flawed thinking. I've got nothing to hide from anyone. I only want to help. And if these pictures can convince someone about the benefits of juicing and eating living foods, then it would be a real tragedy not to post them. After all, we are all just trying to figure out how to live the best life we can. And when we move ourselves into a healthier state of BEING, the whole UNIVERSE moves into a healthier state of BEING. So cheers to your health! *clinks glass of juice*

I've discovered a lot about my SELF on this journey. Juicefeasting has helped me see that I'm SO MUCH MORE than my physical body. When I look back at these pictures now, I realize that even on Day 1 I was beautiful. I just didn't recognize the REAL me. Embarking on this path has been an act of love. A gift to my SELF. I have no doubt it has saved my life-emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Here are some snaps of the physical progress so far. It's difficult to translate the emotional and spiritual progress I've made into words, so you'll have to trust me on the rest :)

DAY ONE



Uffda. I feel awfully sorry for this poor girl. It's pretty clear from that pictures taken on Day 1 that she's been on a S.A.D. (standard American Diet) for awhile now and she's hiding from her true SELF. Barely able to crack a smile, she's looking quite puffy and sad at 188 lbs. Something tells her that there's got to be a better way...and she's right.


Age: 39

DAY 40



Ah, yes...now we see the smile of a girl who is on to something! She's been infusing herself with enormous amounts of nutrients for 40 days and her body has happily responded by dumping a boatload of toxins...She's feeling much lighter (28 lbs lighter, in fact) on her feet!

Same shirt & jeans (albeit a LOT looser!)

In the groove now. Only 21 days left? Tempest Fugit!

And the recap....

So how will it all end? Stay tuned....
