Yes, my very very sweet neighbor just happened to have an "extra" one of these laying around and he just happened to bring it by while I am in the middle of a stinking juice fast!
I was already feeling weak in the will power department. Mark is out of town so I bought the kids pizza for dinner. It looked and smelled delicious. Then the kids had ice cream for dessert... my mouth was watering. Then a few minutes later the pie was brought to my door. UGH UGH UGH!
But this illustrates a great fact. It's so easy to forget that there will always be more pizza, more ice cream, more pie. I am lucky enough to be able to get any of the three pretty much whenever I want. It's okay to pass it up sometimes. There is always more.
This is my 5th extended juice fast, if you add them all together I have fasted 36+ days and today was by far the hardest. I really really wanted to EAT! But I didn't. And I won't. Because if I do it once it will be all over for me. It will be that much harder to stick with it the next time. For me the hardest part of sticking to a fast is not the physical, it's the psychological. And you can bet I am keeping a piece of this pie for Sunday!!! YUM.
Morning weight was 100.6.
Pie freezes well. Just cover it with wax paper and then with foil.
