Why Juice??

Hey guys, my name is Jen and I am Obese. Currently weighing in at 229lbs at 5ft 2' and it's apparently classed as "morbidly obese" by Dr's.....whatever! I decided I hated the Dr as she told me that in front of my husband while I was pregnant with our son. My weight has fluctuated since I was about 17 years old. I stopped partying and smoking cigarettes and I gained a lot of weight. I am not blaming anyone but myself... I don't have any diseases that cause me to gain weight, its not the Chinese take away's fault for delivering my order.... It is MY fault. I love food.... all kinds of food. I always feel hungry and I always want chocolate!

When I was 21 I met a guy online whilst playing a game. We fell for each other and decided that he would come to Scotland from America to visit me. Motivation!! I lost 100lbs for him coming to see me. This brought me down to my late teens size of 120lbs. I felt great and looked great too! I ate super healthy and walked everywhere! and for the last few months before he came I jumped on a quick fix diet which consisted of drinking 3 shakes a day. This was awesome and I actually really enjoyed it.

One year later after visits and talking non stop I moved to America to be with him. He is now my husband and we have a beautiful son. Coming to America was huge. I came at thanksgiving.... then there was Christmas, then there was New Year, then I got pregnant then it was Easter, then when I had our son it was Thanksgiving again.... See where I am going with this?? Not only did I have to adjust to the massive change in the way things are cooked and just the food in general, I was thrown into all these events that my new family took very seriously! I gained my whole 100lbs back in just over a year!  Urgghh!

As far as health goes I dont think there is anything massively wrong with me. A few years ago I was diagnosed with " Polycystic Ovary Syndrome" which is basically cysts all over the ovaries. Most people that have this are overweight. Because of this my body does not break down sugars the way its supposed to, it messes up my metabolism and and makes it hard for me to lose weight. I thought I wouldn't be able to have kids as it is known for affecting fertility. I am lucky I guess. I noticed that when I had lost all my weigh my periods came back regularly and I fell pregnant. So maybe juicing can help me with this issue!! :)

So....bottom line is... I am fat... its affecting my health and my marriage also. I HAVE to do something about this now while I am still young. I watched the show "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" and was majorly inspired by Joe Cross and that trucker Phil. They did so amazing!!

So, here I go! I am going to have nothing but Juice for 60 days!! Yes I am nervous, but I am pumped too!! I bought myself a wii so I can do Zumba on it! I am super busy looking after babies all day so I cant go out...so Zumba on the wii will do fine! I am gonna use this blog as my journal. I am way more likely to do this than actually write one!!

Oh by the way, since I am from Scotland I may use words or sentences that may not make sense to some people. I get told all the time that I don't make sense to some people and I have to reword it so they do. I guess the great thing about this, is you can just google it!! haha :)

Wish me LUCK!! <3
