Fat, sick, and nearly dead.

Watched this movie this week. It was so eye opening. As a nurse we are taught so much about medication and treatments to heal illnesses. We often forget how the body can heal itself. I know that I often grab a pill for whatever I am having a problem with instead of finding the cause. For example I often get headaches. I recently have paid attention to my body and have learned the main causes behind my headaches. One I am usually dehydrated or hungry, both are easily fixed. Then I get stress or tension headaches. I have learned relaxation and stretches to alleviate that pain too.  I do still find myself grabbing for an easy fix and popping a pill sometimes. Baby steps right? I somehow convinced my husband to do a juice fast like in the movie. We haven't started yet. I bought a juicer today. We need to prep our bodies first. Wean the soda addiction and cut out our processed foods and sugar. I am excited to try it and pray I can find the strength and self control to not eat for ten days. I know it will be worth it. I want to try it and may consider it further for treatment of my PCOS. I want to get my body ready to try and get pregnant. Wish me luck!
