I have thought about that a lot, but I have four animals, and no one really wants to take on a roommate, a dog and three cats. And I can’t part with my babies.

Hey- that retreat sounds great! Don’t know if you hate living with roommates or had bad situations in the past- but moving into more of a shared house/roommate setup might help if you love being around people.
Good luck with the juice- sounds both yummy and hard.

More power to you. I can’t drink more than a glass of fruit juice without being sick for a day. Gimme a jar of veggie juice though and I’m a happy camper.

I know so many people who do this passive aggressive bullshit. Oh you are so funny! And then just hit you below the belt. I also like the “Oh I’ve never seen you wear that before…” Like a half assed compliment..

Heres some of my other favorites..
1. “That’s OK, I didn’t want [Insert object of desire here] anyway
2. “Go on, go with your friends and have fun. Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine”
3. “Guess I’m not doing [Insert their preferred activity here] then!”
4. “I’ll do [Insert thing you want you her to do], when you do [insert thing you had no idea they wanted done, and they haven't mentioned before for 2 months] and [insert something they may have mentioned in passing over a year ago].
5. “No, nothing’s wrong”.

Assholes. Always women (for the most part) too.

Sara, hasn’t your mother taught you that if you truly don’t have anything nice to say, you shouldn’t say anything at all?

That’s awesome, sounds like something I’d do. I’ve been wanting to get that juicer for a long time! I can’t believe you guys got Jesse to do this too!

Meh - three days on a juice fast isn’t going to hurt anyone and might just do lots of good. I say, down with the haters! :-) Barbara does have a point though, fruit juice does wreak havoc with glucose numbers. The fiber in the actual food helps mediate absorption into the blood stream - is there any chance you could do a juice and whole fruits/vegetables fast? It might be easier on your blood sugar. Have fun juicing!

Juicing is fantastic. My husband and I juice every week and let me tell you, there is nothing better than carrot, apple and celery juice. The apples add a wonderful sweetness to the juice. Good luck with your juicing and don’t let anyone make you feel bad if you want to try out different ways to improve your health. At least you are trying!

You go girl! Congrats on the success with the retreat. You deserve it. Don’t let anybody elses BS affect you taking care of yourself and what you feel is best for you. Juicing sounds great. I need to get one for quitting smoking, etc.
