And now, The Larch, or, the next step forward in the excruciating look back at my gourmet-nightmare stomach bulging life that has lead me to this spot. And now....

  So, Once more into the breach dear friends, or some such line.  I am now at the end of a two week juice-a-thon and down close to 14 pounds.  Now, it will be portion control for about two weeks to get me used to smaller meals, and re-integrate my hunger into a more normal eating process.  This is where things get harder, and if all goes as planned, much better for the future. I have also decided that the beginning of January will be a juice every other week time for me.  To keep me active in it, and keep me moderated as I begin a new excercise regimen as well.  So, here's to the next step.  This one is tough as well, because it's still not my green light to eat breads and stuff like that, but it's going to be a new learning experience all together.  Wish me luck in phase 2 folks.  See ya.  CHEERS !!! or in this case, Bon Apetit.
