inFor some reason, I am drawn to Juice cleanses. I inexplicably keep trying to do them even though my last attempted was felled by my indigestion. With that being said, I am doing a 3 day juice cleanse from Pressed Juicery. I am really excited because, while the last cleanse I tried was by Suja and the juices were decent, Pressed Juicery allowed me to pick my cleanse based off of a certain list of juices. So, I picked juices with no beets. Those beets really killed me in the last cleanse.

inI have no misconceptions about my body. From the minute I wake up to the minute I go to sleep, I know I am fat. Even if I forget, after a few minutes I am reminded. Every activity, every sit, every time I move; I know I am fat.
However, some of you have some misconceptions.
1) I am fat because I have a hormone disorder. Could I eat healthier? Yes. Could I be more active? Yes. But will it make it be thin? No. I am on medication and it will be a long journey until I am healthy but diet and exercise unfortunately are not my cure.
2) Being fat does not mean that I don’t care about my worth or self. Maybe there is some psychological evidence the contrary but being fat does not mean I am unintelligent or messy or whatever personality trait you want to assign me. Sure, it makes me insecure but it doesn’t mean that I can’t be a functioning adult.
3) I am not Fat Katie. I have blue eyes. I have facial piercings. When referring to me, please do not use fat as a description. Unless I am missing or found dead, my weight shouldn’t be a part of your descriptions. There are many other traits that you can use to describe me. Don’t use a negative one just because it is the easiest you can see.
4) I have been discriminated against quite a bit in my life. Whether its been race or gender, there will always be someone to keep you down. For me, the past 8 years that I have been overweight have been the most tumultuous. Fat women are demonized. We are the lowest of the low. We get zero credit. The things I hear about fat women are horrible. That we are kinkier in bed because be have to make up for being hideous. The we are *insert compliment* for a fat person. Even men who want to date us are called “chubby chasers”. I have been called a “fat bitch” so many times it is crazy.
You don’t have to find me attractive. You don’t have to tell me I am beautiful. What you can do is respect me regardless of my physical appearance.
Thank you.

Recently, I was diagnosed with a health issue. While this issue may cause some difficulties later in life, it is treatable (not curable) with some simple medications. Some people may be horrified to find out they have a syndrome or a disease but it comes to me as relief; I have felt crappy for many years, mentally and physically. I have been treated for depression and have gone on many diets all with little to no results. It turns out, the depression and the weight gain are part of my medical condition and I am now getting the help I need. What does this have to do with juicing? Nothing really, but I decided to do a 3 day cleanse to prepare myself for the lifestyle changes I am going to have to make to life normally with my health issues.

This is not my first attempt at trying diet pills, nor is it my first time being on a kick where I want to lose weight. See previous posts here and here. But since I have heard so much about weight-loss products on T.V. and in the media (seriously Dr. Oz has endorsed about 5 different products) I decided that I want to try some out and see if they actually work when used like directed. (*These are personal reviews. I am not being compensated or receiving anything in return for using the product. In fact, I paid for these on my own)
