Juice Cleanse follow-up

I actually went the whole three days! That was a first for me and not as hard as I thought it would be. Because I tended to be more constipated I didn't have to "run to the facilities" like I thought I would have to, so I had some freedom to do things. One thing about the cleanse is it left me feeling drained and tired. The instructions said it would because: "our bodies are housecleaning", cleaning out all the toxins and such. So it was really no surprise to me, to be tired, it is just an adjustment to my life. I wonder how long it takes to for the tiredness to go away. I have energy, just feel like I want to take a nap all day, every day. One positive side effect loosing 3 more pounds. I finally broke the 140 barrier. I have been there for months. Not that I am trying hard to loose, but I would like to see if I could get down to 125, but I won't kill myself trying to do it. Everything I read says that our bodies will know at what weight is best for us when we eat healthy, more raw diets, so I am really not worrying about it.

I have to say that I love the way I feel and look, with one exception. After loosing 80 pounds all that skin that used to cover those pounds has to go somewhere and at age 50 it goes where gravity takes it. Doowwwwnnnn!!! It just sags and hangs. Noone really notices, except me....that is until I put on a bathing suit. So far, I have only tried on bathing suits, but not wore one publicly and I don't know if I am brave enough to do so. Hey, maybe one of those suite people wear in the ocean to keep them warm, that would hide everything. Think people would stare at me then? YEA, probably so. What is a woman to do?!?
