Maybe, what you can do is to slowly but surely begin weaning yourself off the coffee and sugar ahead of time. Take baby steps. If your usual is, say... four cups a day, today have your four cups, but tomorrow have ONLY three. Keep the three for the next few days, and then go to ONLY two cups... keep that up for a few days and then only have ONE CUP... after that, you can decide whether to keep drinking that one cup all the way up to March 1 OR cut it out completely before March 1. By doing this, you pretty much eliminate those horrible caffeine withdrawls... damn, the headaches from those can put the most stoic of us down.

The brain fog and fatigue are definitely toxin removal. So, I'm thinking if you weaned yourself off before hand, much of that brain fog and fatigue will not be a severe this time around.

Yes, I honestly do believe you CAN pull it off. As long as you have plans in place, know what to expect so you're not taken by surprise and have some sort of action in mind for when you do feel horrible. For me, when I feel terrible, I juice MORE and I lay down with a good book. If I feel bad, but not so bad that I need to rest, I try to do something else that will take a lot of time and keep my mind off occupied, such as oil painting, writing, gardening... If you have any kind of hobbies or interests then get them out... if there is something you've wanted to try but haven't had the time or inclination, such scrapbooking, cross stitching, or whatever, now's the time to try it.

I went out and bought something like $100 worth of books before I began this fast... I ended up buying more halfway through (about the RAW lifestyle). On one fast, I created a huge flower bed by digging it out with a shovel, about 15 by 20 ft, and planted three trees and bushes and flowers and mulched the whole thing.

I read alot of inspirational articles, which helps alot. By offering support to others gives me much inner strength to tarry on.

Don't forget to stroke your spirit while on this juice fast. Maybe pick up some new inspirational, soothing music, some new candles for when you take long epsom salt detox soaks. Maybe get some new night clothes that make you feel feminine and sensual to help you ride out the fast.

So, along with your OxyPowder, paring knives, cutting boards, perhaps pick up some new hobby, a bunch of books if you read, try your hand with something new... Oh and one more thing, maybe get a new outfit in the new size you'll be and hang it where you will see it everyday.

You can do this. You really really can!
