I agree with those who suggest that you find other ways to connect with those you love. One of my favorite posts you've written since you've been doing the juice feast was the one from Day 14 in which you discussed socializing without food. I realize that the sentiments you expressed were geared towards meeting new people and forming new connections, and that maintaining connections with family is somewhat different from what you were describing. But I still believe that not partaking in a few family meals, even big important holiday ones, can be balanced out in other ways.

You mentioned the tedium of preparing the juices. Why not go to a juice bar or hire someone to come to your house to prepare your juice for you until this feeling passes? You might just need to be pampered a bit, and perhaps allowing someone to prepare your juicy meals for you might alleviate some of the negative emotions that are surrounding this experience for you right now. Sometimes food tastes better when it's made by someone else - maybe you'll see the same effect with juice!
