I'll weigh in a little publicly since people are probably wondering what I think.
First, I would never tell him to continue or stop because he has to make the decision on his own.
Second, I and the kids will be in Los Angeles for Thanksgiving weekend and as of this moment Steve has no plans to join us no matter what he's eating.
Third, I was surprised when he told me he was considering quitting. He seemed to be doing well, but I did notice that making the juice was taking a lot of time out of his day, he's more tired than usual, and the detox is challenging for me and the kids because he is way more grumpy, surly, and emotional.
I would love if we all sat down to a family meal but it's a rarity in our house. That's something we're working on, and after Steve is done juice feasting I think we'll be able to find a way to all eat together happily.
I haven't felt disconnected from Steve. We spend a lot of time doing things together other then eating. He plays with the kids and they just love it when he plays video games with them, wrestles them around on the floor, or plays board games.
I've seen benefits from the juice feasting that seem very positive so I'd love to see him continue to see what else will happen. On the other hand, if he wanted to stop, i would enjoy eating as a family. We're working on bringing more raw foods into the kids' diets, and mine too for that matter. We're all enjoying banana/spinach shakes now, thanks to Steve's experimenting. And last night I even drank some leftover juice concoction that had beets in it (something you could never get me to drink before). And last night after drinking it I settled into bed and some weird things were going on in my belly. I think I woke up the beet receptor which has lain dormant since I was 9 months old.
I really appreciate all the support, advice, and feedback you guys give to Steve. It means a lot to me to know you all care about his welfare
