It's been a stressful week. The vacation surge of everything wonderful that could possibly be in the world came crashing down abruptly this week.
I could give you the laundry list of terrible things, irritating things and things that shouldn't be things as excuses, but I'd rather spare us the stress and just suffice it to say that I had a horrible week eating. No animals were involved, but I'm pretty sure I spent more on potato chips than I did at the co-op and that wasn't smart of me.
I feel it too, this large step backwards that I've decided to take. I'm bloated, I'm cranky and though the clothing that now fits me continues to fit well, it's as though my face even feels fatter.
I've crawled into some habits that have never served me well, expecting that feeling in control would somehow make this situation feel better, but it's not.
It's funny (ironic, not haha) how when you do something that you know that you shouldn't, sometimes you'll do something else to try and control it or cover it up, rather than realizing that it's a problem and eliminating it.
I know that I have a problem with several trigger foods: potato chips, crackers, pizza and almost any type of sweet imaginable. I also know that I feel awful when I eat dairy, meat, eggs, gluten and soy. I think these foods for me are just like those toxic people in life- there's no reason to try and moderate them... you just have to cut them out of your life.
So, I'm saying 'bye bye' to them tonight and hello to all of the wonderful and delicious fruits and veggies at my disposal.
I'm looking forward to some sumptuous Nori Maki, Broccoli, carrot and beet salad, Beet, carrot, diakon and sea veggie salad, and Green herb soup before heading to my conferences later this week.
