Wayne had had some friends over the night before and we had bought some cheese and crackers to set out for them since they were not raw foodists. When I got upset on Sunday I opened the refrigerator and saw what remained of the brie and swiss cheese and decided to eat it all! Then I had some chocolate ice cream (which I had to get in the car and drive to the store to get) to top it all off. Remember, I have been eating raw for about 4 months now, so that means I have not had any animal products, including cheese and ice cream for that long.
After being ashamed and disappointed in myself, I decided the best thing I could do was get back on the raw food wagon. I made myself a list of things I could do instead of eat a pound of cheese the next time something happens that make me upset, and decided it was just not a good idea to give other people that kind of power over my choices.
So anyway, back to my Monday, I felt so sluggish and tired today! I could not seem to get my body going. I even looked tired. I haven't felt this lousy since I started eating raw. I am listening to my body and it is definitely telling me what is good for it. I also learned that next time we entertain I will have my guests try raw food. It is so good and I think almost anyone will enjoy it. It simply is not worth it to have food that makes me feel this bad in my house.
