I guess the most interesting thing is that I've completely lost all interest in dried fruits and nuts. It could be that I've had enough of the nutrients/fats/sugars found in these fruits, but I really have no desire to eat them anymore. It's good, but scary, emotionally. Why's that, you ask? Well, I'll tell you!
I've realized a lot of my bad eating habits over the past month or so. Some of them are very common, like eating when bored. Others, I'm not so sure about, like eating for rewards, or eating when sad. I suppose they're relatively common, but it's certainly hard coming to terms with it.
I've found that I'm unable to eat the same quantities that I used to. This means that I'm going to have to find another way of easing the negative feelings associated with boredom and sadness, and find another way to reward myself. It's good, of course, that I'm not able to consume as much unnecessary nourishment and level my caloric intake. However, it's rough to realize the bad habits that have plagued me over the years. Then again... they're going to stop!
Basically, my body is adapting to the raw food lifestyle. I get stomach aches if I eat too much, and if I know my body wants me to stop and keep going anyways, the stomach aches are often accompanied with other non-so-pleasant consequences.
Another interesting story is my trip to Michigan! I ate non-organic produce the whole weekend, and boy was my body pissed off. Another positive change (my body recognizes and tells me about the bad things on conventional produce) but again, something difficult to handle, especially socially (I'm very limited in what I can eat).
Anyways, all I crave right now is light and watery fruits. All I have in the kitchen are avocados and locally grown organic greens... and half a conventional watermelon. I'm sure I'll be fine, since I've been scarfing down avocados like they're... popcorn? They're fantastic. I'm trying to get variety in my diet but it's hard because I'm trying to eat my remaining stock so I can go on the Master Cleanse and find myself not wanting to buy groceries.
OK! Enough writing today. I'm reading this and want to get back to it! I've also got camping and berry-picking plans to daydream about. Here are a few lovely pictures!
A forest in Michigan, near the dunes and Lake Michigan.
A strawberry field!
The Swiss Alps! I've been there and I miss it.
The International Southern Winds in the Swiss Alps.... oh those were the days!Peace,
