Food ? Cease And Decyst

It?s the other four letter ?f? word at this point.

Forgive me if this blog is turning into some sort of crazy food rant? it?s just that I?ve been thinking about what, when, where, and how I?m going to eat for 6 days now?.my brain is fritzing.? Food has become this all-consuming time suck, and I?m not enjoying it, to be quite honest. If I?m not reading labels, cooking some nasty gluten free/egg free/ dairy free bread, chugging water, chugging the horrible Green Drink, or taking vitamins, I can generally be found at restaurants with friends sullenly picking at a bland salad while others are enjoying food, drinks, and deserts.

This diet is not good for anyone who wants a life outside of obsessing on food.

This week I went out to dinner three times (these dinners were planned well in advance of me knowing I was going to diet, and I couldn?t get out of them) and it was painful. To cap off the glorious weekend, Hubs and I went to a wedding last night where I had to bring a bag of trail mix with me so I could have something to eat. The wedding was rained out, and we all had to pile inside a tiny cramped room with no dance floor, where all there was to do was drink and small talk with many people I didn?t know. Let me tell you, I pounded those waters. And I was BORED OUT OF MY FREAKING MIND.

But I?m sticking to this. I need to see if it works?I need to see if it will all be worth it in the end?wait a minute. What is ?the end?. How do I know if this worked???!! Argh!!!

A few things that are working:

1. I have not weighed myself since Tuesday, but my pants are already fitting better.

2. I am starting to crave water over any other beverage, which I think is a good thing.

3. The gross white coating that was all over my tongue for so long (and which, in Chinese Medicine is indicative of congestion, and weak spleen) has almost all cleared up. My tongue was also very swollen (which is indicative of teeth marks on the side of your tongue). This indicates liver taxation/toxicity. This morning, the teeth marks which have been there for months were almost entirely gone.

4. The hemorrhoid that has plagued me for almost 10 years is all but disappeared.

5. My face is the softest and clearest it?s been in a long time.

6. I don?t feel sharp hunger pains anymore, as I?m better able to manage what foods my body needs and when.

7. Salads are actually starting to taste good (amazing how that happens when there?s nothing else to freaking eat.)

Tomorrow I see Intuitive Health Lady for my Week One Check In/Acupuncture session. We?ll see what she says. Until then, I?m making black beans and yellow rice today and studying for a Lifespan Psychology midterm.
