Toxic Biooootch.
I had a creepy experience yesterday. I pretty much eat very little during the day anymore, maybe a few carrots, an apple. I like how energized I feel by the end of the day and how much more I look forward to a pull, some exercise and then a big salad right afterwards. ANYWAY, I am in class this week and ate the lunch they provided which was a sandwich of sorts with meat and cream cheese (bleh) and some chips. By the time I got home I was in the foulest mood, seriously felt toxic inside and out -- actually enraged and it kind of weirded me out because I KNOW it was related to what I ate earlier...almost as if since I have not been eating like this for some time it had a major reaction on me physically and emotionally (I also skipped my morning pull and exercise due to time constraits). After I pulled and exercised that night I felt a bit better, but still not right - like I had poisoned myself and still had some of the effects in my bloodstream.
This was so ODD -- not like I have not had sandwiches before (although I have pretty much avoided wheat for a long time) - but it reminded me of my son when he was four and had a severe milk allergy....if he had milk products he would become this little maniac, uncontrollable and running around the room (much like the kids that are being misdiagnosed as ADD these days). Emotionally I knew I was overreacting (my boys slobbing up the kitchen) but was not really able to just shut it down until after I pulled and exercised *exorcised* it out of me.
Do you think I have become even more intolerant to that type of food because of my clear avoidance of it? Or is it simply that I never related any mood swings to typical terrible eating patterns and sort of just adjusted myself to it through behavior modification because it was so common (feelings of anger and foulness)?
I hate to think simple food could have such a severe effect on me, but I cannot relate it to anything else that happened during the day and I have not had much issues with anger or anything, so it was distinctly queer.
