Don't Try This At Home!

Hey guys-

Shhhhhhhh! It's me, Donna, in the penance closet! My cells, "the girls," are hoppin' mad and they have every reason to be!

You know I've just come off IP and I've been feeling grrrrrreat! I've been taste testing and the old fare just tastes awful.

I was in the mood for more protein than I had been eating, so I made some yummy lentil soup and had some really scrumptious cooked brown rice with it. I had it for dinner, lunch, and dinner the next night. "The girls" were talking to me.

Do you know your cells will talk to you? Yeah, before they come get me in the little white wagon, just flow with me here. LOL

They were saying, "OK, Donna, it's cool, we can handle this. You've been giving us some really good stuff to work with lately, but it's OK. We understand you want a little solid food. The colon can handle it, so we're good."

Well, last night, I pushed it too far. We hadn't been to the grocery store in several days, and the only things raw we had were carrots, onions, and garlic. Oh, and half a bag of potatoes. Nothing sounded good. John was willing to get some lettuce for me, but I didn't want to make him make a special trip just for lettuce.

The kids just wanted some frozen pizza, so I *blush* put two pizzas in and ate three pieces of the worst pepperoni pizza I've ever tasted in my life!

"The girls" were practically gagging. I was hungry, having only had a glass of veg/Superfood juice all day (remember the lentils & rice from the day before) so I went ahead and completely disregarded the tiny screaming, vehemently angry voices from within.

Not only did my tastebuds and mouth rebel, my stomach mutinied! My tummy bloated up to the size of a pregnant mommy at 6 months! I had indigestion, growls, gassiness, and intestinal pain. Oh, man!

I do a lot of emotional work while I'm taking my bubble bath at night. Well, the emotions and thoughts were all focused on listening to my little "girls" fuss at me.

"We thought you were taking care of us! We were so happy! And now you do this! Tell us right now, what's it gonna be? You can't just talk smack and not take action! We know the real truth! Are you gonna do it right or not? Huh?"

My "girls" can be real uh-huhs when they want to be.

I spent most of the night and even this morning repenting of my sins. I didn't want breakfast at all. I just wanted that pizza out of my system. Oh, grossness upon grossness!

For lunch the guys reheated the leftover pizza from last night. My olifactory nerves were deeply offended and my stomach started to shut down. Fortunately, John had made a run to the store earlier and brought home some lettuce and fruit. I made a colossal salad from the whole head of lettuce plus some other stuff and I'm eating as much of it as I possibly can right now. Ahhhhh, maybe I'll be forgiven.

Moral of the story: once you commit to a healthy Diet and lifestyle, don't walk away from it! It's just not worth it!

Anti-pizza blessings!
