It's really incredible just how much you feel that food is bad for you when you start focusing on eating things that your body wants. I've been really honed down on focusing on a vegan-based, raw-food emphasis diet. I don't stick wholly to it but I have that as my foundation and have little veered from it in the last couple of weeks.
However, I find that when I do eat some sugar-loaded dessert or a slice of pizza (as I am right now), my body is throwing up a big WTF ARE YOU DOING? sign at me. It's rough when we're confined to the house with illness to keep to my eating well. My parents' house isn't equipped with the right choices for me and so I find myself diving into the kind of food that makes me feel guilty to eat on a regular basis. No good, no good at all.
But at least with this slice of pizza this morning, however my stomach may disagree, I'm serving a worthy cause. All of the proceeds from Papa John's sales last night went to the families of the fallen Lakewood police officers. So, my body may be rejecting the fact that I'm giving it nonsense but I feel good for having made the purchase, just for that cause alone.
But really. My Vitamix and my food processor are in boxes in the living room after having been delivered and purchased this week. I've got Healthforce bottles sitting on my counter. It's time to start giving this body what it needs. I know I'll feel better for it. Right now I just feel like a rock.
