Okay I know I said I was not going to journal, but after what I did yesterday I had to write it down so that I have a written account of the weirdest thing.
Okay here it goes, after work I went to mom's, caught the bus from mom's and eneded up downtown. Went to the evil bulk barrel and with the mind set of "screw it" I bought all my junk food. Not a lot but enough, or appartently more then I needed. So once I got home the eating party started. I just kept filling my face without a care at all of what I was doing. Well apparently this was one of my worst ideas ever. My stomach cramped up bad, my mind went into panic Mode, I thought I was going to throw up. In the end I just wanted to cry over how I had delusioned myself that I could eat this way, then cried some more over how I used to eat this disgusting way all the time.
However now that I know it is both a physical and mental effects it has I believe that I will remember how utterly gross and nasty the feeling was and not repeat this sill notion. Just like I can not handle more then two drinks, I can not also handke more food then I am suppose to eat!
Apparently things do change and your body and mind will remind you of both.
NOW!! I am on vacation but a healthy vacation!! Have a good day everyone.
I have to deal with this icky food hangover!!

What a great lesson learned about how our body knows what it really needs and, when we listen to it, we usually feel better. You gave the "screw it" eating a shot and found out there is a truly healthy woman inside of you determined to stay healthy! Isn't that cool?

Snackies in moderation!! If I over-do it, I luckily have an iron stomach, but oh man, the food-coma gets me all the time when I have too much sugar/carbs in one sitting!

You must recognize that you have come such a long way. Your words "I used to eat this way all the time" are very telling. We have got to be proud of ourselves that eating this way just once makes us realize how we had grown accustomed to feeling bad all of the time. To have a momentary back slide serves as sort of an alarm. Enjoy your healthy vacation! Have a blast!

I had a "momentary alarm" yesterday. I ate canned ravioli, PBJ, and a gooey donut. I must admit that I thought of you when I enjoyed every bite of the PBJ. Odd? Maybe. I ate junk one time. Big deal. The real truth is that from December 2011 through April of 2012 I ate that way every day & did not exercise! Alarm disarmed. Ready for a brand new day!

Good you got it out of your system. I sooooo know what you mean with 'screw it' this is my constant battle because I have a hard head. HAHA! Hopefully it will sink in eventually for me. Lucky you...got it on the first stumble! It's amazing though how quickly our bodies react to eating crap after healthy clean food for so long. Enjoy your vaca...you will be missed! :-)

I've done that a couple of times since going veg. I'll splurge and eat and eat (or try to eat) as much as I used to and I get SO VERY SICK. I regret it almost within an hour of doing it. Especially when it's something not on my, 'diet.' It's really a crappy, horrible feeling (especially if it's sweets). I try to take it as a good sign. My body rejected the the extra stuff like poison. It worked like it was supposed to- telling me that, hey I don't like this junk, please don't give it to me. I often think of food as an addiction like any addictive substance: I need it for fuel, not for rewards, not for love, not for celebration, not for socializing, not for anything else, but fuel- and I should try pick the best fuel possible (which most definately ain't always easy). Live and learn, it's how we roll. I hope you're still having a great vacation!
