What NOT to do!!!

My weight today is 242.6 - yeah I know I'm up 2 lbs and I'm so mad at myself!!! So after more than a full week of eating totally raw and feeling really great! I found myself very tempted to go and have Chinese food with my family for dinner last night. It sure tasted good while we were eating it. We were really careful and ordered almost all vegetable dishes. I thought surely there can't be that much difference between gooded veggies and raw veggies. Man was I wrong!!! I only ate one plate of food and I didn't overeat.

So how am I now other than angry that I'm up two pounds? I slept terrible, I feel nauseated, my stomach feels like it has a huge heavy lump in it (after over 12 hours), and I have absolutely no engery, my lower back aches, I coughed for hours to get the flem out of my throat, no feeling of well being. I FEEL AWFUL!!! Was it worth it? NO WAY!!! Its devestating to me the difference of how I felt yesterday, so vibrant and energized and alive. Today I feel 1/2 dead! Man if that doesn't show the difference in live food -vs- dead food what can? I'm sure the adatives, sodium and cooking stuffs added to it. However I guess if I can store this feeling in my brain I may have learned a very valuable lesson. Live food really does make me feel so much more alive!

I can't go back to eating and feeling that way all the time. Not now that I have learned another, much better way of eating. I knew I had to sit down and make this post before I made my mornings green smoothie. Because I know once I drink it I will start to feel better. So I had to record all my thoughts and feelings before I went for the good stuff! So if you doubt weather this way of eating really makes a difference. Please, take my word for it... this is a so much better way of eating and feeling. I just pray that results of last nights foible will be quickly washed from my system and help me to move ahead.
