Today I suffer...

As a result of yesterday's foolishness! Here's what happened:

I've been on a highly raw diet lately, since my 10 day juice cleanse. Well, a few days ago, I bought some organic chicken carcass - cheap and the amount of good meat in it is enough for 2 meals (risotto style), which suits me as I'm trying to eat less meat anyway. So, I made a big pot of soup using the meat and added a whole of veggies in it. First day was fab as the veg were undercooked, so lots of nutrients still within. Yesterday however, the veggie goodness was nil, especially as hubby boiled the whole pot again for dinner. Of course, being hungry not having eaten anything substantial but fruit all day, and having played netball, I 'treated' myself to 3 bowls of soup. Felt okay, went to bed. This morning however, I didn't feel right I felt so uncomfortable and bloated all day! My body is definitely telling me something. I've not been able to face any food all day, not even fruit. My body is still trying to digest the 'healthy' broth I had last night - I can still taste it in my burbs. I've felt rotten all day and the day was such a struggle, all I want to do is stay in bed.I wonder if I'm ill and this whole thing is a coincidence, or am I struggling because of the highly cooked meal I had after 2 weeks of mostly raw live foods? I feel toxic - like I'm on day 2 of a detox programme and I'm suffering. I'll see how I feel tomorrow, but my gut instinct tells me I ate wrong last night and that's why I'm having a hard time. I've learnt a valuable lesson - stop and think before you eat. I've felt only great on a highly raw diet. I'm definitely listening to what my body is telling me right now and will feed it more raw and living foods. It is written!


Another thing.... I had some awfully scary dreams last night! Been reading up a lot on cancer (work ad courses), and this is one disease I fear more that all others. I dreamt I had breast cancer. I was dying, and these nasty lumps were all over my breasts. Too scary. I spent lunch hour today in a chapel, just taking it easy and praying as I could not bear to smell food all day. Still can't. I pray that was just a dream, but Lord, why cancer? One thing is for sure. More living, live foods for this body of mine from now hence forth! Perhaps this is my little moment of change - everyone that changes something in their lives drastically has a moment, right? This is mine. Now, off to enjoy a refreshing orange - it's all I feel I can tolerate right now...
