I ate healthy for about a week—lots and lots of fruits and veggies. I was groovin’! Excited about new recipes and bright, flavorful, colorful meals! When I got to day eight or so though, sheesh I just wanted a dang tub of ice cream! And so I went for it! I had that tub of ice cream and then some! Pizza and a bunch of sugary snacks cuz what the heck! The sugar high + the thrill of rebellion was a real rush!!
Until... wow, I felt like a real lump on a log by the end of the day. I didn’t feel quite as limber as I had just that morning. I felt bogged down, not as clear-headed and when I looked in the mirror my face looked a little puffier and even my skin looked different.
Now, here I am this evening after eating a bunch of veggies today, the stuff I thought I was tired of and wanted to escape from. But I’m feeling light and practically buoyant compared to yesterday.
So this is just a note to self out into the great wide internet void that even when I think eating a bunch of wild and crazy treats is what I want... not a whole lot compares to the way your body thanks you for feeding it the foods that nourish it. I hope I remember that healthy food is cool! (:
