For so long, whatever I'd eat didn't seem to be working for me. I'd feel hungry and get low blood sugar if I didn't eat, but then whatever I did eat would make my stomach hurt or churn, make me feel lethargic and foggy, or make my arms feel like lead. If it did help me feel better, then an hour later, I'd be sleepy, usually because it was something sugary. I definitely had Food Issues!
Yesterday I was feeling lethargic and draggy. I thought it must be detox, it was worse than usual. I know the best thing to do in detox is to not eat anything but I went ahead and had a green smoothie anyway. And immediately, my head cleared, I felt good - and I didn't have to pay for it later! I continued to feel good all day! Well, actually, I felt so good that, consistent with the 'if some is good then more must be better' way of thinking, I made an all-fruit smoothie an hour later - and still felt fine!
It may seem like a minor thing, but it's major to me. Finally, food that doesn't hurt, or make me feel like a slug! In another thread, someone said they had stopped thinking of food as comfort and were starting to think of food as sustenance. I think food is beginning to be that way for me!
