I succumbed to.....

Potato wedges in Pizza hut yesterday evening. I was going to see Tori Amos and met a group of fans and we all went somewhere to eat. I though this will be ok, I mean, they have salad even though not organic I'll just eat that coz even when I was SAD I really have never liked the taste of pizza. I think melted cheese has always tasted really rubbery to me. Anywho, when the waitress came I sad just a bottle of water and a salad bowl please.......Oh and some potato wedges! HUH? What the heck did I have to say that for?

I ate them all so slowly. Everyone finished their pizza's and I was still eating. I was eating with trepidation. Okay they did taste nice but I didn't really 100% want them.

When we were all chatting one of the girls placed her head on her bag and we asked if she was okay. She said:

"yeah, I just cant keep my eyes open. Oh man I am always sleepy after pizza". And wadaya know? I felt myself nodding off also. After the (amazing) gig had finished another one said she had trouble staying awake through some of it.

I woke up this morning and my eyes feel SO puffy and it took me ages to feel "awake"

I cannot beat myself up over this though. I made the descision, I knew the way they would make me feel so there is no one to blame. The trouble is....I don't think I have learned my lesson yet. I do not want to eat cooked food. My back feels better after my fortnightly visit to the osteopaths and my calcium levels and B12 levels are normal (after MORE blood tests) and I just want to get healthy.

Well I am off to make my litre of green smoothie and seed pate.

Much love

Yea, don't beat yourself up! It happens to all of us, so you're not in the boat alone! Just keep paddling! You fall off, just get back on! The important thing, I think, is that you do get back on. And, you're doing that. Eating Pizza makes me sleepy too. Take a moment though, before you eat next time, and imagine you've already eaten the cooked food. How do you feel? I ask myself that before I eat and it keeps me from eating cooked foods...

Yes, I like that idea. I was in a fantastic mood yesterday but my skin felt crappy. My thoughts were....well if it feels bad anyway....which is ridiculous thinking. Well I just drank a litre of green smoothie with Spinach, parsley, thyme, orange, banana alfalfa sprouts and brocoli sprouts and I feel nice now....:) :o

What's done is done, just move forward from here.

And woo hoo, Tori Amos! I'm envious.

Yeah but you learned from it! Hypnocmt mentioned something I'm often implementing where I carry an avocado in my purse for those awful restaurant salads. One of my friends ragged on me for doing it and I jokingly responded, "Yeah but don't you wish you were as energetic as me!"
And Pizza Hut in London England? I apologize on behalf of America!
