while i was kicking myself at first, i am now kind of kissing myself for my slip-up last night:

after being 97% raw (occasional dark chocolate, hot tea, alcohol) for going on a month, i COMPLETELY broke it in a matter on minutes last night. i had gone to a party where i felt socially anxious beyond reckoning, i wanted to huddle up in a fur corner & fall asleep. i almost cried i was so confused there. i went home, turned on twin peaks with my roommate, drank some wine & got comfortable. she was comfortable with homemade macaroni & cheese, & i wanted the state she was in. so i helped myself to a small portion without a second thought. CHEESE, PASTA, MILK. they hadnt been in my diet for weeks. i didnt even finish my helping as it tasted like nothing. it really did not taste good to me, or like anything to me, & my roommate is an excellent cook.

after unsuccessfully trying to comfort myself with macaroni & cheese, i looked towards the other cookies & cakes we have around, & though luring, i actually thought about it before i made my move. i thought about how bland the mac & cheese tasted to me, how bland most anything else cooked is going to taste to me, & ate 2 immaculate oranges instead.

they exploded with good juice & i was sufficiently comforted. little jewels.

Same here, had a bite of potato salad at the salad bar, but it tasted so bland I didn't even have any more.

I was amazed tonight when I went to pick up a pizza for my kids and in the car on the way home, smelling it, it smelled a little like pizza herbs, but thats it! The last time I got them a pizza, when first going raw, my mouth was watering and I had to get away from it as fast as possible. amazing...
