Monkey falls from tree

[monkeyboy]

Hi Everyone,


With just one month to go to conclude my one year raw, I fell from the banana tree.

Here's the news....read at your own risk.

I went to the best Italian restaurant last night and pigged out on mushroom stuffed ravioli and a few big bottles of Chianti. I ate the bread dipped in olive oil, I tried the cheese tray, I tried the squid, I tried the eggplant, and for dessert the chocolate flourless cake.Let's face it, I tried it all.


I feel like sh*t today.

When I explained to friends that I was eating cooked they were shocked and so floored they let me order for the whole table. Ready for this, my friend paid for everything.He was more excited about the chance of me barfing all over the place, that he paid for everything. I didn't get sick, but he sure wanted me to. I've still got it at the cooked table. I am the master of the food universe. What am I talking about???????? I've lost my mind!!!!!!!

I'm domed....once the word hits the street, all in my town will now call me a phony.........

To the market I go with tail between legs in search of fresh fruit and veggies. I hope no one spots me. Shame....Shame.

I will understand if my raw friends throw me to the curb and the posts are hurtful. I deserve it.


It is time for healing.



Peace,

The Bloated Monkey.......M.B.

Now you know full well no one here is going to bash you. I know you've read enough of our posts and journals to know better than that M.B.!

And as for your town and your "friends"...well, you've done this well for almost a year NO one can say anything about you and your mishap. You ate, you learned...now put that loin cloth back on, climb your butt back up in that tree and give a us a big strong Tarzan yell!

It's OK, Monkey. You paid your price, now it's time to detox that junk out and move on! If anyone gives you a mean post, tell me and I'll knock 'em out for you.

You aren't a phony- you control your own life and if you wanted to eat cooked, who can yell at you for that? It's not their decision! That's one reason why raw foodists are said to have an eating disorder- they become so preoccupied with food and start judging everyone else's lives and decisions- an inappropriate waste of energy on their part, IMO.

Poo on your friends wanting you to get sick- is that friendship, wishing that your buddy would ralph? :confused:

I have a question though- did it taste as good as you thought it would? When I have been raw for a while (off and on over the past year and a half) and then I eat cooked, it never tastes nearly as good as I thought it would and then I really regret doing it in the first place.

Maybe be thoughtful in how you answer that question to be in consideration of those having mad cravings. ;)

Hope you feel better soon! (Just think, most people feel as bad as you do today every day, if not worse!) There is a quote, I don't remember it exactly: If you make healthy decisions on a regular basis, a slip up isn't a big deal, but if you make poor choices on a regular basis, a salad won't help you much. That's the gist. LOL :D

Ouch . . . my stomach just cringed in empathy! But good for you for having such a positive attitude. You're getting right back with it!

Rawkinlocs,

You know me too well.

I'm right back up after a bad day. I'm a pretty optimist guy in general.
