Travelling backward...untill tomorrow.

Rate this Entry
Yes, I am still here......but way in the back, perhaps with a trenchcoat and hat on.
Well I think it's been a good month or so since I posted and I have concluded, once again, that being SAD is a terrible thing.
I am going to explain my issues, so that in hopes of remembering them in full detail next time, I read somewhere that is a good thing to do.
So right now I am dealing with major acne, major acne.
Yeast has practically married me.
My shirts have all shrunk.
My skin doesn't glow.
I'm shocked by my glances in the mirror in a bad way.
aaaah, and I'm sick.
My body feels like it's 90 and on it's way out.
And I just had my mouth swell up last weekend, well my tongue specifically. Tastebuds inflamed...canker sores. I am 'allergic' to whey (as in curds 'n'whey, which is cottage cheese, so the liquid which is often dehydrated and added to seasonings and desserts), but it's not a normal allergic response, it's an autoimmune response. So I don't have an anaphylactic shock, I have canker sores, swollen lymph nodes, tongue, fire mouth, feel like I am fighting off a flu or something, am more susceptible to illness and that's about it.
I have other autoimmune problems as well, platlet issues.
I cannot tolerate the sun at all, it seems I get sunstroke way too easily. I now need glasses all the time, and a wide hat, which I have yet to get or I will get the WORST headaches.
I am just aging way too fast for my liking. Things are really starting to catch up to me. I need a comeback. I need an after picture. I really need some bloody self discipline.
but for now, I need to get my kids in order and eventually tucked in so I can watch Prison Break.
I am fully planning to go raw starting tomorrow. I feel more apt since I have already accomplished raw for two weeks. I feel like the learning curve will be smaller. I feel happy about this. It will be easier and more second nature.

Well, I hope you all are having a good time all in all.
Tomorrow actually will come.
Anna.

    ahh~HAaaa... I thought that was you! Yes, I just read that on another blog too - that the second time around was easier - part of the reason being that they had a better understanding of the raw lifestyle. No worries Ana - you are a very strong woman... you'll be rawkin the house with your rawmacious self in no time!! good to have you back!! ;)
