So on Wednesday and Thursday, I had some decaff coffee, some dark chocolate, a vegan burrito', 2 big cookies, 2 small cookies (vegan), some granola and soy milk, some tortilla chips with salt, and some nuts with salt. Well, the salt was very appealing. That is what makes the burrito taste good. But it had a negative affect especially on my healing arm. My arm and hand swell very easily so of course they swelled even more after eating that salt.
I felt quite yucky upon eating this stuff and got even more tired. For the first time in years, I fell asleep during a talk. Fortunately, I got tired of this after two days and started lusting after my healthy foods, and I got back on track on Friday. Both Friday and Saturday, I felt very tired and headachey--I never get headaches when I eat right!. Amazing, isn't it? Today, Sunday, I feel good again. whew. This week I will have a visitor and we will be going to nice vegetarian restaurants, but even there, I can't eat the food. It is so salty and oily. The salt is good going down but too unpleasant afterwards. It is a shame that I can't partake in the restaurant food because I really enjoy communal eating. But that is just the way it is. I will bring my food or eat beforehand and then just order some plain unappetizing salad.
As a good friend of mine says, "Onwards!"

I had a run-in with salt this weekend too and it's brutal! I sweat all night long - my body wanted it OUT!
Glad you are back on track! You are still an inspiration :)
Hi Kacy!
I guess it's good that we react so badly to salt. Otherwise that burrito would still be appealing to me. Right now, the unpleasantness of it all does turn me off. hopefully for a long time.

Thanks for your honesty. I do the same thing about giving into my cravings ("Oh well, at least it's vegan). But the problem is that I feel that I contaminated my body and make myself vomit.
I think it's more unhealthy to vomit than to contaminate your body. it's harmful for your esophagus and mouth and teeth. Do you agree with that?
