Coming off an extremely rough emotional weekend. The only thing I did was eat and cry. In that order.

Just finishing reading “Dr. Neal Barnard’s Program forReversing Diabetes”. Pretty good book if it works. So yesterday was day 1 of the 21 day trial. No animal product what so ever. Didn’t think it was going to be that hard because I haven’t eaten beef or pork for more than 15 years, and haven’t eaten chicken since February(long story for another time). You also have to abstain from obsessive oil and fried food, etc. What really hurt like a knife through my heart was letting go of cheese and butter. I throw cheese on everything.

The book also talked about Volumetrics. After going to the store last night, everything I picked up would not qualify according to this theory. So I got alot of soy based products (cheese, mayo, yogurt, tofu) and have to figure out something.

I did cheat a little and purchased two small bags of potatoe chip. Small only compared to the large family bag. Okay usually I could eat a bag in one sitting and still want more, but I didn’t. I don’t know what it is about chips, but the crunch can calm my nerves, stop anxiety attacks  do everything that drugs can do. But I haven’t had any for about two weeks and last night was like a taste of heaven for me.

Had the soy yogurt this morning. Its a taste you have to get use to. I mixed a small apple, raisin and granola into it, it was okay, but it won’t be a staple in my diet, at least not yet.

I walked yesterday for about 40 mins. Didn’t feel like it today, maybe the chips really can make me feel out of sort. Just a thought.

Until next time.
