I fell short today. Being honest and taking accountability!
I made a post yesterday about craving lentils and regrettably I gave in and ordered an Ethiopian veggie platter with lentils, chickpea stew, collard greens, green beans, split green peas, potatoes, cabbage, injera. All cooked! I ordered around 2:30pm this afternoon and it is now 11pm at night. After the meal I immediately fell asleep for 3 hours straight. I never sleep during the day! I’m heavy, gassy, brain fog, dry skin, blocked bowels, and just overall disoriented. I feel like I took a weed edible.
I will be fasting the next couple days to reset. And going on mostly fruit when I return to eating. I realize I have a salt addiction and will be reducing my salt intake significantly. Also cutting out almonds, cashews, and nutritional yeast. These are not raw. Walnuts, macadamia nuts, and pistachios can all be consumed safely raw. I have been addicted to the salty, creamy dressings I make for my salads and I know it’s unhealthy and not good for me.
This is an accountability post and I know I may receive criticism and backlash. As mortal Human beings, none of us are perfect and we all fall short at times! Maybe my story today will help others from making poor decisions by giving into food addiction cravings. God Bless You!
Edit: The next morning and I am also dealing with mucus buildup from the cooked food.
