Clarity

For the past few months, I have become a pretty healthy eater. In part due to weight watchers, and in part due to my realization of the importance of the food we eat, and what we put in our bodies. I have cut out fried food, try not to eat out as much, each a lot of whole grain and veggies, and incorporate raw foods as much as possible. Well... last night David, Lindsey and myself went to Sam's on 21st for a few happy hour drinks. David and Lindsey ordered food, and I ate A TON of their french fries. I'm talking like the equivalent of 1.5 baskets almost. I have no idea why I did this, but around midnight last night, I was in the bathroom, throwing up. I was so sick! I got up for work this morning, and barely made it there, then as soon as I did, I threw up again! I ended up having to leave work for the day, and am still in bed with a cramping stomach. I chalked it up to food poisoning, because that is what happened to my body. I put this horrible food in it and it has rebelled. As soon as I can keep anything down I'm hitting a salad like no other. 

Ok, maybe not kill, but ouch

The culprit

I have learned my lesson when it comes to the food I used to eat. They are ok in moderation, but I cannot eat the way I used to, my body just cannot handle it, and frankly doesn't want to! From now on French fries will be forever replaced with home cooked baked sweet potatoes, or baked potato chips. 

If your interested in healthier eating check out the documentary Food Matters. It is amazing and really will shift your ideas on food, nutrition, and why we eat! (They don't recommend eating french fries either)

Much Love,
