I’ve been eating incredibly different recently—much less, for one thing, and a much larger percentage of that is fruit. Vegetables are getting hard to come by, and that’s stupid, I need to do something about that. But there’s one reflex that’s giving me a hard time and it has to do with sugar.
Before, I was putting all kinds of sugar in things to make them taste good. But now, I don’t really need it… it’s not really a big deal. I’ve been eating oatmeal with a little bit of honey and a little bit of brown sugar. It’s food. It doesn’t have to taste like The Ascension. It’s for fuel.
But this morning the reflex nabbed me and I put far too much honey and brown sugar in my oatmeal. I couldn’t finish it—I ate about half of it and started to feel sick. Blech. Learn to listen to those internal alarms…
I probably had too much honey in my tea last night, too.
I just want to learn this lesson before my body goes back to tolerating large amounts of sugar, you know? It’s just not worth it…
There’s more, too. Sometimes all my body wants is water. It doesn’t want food at all. I keep drinking my chai thinking that’s what I’m craving and the ick just builds and builds until I put the chai across the desk and grab the water, ah HA, that’s what I wanted. It’s confusing! These are difficult things to cement in my brain when I’ve been living on huge meals and sugar for so long.
