Paying for Slip ups!
You wouldn’t think that one slip would have such consequences. All of a sudden I am aware of exactly why I have been feeling so crappy for such a long time!
Last evening Jim came home with subs. My fave is a club on parmesan oregano bread with loads of veggies and cheese. I at the whole thing!! (foot long not 6") and savored every bite.
I felt a bit of a headache, and pretty sluggish by bedtime, but who doesn’t feel sluggish at 12:30 at night! This morning though WOW I have fluid filled sacs under my eyes, and my eyeballs feel grainy, like the wind blew some sand in there. I also have a headache!
I have felt for some time now that I had a wheat sensitivity, and I often have this kind of reaction when I ate processed meats before. I just never really drew the line between what I was eating and those puffy sacs under my eyes some mornings!
So today I am going back to raw, having learned a valuable lesson. I won’t say that I’ll never eat a sub again, but at least when I make that choice in the future I will be fully aware of what the consequences are!
I made a huge fruit salad yesterday that I can munch on all day. I will be drinking several pints of fresh juice today including a big glass of cucumber and celery to flush out my system. I still have some fresh veggies, but getting low so I will make a trip to the market again today. I need to go through the detox again but I feel better just thinking about it, so it’s going to be ok. Getting back on track doesn’t seem to get me down. :-)
This brings me to something I’ve been wondering about. We all have a few vices that can through us off for a day, a week and sometimes permanently. My biggest temptations are salty crunchy snacks… potato chips especially, but pretzels as well. I can say no to any kind of chips except for Lay’s Salt and Vinegar chips. I would walk ten thousand miles for a bag of those! LOL
What about you? What can derail you, and how do you avoid it? If you do slip up, do you get right back on track?
I will be working on the forums for most of the day since it is raining today and we won’t be going boating. UGH we’ve had a lot of rain this past month. Hopefully August will be better!

Thanks for comments on my blog yesterday. Glad to have found your site too!
I’m a Cheetos Crunchits girl. If I get my hands on a bag of those I’ll just keep eating until they are gone. Then the salt usually leads to a binge of Mike n Ikes and some huge-ass chocolate bar. Then I feel all puffy (like after your sub) in the morning.
I hate trigger foods.

Mmmmm… love those salty crunchies! I don’t do it much anymore, but I do still love them! I can definitely down a bag o’ Cheetos. Pretzels… yum. Tortilla chips, good with those too. Oddly, I never did potato chips as much as the other stuff.
I’ll take a wild stab and say I don’t think Subway wants to see this post. :) Jarred is checking his puffy eyes in the mirror right now. My guilty food is pretzels, and I want the big hard kind with plenty of salt. The next day they just kind of lay in my stomach and I need at least a week away from them before I feel better.
