drinking the green kool-aid

Green kool-aid is how I like to describe the cult-like experience of raw food, or really any crazy diet. People always seem half-fascinated and half-horrified by my commitment to cleaning my colon, so I thought I'd share my experiences in excruciating detail. As with any train wreck, it's hard to look away. Nonetheless, I've managed to pick up some comrades along the way, as a result of my dear friends' curiosity and solidarity. Others interested in drinking the green kool-aid, holla.

The next few days.

Monday:
--scrambled egg (1)
--chinese chicken (it's back!)
--roasted chicken, a small piece of sweet potato (definitely 1/2 c or less), salad with lettuce, tomato

Tuesday:
I was in a lot of tooth pain and all I wanted was a pastry and some tea. Is saying, "but I only ate half" the equivalent of saying I didn't inhale?

--scrambled egg (1)
--small piece of sweet potato; a piece of brie
--small serving of soba (buckwheat noodles), chicken, kimchi dumplings, a few carrots (not a totally legit meal, but not totally a bust due to portion control/restraint)
--peach/cardamom tart; tea (I needed it)
--whole grain pizza (probably more than I should have); lemon-rice soup (with brown rice!)
--the remainder of the tofu pudding (which was not very much)

Wednesday:
--piece of frittata
--lunch out: sausage, peppers, onions, mushrooms, one slice of potato. Note: I did not eat the amazing, always warm, delicious bread from club lucky.
--whole grain pizza (probably more than I should have); salad

Not sure how good I've been this week, but I'm still about 5 pounds down, so I'll take it. Also, I think it's okay to eat some forbidden foods, within reason. I feel like my awareness of carb portion is really good so I haven't been terribly overeating. (And, the less I eat carbs, the better I am at not overdoing it when I do.) I also feel like my blood sugar is really under control; no starving, no crashing; no real desire to snack; no panic from being hungry.
