Never Again

I broke today and went off my healthy veggie lifestyle for sheer CRAP. I was starving because I just had a bowl of oatmeal at 6 am before I went to my race and by the time 4pm hit..after a couple hours on the road and running around I was getting dizzy and suffering from headaches. I resorted to the worst of the worst of the worst times a million of foods. Taco Hell. I ate one thing and almost immediately felt sick. I wasnt even thinking about better choices I was thinking about not fainting-I was THAT hungry. I also wondered HOW IN THE WORLD my diet consisted of that crap all the time:sick:

    Lesson learned: Never let yourself get so hungry that Taco Hell seems like a good idea :)

    I have also learned that lesson the hard way. :)

    It is AMAZING how quickly our bodies learn to reject poor quality food. I've eliminated several things from my diet (especially white bread) Had some the other day - oh boy did I feel sick. ON the upside though, remembering ow badly it made you feel should stop you from eating them again :glasses: :glasses: :glasses:

    I like Taco Bell. :(

    But yeah, try not to let yourself get that hungry. I do that a lot but its better now that I am home most of the time and I don't buy junky food.

    I felt like on biggest loser when jillian ate that crap and threw up. I turned ghost white and had that infamous sick feeling. It is amazing how you get used to treating your body right and that happens. I learned a HARD lesson. I will refresh my palate tonight with some vegan fare...

    I don't know where you live but here in Salem Oregon I have discovered where there is a taco bell there is a Subway within the next block or two! Also, last time I was in taco bell i noticed they have some sort of healthy menu too... regardless I'd rather hit up Subway:wink:

    What's up, Salem, OR? I've got a lot of family in your neck of the woods! I was in Salem for Christmas :-)

    I ate a bunch of sugary junk on Easter. It was tasty, but I felt terrible that night. It reminded me of smoking a cigarette after I had quit for a few years. My mind thought that I was going to LOVE it, I had missed it so much! It was actually kind of a good reminder for me. The reality didn't live up to my expectations at all.

    I think it's fine to have sweets or fatty foods, but I try to make it really worth it. And I try to keep my portions small.

    I'm with you...but I might argue the worst of the worst theory. McDonalds.

    I really wanted it, but haven't had any fast food for about 2 months. And now, McGurgle time.

    Well, I guess your body will tell you no, even if your brain says yes.
