I have a confession!

Yesterday was my husbands day off. Generally on his day off it's our "free" day. Our meals consist of: nachos, pizza, fried chicken, etc. etc... My husband is not quite on board with all the changes I've made (ie. the tuna fish lettuce wraps, he says "it's bird food, and he is going to waste away"). But for me, it's getting harder to eat nachos, pizza and fried chicken.
But last night he said he wanted fried chicken from KFC.
So, we went and got our fried chicken, mashed potato's/gravy and coleslaw. Oh, and let's not forget the biscuits!
We got home, ate our dinner, cleaned up and sat on the couch to watch a show.
I kid you not, with-in 30 minutes, I was lethargic, irritable, sick to my stomach and I had a MASSIVE headache.
I had been just fine all day, UNTIL I ate that meal. It was like it "sucked" the life out of me and then hit me on the head!

If you have been eating bad your entire life and you are now switching the kinds of foods you are eating, have you noticed a difference? Do you notice what happens to your body when you eat foods like; Pizza, Fried Chicken, Nachos, Etc. Etc?

I know I am still going to crave sweets, salts and fatty junk food, but my hope is that those cravings get less and less (and they have). I also know, it takes some will power on my part.
Plus, eating these kinds of foods, it doesn't make me feel good. We go to the movies maybe once a month. My favorite (or I should say, our favorite) is popcorn, cherry coke and raisinettes. Every time I leave, I am SICK to my stomach. Every time, without fail! I'm not listening to my body... my body is physically ill after I eat that stuff, but I still do. Maybe I shouldn't eat it, right?!

Today has been a much better day, I had:
Baked Oatmeal for Breakfast
Protein Smoothie for lunch
Apple, almonds and walnuts for my snack
And I will have leftover Meat Loaf for Dinner.

I just want all my fellow readers (eaters) to know, that it's okay to mess up and get back on track! If you are changing your diet, it's not going to happen overnight.
Eating clean tastes different and is different. I just hope you recognize, as I have recognized how it makes me feel when I eat that "kind" of stuff!
