A New Start

The past couple of months have been crazy, and sadly I slid into comfort eating with wheat and dairy. :-( Yesterday I started fresh, and I'm concentrating on eating to live rather than on eating to numb emotions.

Yesterday I had:
2 litres (quarts) carrot, orange, ginger juice - not all at once! lol
Green smoothie: baby English spinach, banana, peach
Large salad: two types of parsley, mignonette lettuce, tomato, continental cucumber, eschallots, green & yellow capsicum (bell pepper), endive, basil
1 iced decaf coffee

Today I've had:
2 litres carrot, orange, ginger juice - again, not all at once!
Green smoothie: banana, peach, raw honey, wheatgrass powder
More large salad
1 iced decaf coffee

After binging on biscuits (cookies) a couple of days ago: my lips broke out in heaps of small blisters; psoriasis came up on my nose, behind my ears, and on my eyelids; and my joints (mostly wrists, hands & ankles) ached with arthritic pain.

So I've decided that wheat is NOT good for me! I've given up on red meat completely, and have eaten hardly any chicken or fish over the past couple of months. I've started taking B12 supplements again, though I slacked off that for a while as well.
