DAY SIX

Only two more days to go! Today was actually the first day that I felt better. Not completely whole, but okay. My headache was finally subsiding, the pain in my legs was slowly leaving my body; I was almost myself. Now if I could only snag a caramel macchiato, my world would be spinning in a sane universe. And really, how could I feel bad? The day was golden, glittering and clear. I have terrific friends and an awesome family. My little girl is miraculous. My boyfriend rocks. I live in a place that people dream about visiting. I needed to put it all into a big box of perspective.

Throughout the day I didn’t crave any cooked food like I did the other days. I felt fine just consuming salad and fruit. And I wasn’t terribly hungry, either. I just snacked all day. After my last meal, I topped it off with apple slices spread with peanut butter and it was very satisfying. Hopefully my last day will be equally as agreeable because since I began this diet, I have been evaluating my eating habits. I have especially been taking account of the emotions associated with how and what I eat. I don’t want to wax poetic about it until I am completely finished with the experience, but if anything, that will be my biggest lesson.
