Real food month begins

We took an impromptu trip out of town this weekend, which meant that I was ill-prepared for today. For breakfast/lunch (I slept late), I ended up eating some wrinkly grapes and three tomatoes.

I have been so. hungry. all day.

I’m thinking that planning five whole days of raw food may have been a little extreme, especially since this salad I’m eating would be so much more satisfying with just one little chicken breast. I’m going to cut back to three days for the raw food cleanse, but today has shown me, if nothing else, that I needed to go cold turkey on some stuff. I’ve practically been doing the junkie shuffle all day for a friggin’ cheeseburger.

Which, of course, made grocery shopping hell. Ever since I decided to do this challenge, I’ve been noticing exactly how much crap they sell in grocery stores vs. real food. I’m not saying people should never, ever, ever eat junk food–but if the proportions of processed food to real food that they sell us is the same proportions that we generally eat, it’s easy to see how Americans are fucking ourselves over healthwise.

I also had a moment at the farm stand when I was loading my groceries into the car. I popped a grape tomato in my mouth and . . . it was awful. Like, awful. It took my brain several seconds to comprehend the difference between what I was tasting and what I was expecting to taste. As it turned out, I had simply plucked up a bad one that was rotten in the middle, but for that moment before I spat it out, I wondered not what was wrong with the tomato, but what was wrong with me that the tomato didn’t taste right. I didn’t trust myself at all. I hope that isn’t the case by the end of this month.

I still really wish I had a piece of sj’s cake, though. (Edit: Not that her cake isn’t real food, it’s just that, this raw cleanse thing. And also she is kinda far to give me cake.)
