Ugh!!
My belly is so stuffed with Mexican food! It was so fun to go out to dinner with my husband, son, mom, and step dad and pig out just like old times. It's funny, all of us (except my mom) are "into" raw, yet not one of us batted an eye about going out to eat. It's so interesting how we are programmed to associate eating with socializing. I don't regret the experience, only the fact that I didn't stop when I was full.
Oh well, tomorrow is a new day. I am learning to have patience and compassion with myself when I stray from what I KNOW is right for my body and what my body WANTS and NEEDS.
As my dear friend, Arnold Kaufmann, says "The body wants to be in a loving state at all times." So, what I learn from that when I reflect on it is this: Even if I pig out on Mexican food, I need to generate love and gratitude, not anger and fear. Guilt and self-hatred begets illness and dis-ease.
Adios,
Shawna
