| Better than cheese |
It’s been a
questionable weekend, food-wise. While I haven’t had refined sugar itself, I’ve
shoveled a lot of not-so-good refined whites into my face and I’ve eaten things
I know are pretty shoddy. It was interesting to note that a faceful of
strawberries definitely made me giddy – the blood sugar hike happens, even when
the sugar’s not refined. And too much dairy has invited back the eczema-seeming
marks around my mouth. Often they’re red, making me look like I’ve been caught
red-handed in the jam. Today, it’s all dry like shaved parmesan (yuk - I just grossed myself out).
So my body’s
helping. Less dairy, Claybourne. If you have to have it at all, stick to the
bits that won’t do harm. Stopping the tea and coffee hits will help. They call
out for milk where yerba maté and herb teas don’t. Even caffeine-packed green’s
a step on up from that. Soy's not great, but better than dairy for the moment, until I get organised enough to carry rice milk in my pockets.

| A gentle vegetable (not counting the prickles) |
It’s so easy to
slip back into stuffing habits. The focus here could be on breathing, drinking
water, noticing what’s up rather than finding things that borderline fit the
bill and stuffing them in my face. Make it a meditation. Make it count. And
keep that Buddhist-mindful approach in mind. Be kind. Like a courgette.
