No Resolutions!

Peace.

I haven't Built with y'all through the end of the year. I was celebrating!!! And by celebrating I was eating all the things. But I did indulge in moderation. Instead of eating the entire cake, I ate a slice and so on. I didn't make any resolutions either. Every year I have been making resolutions to make my diet and lifestyle healthier and healthier. I think I've hit the wall on the balance of healthy vs unhealthy. I know I shouldn't eat candy... I shouldn't.... But I will. I should not eat fast food, because food might not be an accurate description. But I do. When I travel, I don't travel with food. And isn't that what fast food is for? So I've gotten to the point where I don't need resolutions.

I noticed some stuff....

Firstly.... I can't eat dairy. I knew I couldn't drink milk or eat ice cream. But cheese.... For some reason I thought I could do cheese and the complex dairies. Apparently I can't. I haven't been eating a lot of cheese lately. Why? I'm not really sure. But I made some lasagna for the 7. He loves my lasagna. And he has a cast iron skillet for a stomach. Well last night I decided in lieu of cooking something for myself, to eat lasagna. Well..... I started to have an allergic response instantly. It was disturbing because it lifted sores in my mouth. But I kept eating. It was really good... then I started sneezing, wheezing, eyes and nose watering. And that was not worth it. I had to take an allergy pill. When I got up this morning.. It came out. So there's that. My throat is still sore and my gingiva hurts from where the sores were.

Secondly, I can't do liquid fasts as I have been. I just can't anymore. When I fast I get sick... like pass out sick. It also triggers my vertigo. This can't be good for me. I can't be that toxic on the inside. So now my all liquid fasts are replaced with raw food days. I suppose I'll have to change the 3 week liquid fast I do to a month long raw feast. It's disheartening. I used to look forward to the deep annual cleansing. I feel like I'm getting old and my stomach is betraying me.

I really need to get this vertigo under control. If it keeps going like it's going I'm not going to be able to leave the house. The dizziness... the vomiting (I now carry bags with me in case I need to vomit)... the headaches (the only time I ever used to get headaches was when my period was within a week from onset).... This has to stop. It is interfering with my quality of life. So....... I'm going to the physician.

As much as I HATE physicians... They are necessary. It's not like I'm going to find a brain tumor on my own. But I'm not going in there and gonna totally accept what they tell me without doing the Knowledge for myself.

It is what it is

Aww, I really want to talk to you about all this health business! (And about how regular pasteurized dairy is the complete opposite of raw milk products -- there's a huge chance all the bad effects you're having is because the process of pasteurization removes all the good enzymes and replaces them with stuff which creates a product that can kill you. But don't get me started. Remember I didn't eat dairy for 30 years? Now I know better and can eat raw milk cheese all day long. It's actually GOOD for you all the ways pasteurized dairy is bad for you.)

But what I really want to say is that on top of everything else, I'll always love you for your words. "because food might not be an accurate description"! Best reason I ever heard!

Backsliding on Home

All right, all right….. I know I’m prolly setting myself up for failure. Especially since I’m about to go to Show & Prove; and y’all know how it’s done on vacation… But… I think…. I am going to get back on the “raw food” bandwagon. Two reasons. 1st reason: I feel guilty every time I put non-raw food in my mouth. And I try to rationalize it all out by eating a salad with it. Imagine how it all looks, BK (just an example. I don’t do fast food on the reg) veggie burger with cheese and all the fixins, onion rings (cause I only eat McDonald’s fries) a vanilla shake and a side salad. I rationalized that the fixins and the salad are raw and therefore count toward my goal of ‘high raw’. NOT. 2nd reason: And most importantly…. This morning I put on a dress that I couldn’t wear last summer. The dress was so tight I felt like a sausage in it. I almost gave it to Goodwill. But I wanted to wear a sweater today that I rigged last night and this dress was a good fit. I expected to have to wear al...

"I Itch"

I have eczema. I have had it since I was a small child. My mother reports I’ve been spotted since infancy. I remember getting in trouble on purpose just to get the beating that would satisfy the itching for a minute. That weirded my Ole Earth out. I remember one of my godmothers used to slather me with bacon grease. She swore that that would calm the lesions. It did to some degree. But the dog became very friendly afterward. I still have outbreaks. Most of the time it’s a small outbreak. 80% of the time it occurs only on my arms, legs, and back. But it can pop out anywhere. Don’t sleep on adult eczema. It can get really bad, disfiguring and incredibly painful. I put it, mostly, on the weather. I usually have outbreaks in the winter or if I go somewhere and the weather is distinctly colder than my regular climate. I ALWAYS get something in the winter time. Whether it be light patches just where my bra strap rubs against my skin or all over my body. It feels like little need...

Skirting the Issue

I put on a skirt this morning. That’s not impressive. I put on a skirt every morning. I don’t generally where pants outdoors. I pulled this skirt out of the dryer. Guess what? It is loose. Real loose. I am happy dancing. You gotta be mindful of the history of the skirt. This garment began its life as pants about 5 years ago. Back then I was still wearing pants. When I decided to cease my slacks wearing ways and actions, I did not want to incur the expense of having to replace garments that I wore on the regular. It made perfect sense, since I sew, to convert pants to skirts. That’s what I did with the skirt I’m currently wearing. The trick is the skirt will be a pencil skirt if you don’t have material to add. And who does? Also my skirts have to be long. (3/4) So I have these fitted pencil skirts that used to be pants hanging in my closet. They serve the same function that they did when they were pants. Maybe I’ll blog about why I don’t wear pants later. I said all that to...
