So this is insane but I'm going to say it here in my journal. Some of my enjoyment of eating SAD was the going out for it in an impulsive manner. So now I am allowing myself that pleasure but with food that will give me life. Today I wanted pizza so even though I have a ton of stuff to cook in the house I went for the E2 pizza crust. Oh well...whatever it takes. My girl and I are having pizza!

This isn't a new concept to me as I've thought before that I care for others better than myself sometimes. But for a moment I considered myself as someone I'm caring for and all of a sudden I felt this gentleness and lost the judgment. I could see how well I've been doing.
Normally all I can see is the weight that shouldn't have been there in the first place and can't congratulate myself on losing another lb. That's bullshit. With that attitude I would never feel good about myself. OMG the shit I've been doing to myself! Here I've been eating well for awhile and the fear that I'll stop and the regret of not being further along have kept me from enjoying my success. This has got to stop. I would beat sense into anyone else for this because I recognize that if we don't embrace the change and feel good about the positive results why do it? I need to unleash that joy.
Perhaps I'm on the road to success?

I've been spending time on the facebook groups and watching wfpb videos. I got into a bit with someone about Dr Esselstyn's greens list. The person was saying the recommendation to eat greens at every meal should be from that list and I just said it was a bit limiting...there are so many more greens out there. An Asian lady said she was trying to adhere to the recommendation but wishes the greens she grew up on and currently eats were on the list which caters to a caucasian palate. And I agree. The response was this is not about race. I felt sad. We white folk are so clueless sometimes. It's part of our privilege that we can't get that it could be a game changer for someone to feel like they are doing well when they eat foods from their culture....healthy shit mind you....water spinach, gai lan, etc.
Anyway....I'm eating good. That's all I got.

I had to give up reading comments sections everywhere because the trolling upset me. I believe that just because we have an opinion doesn’t mean we need to share it unless we think it will be helpful. On the flipside it would also be nice if people were not so ready to be offended. Lol, being human is hard and communicating with other humans is harder still.
