Raw diet, day ten…revenge of the processed foods!
Sweet Jesus, I crashed and burned on the raw foods diet today. After my reading at the Tidewater Barnes and Noble in Norfolk, Virginia, I had 12 hours to kill–I was at the mall, absolutely starving, and there was nothing to eat. I thought, “Screw it, it’s Saturday, one day off the regimen while on tour won’t kill me.” And so…oh, God, I feel embarrassed just admitting it…I had Burger King. I know. I know. It was that, Sbarro, China King, or an ice cream sundae. I tried to choose the lesser of the evils by having a chicken sandwich, but the damage was done. I went to see “The Reader” afterwards and ordered a popcorn, Diet Coke and Sour Patch Kids. (Well, seeing as I was already on the path to destruction…) My stomach is currently killing me and I can’t wait to start afresh tomorrow. Bring on the veggies!

I know what you mean. I started my own “diet” mid-December (it’s really more eating healthy and cutting out all the chocolates). I had a bunch of desserts over the weekend and something about that makes me feel bloated and overall unwell. Back on the wagon STAT!
