Day 7 - Last Day

Today is a bitter sweet day. It has been fun to gain control of my cravings and to try something new. I think of all those countries, all those people who can eat food when they can get it. Who don't have the luxury of choosing what they want. They may only get one meal that whole day. To them, any food is a blessing and something to be thankful for. They eat in order to live. I think about how my life has been. I would be upset at a restaurant if my steak wasn't cooked just right. I look into the fridge where food is and say "there is nothing to eat" because nothing in there looks good. I have been so selfish with "needing" to have food. I don't need it. I shouldn't demand it. If a small amount of nourishment that may not taste as good as a Pizza Hut pizza does not satisfy me, then I am living it all wrong. Our God has said that we have herbs, fruits, and animals to eat with wisdom and thanksgiving. I can say that I have not been doing either. I hope that after today I am more thankful, more wise, and less picky about what I eat each day. I hope I do not forget the importance and connection that the physical has with the spiritual. To overindulge one in bad things is to hinder the other. I will be so happy and thankful to be able to eat meat, grains, and even the full fruit and vegetable tomorrow. I know that men was not meant to live on a liquid diet. But I will be sad to leave this introspective state that I have put myself in. I hope it doesn't fade. My breakfast and lunch were made with produce that I used up so as to not have them go bad, not really caring about the taste. Breakfast was good, but had quite the zing to it (I'm nor sure why, unless it was the parsnips). It had pineapple, kale, celery, ginger, red cabbage, parsnip, orange, and mango. What I made for lunch tasted good when I made it last night, but when I drank it today it was very gross. It had sweet potato, radishes, carrots, lime, and a pear. I was planning on having my sweet red kale drink for dinner and some pine needle tea, but I fell asleep when I got home from work and have no desire to juice now that I'm up. I think it is because I'm in the mindset of eating food tomorrow. Day 7 down, onward I go.
