Breaking the Fast Day 2

Foods consumed today: 3 nectarines, 1 leaf of lettuce sprinkled with sea salt and cayenne.

I had a nectarine for brekkie. It took me four hours to eat the whole thing. Four. Hours.

I chewed the hell out of each bite to tell my body "Hey, I'm eating again. Get ready!" . I probably took a bite every half hour. I just wasn't hungry. If you know me, THAT IS NOT HOW I USUALLY EAT. I just wanted to make sure I didn't feel too full. I've read some horrendous stories on blogs where people ate themselves into vomiting and cramping after breaking their fast too, uh, fast. I wanted to steer clear from that.

So far so good.

For a "snack" I decided to change it up a bit. I have been craving raw foods and my sense of smell is at superhuman levels now, so even lettuce looks appealing. I grabbed a leaf from the lettuce head in the fridge. Washed it. Dried it. Bit it.

Bitter.

I sprinkled it with my old familiar friends: Sea Salt and Cayenne. It was delicious. I'm not kidding.

My appetite is starting to pick up. Tommorrow I am going to a raw food takeout place in Burlingame with a friend. I can't wait. I am also going to meet some friends at Chevy's for dinner. I have no idea what I'll be ordering from there. I'd like to eat as much raw food as possible to keep my body clean. Chevy's doesn't offer much in that arena. So we'll see.

Technically, tommorrow is the last day before I can begin eating "regularly" again. Then I can stuff myself with Chalupas and cheese pizzas and curly fries all I want!

Just kidding.
