Its been awhile and right now I am a little at a loss for words. I have an answer - sort of - to my extreme stomach pain - gallstones. Well I am not sure I believe that is the sole cause but in the end it all comes down to diet. High fat - such as cheese and cream are supposed to exacerbate any gallstone issues. Funny I thought I was just becoming lactose intolerant and in some ways I guess that is what it means. My body is starting to suck at dealing with high in fat foods. Alcohol too. I have noticed a serious impact when drinking vs not about how my stomach/gut feel. Oddly it does not really stop me nor have I been compelled to change my diet.
I read about healthy organic whole foods - rather than processed garbage - and I totally agree. I think about making foods that support the environment and are better for me and yet I am paralyzed into cooking and eating better foods. It all feels so overwhelming. So many choices, recipes and work and it is so much easier to have a quick prepared high fat, high calorie, emotionally satisfying - kicking my body's ass meal. Wouldn't it be interesting to challenge myself to only eat non packaged fresh fruits and veggies. To make myself cook and eat "whole foods" for a while. I know I would feel better in the end. Something to ponder.
Speaking of challenges something else I have been pondering is to ban myself from the endless hours of the internet so I can actually get some things done. Limited internet time is something that I think would be good for me as it would allow me to stop using the distraction of the time wasted lost in the interwebs. I am amazed at how fast time can fly and 15 minutes of meditation can pass in a blink of an eye and I lose hours like I am breathing.
Lots of thoughts but I am still trying to find my head after my gallstone debacle. Tomorrow is another day.
