Yesterday was a really emotional day for me, for a lot of reasons that I refuse to get in to in a public forum. The end result was that I ended up binging that evening on popcorn shrimp and parmesan & garlic chips. I felt physically terrible afterwards, and it only made me more emotional. I've been exploring myself a lot lately, discovering what it really means to love yourself, and I know that I shouldn't have allowed that to happen. Food is a means I've used to punish and reward myself in turn for years and years, and it's time to be done with that now. A good friend said to me last night "Tomorrow's a fresh start. Things always seem brighter in the light of day." and she's exactly right. Food is intended to nourish our bodies. It's okay if you enjoy it, but nourishment should be the key. I don't feel nourished when I'm eating animals or animal products, and it's time to stop punishing my body when my heart or mind get a little down.
Still, I know it was ONE night of a setback, and I debated not even blogging about it. However, I feel that it's important for anyone following my journey to know that screw ups happen, but I have every intention of rebounding back with pride!
