Today has NOT been easy. I woke up feeling okay. Had a few breakfast Popsicles. Rebekka came over and juiced while I decorated my nephew's birthday cake. Took a 3 hour nap. Drank some juice, watched part of Jane Eyre. Sneezed A LOT. Went to my nephew's birthday party. Wanted to cry when I smelled the turkey burgers with cheese and bacon and tomato and lettuce and pickles.
In all seriousness though, I don't feel awful. I don't feel good either. Just tired and spacey. A little light headed.
Rebekka and I decided to make a list as to why we're doing this. I'll get that to you tomorrow. I need help remembering.
Two reflections though: last night I was laying in bed and my stomach was growling and I told myself- this is nothing compared to the suffering so many people face. All those starving children and adults....it humbled me. Secondly, when I cut into a pear this morning I thought- I just really really want to eat this pear. I've never wanted to eat a pear. I hope that this feeling of valuing fruits and vegetables really stays with me throughout this process.
