It's week 4 of second semester and my body is ready to rip me a new one. To give you some background, my biggest worry about going to college in the first place was how dining hall meals would make me feel. I have a long history of most foods upsetting my stomach, especially heavier foods. That's the kind of food you usually get when it's being made in bulk.
Well, semester came and went with little issues. I felt like I was pooping all the time but you know, that's what happens when majority of what you're eating is carbs and cheese. That's about all I trust in the dining halls, at least.
This semester, it seems the quality of food has either significantly decreased or my insides are simply sick of the crap that's going in them. Probably the latter. I'm sick of it too. I love food but what fun is it when eating makes my stomach churn so much I'm afraid I might vomit. Yeah, no fun.
I'm exhausted. I'm bloated. My skin has been breaking out since I've gotten back to school. My emotions are completely out of whack.
I've had enough.
For the next few days, I'm going to try out a few juice cleanse drinks and switch over to eating only fruits and vegetables..and of course feeding my addiction to dark chocolate...in hopes of that something in that will clear out the grossness in my body.
I originally started this blog with a lifestyle and wellness positioning, as a way to share my journey and a way to hold myself accountable for goals I set out. That's what I'm doing here now.
We're all on a constant journey to try and understand our bodies and what makes us feel good versus what does not and this is yet another step for me.
Hopefully I'll be back in a few days with positive results from this change in diet and cleansing juices.
XOXO,
Gretchen
