Detox: Day CRAZY

Has anyone else ever started crying in the grocery store?  I'm not talking about uncontrollable sobbing or anything.  Just regular tears and quivering lips and stuff.  Because that was me about 45 minutes ago.  I am strolling through the grocery store, STARVING (since I spent my afternoon at Sears for what was supposed to be a simple oil change and turned into a dude, there's a giant whole in the wall of your tire and it could blow out at any second – what do you mean you've know it was there? – yeah, it can be a problem – no, you can't just patch it). 

I have never been so frustrated in the grocery store in my life.  I wanted bacon, for the nights that I eat eggs.  Of course, I couldn't have bacon because it is cured with SUGAR.  sweet, delicious sugar that fuels me.  Sweet, delicious sugar that has not crossed my lips in 8 days…. 

So I bought more stupid chicken.  And an assload of veggies.  I spent a fortune to buy tahini so that I can make my own hummus.  I don't even want a candy bar right now.  I want a banana and some Yo+ vanilla yogurt.  I want to make tacos with ground turkey, black beans and whole wheat tortillas.  But nope.  Not for me. 

Two more weeks of this misery before I can start trying certain foods again.  I assume that the hallucinations will start momentarily.l

OMG! You poor thing. I just made breakfast burritos with turkey sausage. Sorry I know it sounds like I’m bragging. Have you checked on turkey sausage or maybe turkey bacon? Why don’t you just make your own bacon and cure it with honey on the bbq?

I can’t have honey. I can’t have anything. Hence grocery store tears. Pathetic.

Yes, yes I have. Though mine was because I’ve lost my mind, not because of the lack of sugar. I think I’d rather it had been because of the sugar.
You’ll be fine. You will get through this. I need to start reading that book you gave me, but I can’t get away from Crackbook long enough to do so.

Morningstar Farms soy bacon, dude. After you get over wanting to spit the first bite out, you then become hopelessly addicted.
