~Lesson Definately Learned~

Today's been a loooong interesting day! I got up after not enough sleep, had to go out soon after, no time for breki, ran around for a few hours, came home starving, ate 9 or 10 mandarin oranges (wish they'd been organic, but mmmm, were they good!)...
...then had company awhile, made a BIG salad when they left, enough for tonight AND tomorrow, but ended up eating it ALL tonight! (In two sittings, a few hours apart!) Used most of my sunflower seed sprouts, they were sooooo good! I felt soooo nourished & satisfied on a cellular level!
Then, I got a call from the nurse at camp where Hannah is right now...as soon as she said who she was, my heart started pounding!!! (She's riding horses there, & in the water!! Of course my mind went to the WORST that could happen!)
They were taking her to the ER for x-rays...she stubbed her toe! They thought it was broken! {It wasn't, just badly sprained!} Then, for some dumb old familiar stuff-my-feelings reason, I ate a chocolate bar...& immediately regretted it...& got an instant tummy ache!
Yes, lesson learned. That won't be happenin' again! (I haven't eaten emotionally for so long, (the other day I THOUGHT I wanted chocolate when I had my period but MY BODY said NO! You DON'T WANT THAT!!!} but it was just almost automatic, but it didn't comfort or help me, at all!!!)
I was given the bars today, put them aside for Hannah, but am going to just give 'em away or throw them out!!! The Bible says, "make no provision for the flesh", & that definitely applies here!
I did get a big watermelon for tomorrow, (to eat, juice, & maybe make a slushy/smoothie with oranges!) & avocados, so I can finally make some chocolate pudding!
The salad I made tonight was so incredibly delish, & TOTALLY satisfying (did I say that already?) that it's what I'll be making tomorrow, too! (But won't be waiting until dinnertime!)
Did I mention I LOVE Raw foods!????!!??!!!?
