So, here I am on Day 1 of my “Feed the Light Body Instead of the Meat Body” experiment. I’m following my inner directive on this one. What I’m hearing is :

Eat only foods that are one step away from sunlight.

Which means fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, and that is it.

And no alcohol or drugs of any kind

Of course, all of this brings up all kinds of fears in me.

I’ve been on restricitive diets before, but never have given up meat.

Funny, one wouldn’t think that would be so difficult to give up.

But for me, meat=security.

For example, bacon, egg and cheddar on a bagel means I don’t have to eat again for 5 hours. That to me, is security.

Just now, I cut up the carcass of turkey from last night. I didn’t eat any of it. But my mouth actually watered a little bit. Now I have to make dinner for my husband and boys as well as myself. I’m very hungry right now. This was what I was afraid of.

I took a leftover sweet potato out of the fridge and was going to heat it up and eat it. But without butter? Really?

I don’t have a microwave so I have to heat it on the stove. It seems like a lot of work. I also need to start dinner. Guess I will heat up the sweet potato.

I am going to need some help with this!

Right now I am going to cook a big batch of lentils. In fact, I came over to my computer to look up how to cook them, it has been so long since I cooked lentils that I have forgotten…
