a slow death....

well, yesterday i said goodbye to Taco Bell.
and today i threw out my last one liter bottle of diet pepsi.

both tasted SO good yesterday, when i was hungry at the mall.

SEE!?
what on earth am i going to do when i'm hungry and not at home to cook/whip up something? i love that i say that as though i've EVER "whipped up" anything. heh.

i actually craved more soda last night and found myself going thirsty for a long time. i was super reluctant to go for water. water is for...you know...when you're really thirsty on the beach, or after a workout, or....i dunno....never? with that said, i ended up needing to just bite the bullet and pour a big glass of boring water. wasn't bad. wasn't great. but it did quench my thirst in a very...boring fashion.

i've decided i'm not going to THROW anything in my fridge away, all in the name of this experiment. i may be trying to eat better, but at the expense of tossing out perfectly good food. but i have commited that anything i purchase to restock my fridge/pantry, will be done with the intention of going organic/local from this point forward.

so in a sense...it's cold turkey, but not EXACTLY cold turkey. a slow death. but for the good!

on a final note, i'm meeting some other mothers for lunch tomorrow -- old coworkers of mine! it's been decided that we'll converge at a pizzaria. uh oh. PIZZA! probably not organic and probably not local. so now what? ...i guess the best i can do is try to eat as naturally as possible, without forcing 5 other people to end up at some holistic joint, munching on seeds, wheat and overpriced barley/dairy/produce.

...i'm just not sure i'm the right girl to take on this challenge...sigh. omg, it's only day #2!!!
