Participating in a detoxification program over the weekend has its ups and downs. For starters, I didn't have to pack a day's worth of food to carry with me, and I can make my trips to the bathroom as often as I like without feeling like a complete retard (drinking 3 quarts of water each day really tests the bladder).
However, the strict limits of this diet result in very few social activities. Sure, I could go see a movie, partake in a round of mini golf, swing by the coffee shop for some herbal tea, or invite my friends over for some soy yogurt and fresh fruit. But in reality, do people really want to do those things? No.
Between last night and tonight, I've had more random guys call and text me to go out than any other night. And you know...of course I would. Because that is just the kind of luck I have. Last night, I tried to avoid any questions about going out...but when the same people asked me to go out tonight, I spilled the beans (boiled and sea salted) about my strict detox program. That, of course, was taken as a lame excuse not to hang out.
Well whatever.
If I didn't want to hang out with someone, I would say it, or I would make up a better excuse than that, like "I already have plans" or "I have a boyfriend" or "I'm vacationing in the Virgin Islands."
But none of those are the case, which means it's time for me to get a life.
In other news, today I figured out that Whole Foods is a complete crock of shit. I ventured out to find some unique snack items that were detox-friendly and figured Whole Foods would be the answer to my prayers. Um, not.
I spent an hour inside that crazy busy place reading label after label after label. Nearly all of the Whole Foods-made products I can't eat. The fresh salsa and pico de gallo? It has salt. The sesame sticks? Salted. How about whole wheat raspberry bars? Nope, fruit concentrate.
I don't, and I never have, bought the organic craze. I see people in Whole Foods all the time buying organic potato chips or ice cream, and muffins. Hey tards! It's still going to make you huge. Pesticides aren't the reason we are all obese, it's the sugar, the salt, the dairy. And guess what? Whole Foods makes their foods with it and then they sell it to you for three times the amount of money.
By the grace of God, I found one brand of chocolate that was detox-friendly (the Endangered Animals brand), along with some soy yogurt. I also found a few protein bars that will be good, and picked some fresh olives from the olive bar. But other than the bottled caffeine free tea and the salad bar, Whole Foods has nothing to offer my food plan.
After waking up at 3 am this morning because I couldn't sleep, I stayed up to watch TV and eat fruit, naturally. I slept for a few hours, but have been awake since. I am desperately hoping tonight brings a better night's sleep. And my attempts begin now...
