just catching up on your journal...whats a jos louis? never heard of it. youre kinda making me want to go sugar-free. kinda! ive been there before and its no picnic. especially since im gluten-free and limit dairy, already. my best friend, ayesha, is observing ramadan and i cant believe her will-power. i keep telling her one year im going to fast, too, not for religious reasons but to cleanse and give my organs a rest, but just hanging out with her during the day makes me hungry!!! she doesnt go out much during ramadan to preserve energy...makes sense, i am crippled if i skip even one meal.

and about the food...i gave up all fast food joints and chain restaurants years ago, and its such a strange experience when im around people eating it. a friend was eating chicken nuggets from wendys just this afternoon, and the smell was literally making me nauseous. i do eat chicken nuggets, but i make them at home and they dont smell or look like that- at all! (i coat them in besan/rice flour). its weird how your body will adjust and then try to protect you. our ancestors would probably never touch some of the processed garbage passing as food.
