We're entering the second week of the new year. And in 2008, I have pledged to do my darnedest to avoid refined and processed foods in this refined and processed world we call modern America.
I was doing just fine — no Diet Coke, passed on the ice cream, all about the roasted sweet potatoes for lunch and then — bam!!!! — they plowed into me like a runaway donut truck from 2007: Christmas cookies. And not just any Christmas cookies, but yummy peanut butter and chocolate buckeyes, lemon squares, Mexican wedding cake balls and chocolate chip cookies.
Life is not fair.
Especially when trying to go unrefined.
Well, I gave in to the coworker-be-blamed treasure trove, and my pounding head, racing heart and utter inability to concentrate remind me exactly why I was trying to avoid white sugar and flour in the first place.
No one said avoiding the demons of the SAD (standard American diet) was going to be easy. But it is definitely worth it.
