It’s a little toooo ironic that on Thursday I wrote about changing my diet and then had yesterday happen. I wanted to buckle down and cut out the bad/processed/unnecessary food I was shoveling into my body. Thank you for your support, by the way! You all are so awesome!
Because I mentioned that I’d share my Journey to Find a Great Diet with you, I think that yesterday is a perfect place to start.
On Sunday, I cracked open a Paleo book (thanks, Kate!) in hopes of finding some recipes. I’m nowhere near the point of saying “Paleo or bust!” but I was hopeful I’d find some good dinner recipes.
Three dinners for this week came out of this book, and when I left for the grocery store, I was motivated. Ready to succeed.
I can handle this, I thought.
While at the grocery store, I made some regular purchases, but also made an effort to make mindful swaps.
I even decided I would have a small side salad with lunch, something I hardly ever do.
After arriving home, I made my salad bar lettuce/spinach mix and had a green salad with a serving of Annie’s pasta.
I thought, Okay, Colleen. You’re making small changes. Adding a salad is good and Annie’s is organic – so you’re on the right track.
Not 20 minutes after I finished my salad, I was throwing up. And continued to do so nine more times until I went to bed.
This is why I think God has a sense of humor and a love of irony. I put such an effort into changing what I was doing, being healthy, and making an effort to add extra nutrition to my meals.
And what do I get?
Food poisoning.
So after yesterday’s vomathon, all I can really say is, Someone pass me the goddamn Doritos.
Burger Bach!!!
I WANNA GO!!!!!
Cory, this comment confuses me.
Oh no!!! You poor thing! I hope you feel better today. Until you do, I wouldn’t start shoveling those Doritos quite yet!
I hope you are feeling better that really bites!
Eeek oh no! I hope you feel better soon!
I actually have a weird thing where I can’t eat lettuce (I can eat spinach, kale, chard, cabbage) because if I do, I blow up and look like I’m 6 months pregnant and get so sick. Ugh.
Oh no! Hope you feel better today. Baby steps are good. You can do it. And hey Doritos are gluten free, well most of the flavors!

Oh noooo! Feel better!! Just don’t let this convince you to not keep trying. You know, AFTER you finish those Doritos
Oh no, you poor thing!! I hope you start feeling better pronto!! Go enjoy those doritos girl
Ohhhh my god. Hahaha I’m sorry to laugh, but alanis morsette (I have no idea how her name is spelled) would have a field day with you, my friend! Hope you are feeling better!!!
I totally laughed out loud at your last comment… But you poor thing!! I hope you are on the mend today!! And don’t give up! You can do this
oh how miserable!! Hope you’re feeling better today.
Oh no, that is horrible!
OH no
I’m so sorry!
If I could, I would totally pass you a bag of doritos right now!!!
Lol – that’s just how life works, isn’t it?
Hope your feeling better!
Oh No! I hope you feel better! I couldn’t help but to chuckle a little at the irony – not your pain! haha
Oh no! That totally sucks. Uh, better luck next time, I guess. haha
PS – I’m a big fan of Silk almond milk, unsweetened. Silk knows their stuff!
When I’m feeling vommy, unhealthy foods are the ONLY ones I crave. Go enjoy some Doritos – but only if you’re no longer feeling like hurling, that could be bad
I really admire you for trying to change your diet. It takes some concentration and resilience to do it. Shame you got ill though! Hope you feel better soon!
Oh my! I totally did not expect that. You poor thing……
oh no!! I’m so sorry!
Definitely ironic though.
Oh my gosh that’s awful!!! I hope you’re feeling better!
Oh life is funny like that – ugh! Hope you feel better soon!
Barfing sucks! But NOO to the doritos my friend!!!
Oh that is ironic. Your stomache rebelled.
Small suggestion (which you can totally discard if you want): try making changes you enjoy, before committing to food you really aren’t a fan of. If you like veggies, up those while dropping some processed stuff. Either way, good luck and hopefully there are no more “incidents.”
NOOOOOO. no no! I don’t like hearing this. BUTT..how do you like the almond milk? I’m a total convert.
