Food counts

I woke up feeling terrible this morning.

My joints ached. My fingers and toes were puffy.  My stomach was upset.

My first thought was flu, but it wasn't that kind of feeling bad.

Lately I have felt better than I have in years. 

Then I realized that last night, after over two weeks of healthy eating, I ate a fast food sandwich on a white Kaiser roll, had a few bites of my daughter's chili cheese fries and topped it off with a brownie concrete.

Inflammation and system upset seem like a reasonable response to that.  I began feeling more normal late this afternoon, which might be expected as those poisons pass through my system.

Talk about validation!
