this little piggy had none

so, we have successfully reintroduced each food group back into our diets, one at a time pretty much. veggies, yup. fruit, good to go. whole wheats and complex carbs and healthy oils and fish and dairy and soy and lean meats like turkey and chicken. all ok. i have been juicing most of the day b/c i didn't want to lose those benefits and i've been pretty much eating (chewing) one meal a day, usually dinner with john. john's been eating more chewing food than me throughout the day but he is still juicing and doing really well.

and then last night we had red meat.

uuuuuggggghhhhhh.

it was a lovely japanese recipe with a small portion of steak with mirin (sweetened saki) and ginger and carrots and it looked like a work of art on the plate next to the mashed cauliflower that john made to mimic mashed potatoes, and it tasted soooo yummy.
...until about 30 minutes later.

i swear i felt like i had been poisoned. such an upset tummy. bleck. bleck. bleck. it was the meat. i could just 'tell'.

here is my issue, i looooove steak. love it love it love it.

john has declaired 'i think i'm am turning mostly vegetarian'. he says this with gleeful abandon as though it is no biggie at all. that is so good for him. i, however, do not know where to put this new info, or my body's reaction to red meat, in my head.

do not email me and tell me the obvious. i am temporarily in denial. please allow me to work through this in my own time. in the meanwhile, i am silently mourning my usual booth at Outback Steakhouse.
