Halloween Report - I Cheated - "Piece of Cake?"

I would never have thought I'd be 'chuking' this one... LOL little play on the WouldChuk moniker.

But I cheated... yep, will divulge it here, have to be honest about it. I ate a piece of cake for "Halloween." It was about a 2" x 2" slice handed to me in a social situation and it was made with white cake, white sweet-cream icing. My fave rave cake of all time, err used to be. So, I've doen so "good" for so long, I said, "Why the hay not?"

Let's "cut to the bite" so to speak: it was a really amazing event after almost one year on my unique dietary regimen.

In about ten minutes after finishing that piece, I felt very drowsy, almost like I'd been given a drug -- whoa! It was the sugar rush! As I drove home, It was only 7:00, but I was having the "nods" like it was really late. Within the hour, it felt like someone had "kicked me in the gut." As I type here, its been 24 hours and only now am I feeling like eating anything. And, its going to be a very "health" smoothie, plain vanilla, no extras. I need to just get something down and hope to feel better.

So, what to conclude? The cake could have been "bad?" Checking with others who had the same, nobody else had any unusual event. Nobody else had any evidence of an adverse reaction to anything served in any way. All were fine. So, my conclusion?

My year long commitment to very pure, almost completely "process" sugarless existence, and certainly no cake, well, I am surprised to conclude that what we eat can be "that" dramatic.

If I had met someone like me a few years ago, saying things like this, I would have actually thought, "nutzoid." And, now it is me. I would never have imagined this.

Right now, if you offered me a piece of cake, I would have the same reaction as if you offered me the flu. Right now, no way no how do I ever want another piece of "cake."

I must admit I am surprised at this.

Happy Halloween?

Will blog again sometime, Walt
