Digging out, in a good way

My last post seems to have created a concern and I can report that though I am not fully physically recovered, I am maintaining my fear of all things with fat.  I looked at an "Ande" chocolate mint at the Physical Therapist's office and put it down out of fear.

This was a good fear and it sustained me during my fast in 2006/2007 and I am going to try to maintain it.

The intrusion of the fats of New year or "FONY" for short, came on top of a 4 day gap in my prophylactic Prilosec so my gut was like the Starship Enterprise attacked with its shields down.  My continuing discomfort is expected as I recover, but I am very much in touch with the pains, the discomforts and I am quick conscious, thank you.

I gave the heel of a rye bread to the dog rather than eat it as I felt it contributed to my discomfort.  I am taking on gluten free as well as fat free for a while until I settle down.

As I write this, I am preparing for a three day trip to Monterey.  I am not sure how to eat except to have shakes and I may expand that to turkey and steamed veggies as I can.  No fish and chips, for sure, though they were great last year.

Having pain can be quite a good stimulant to mindfulness.  let's see how it goes.

Any others out there who have experienced such abuse at your own hands?
