Aimee threw her back out the other day. She's been on the couch ever since. And, of course I'm always ready to quit for the day no matter how early it is, so yesterday was a "chill day."
We watched a documentary on obesity called "Fat, sick, and Nearly Dead." The documentary followed this one dude around who was obese and decided to only drink fruit and veggie juice everyday for 60 days. While watching the flick, it hit me; I don't taste but I still eat like shit, for example extra extra ranch dressing on my salads, a bag full of Doritos with lunch, and so on.
Halfway through the doc, Aimee and I thought we'd give it a try, not fasting but juicing twice a day. We went on Craigslist and found a high-powered Breville juicer for $75. After, we went to Henry's and bought bunches of Kale, some apples, beets, lemon, and spinach.
The juicing started today. For breakfast we had the kale, celery, apples, and lemon. I'm not sure why I was surprised because I can't taste anything but it was better than I had thought it would be.
So, now when people ask if my eating habits have changed since losing my sense of taste I can tell them that it has.

Man you just taught me a lot more about life in these past 30 minutes i spent reading your blog and reading about your road to recovery and how shit always finds you and messes with you I mean I did believe its the little things that matter, but at the same time its so hard to remember that when bad things happen man. i don't know if you're religious or not but i'll be praying for you and I hope that you find a way to adjust to this.
