Junk food is no longer my friend

About 3 weeks ago, as a part of my weight loss, health and fitness plan, I started replacing almost all my meals with green smoothies comprised of a green meal replacement product as well as raw fruit and vegetables. Snacks have been comprised mostly of yogurt and fruit. This has allowed me (along with yoga and boxing) to lose more than 10 pounds in that 3 week period (mostly without effort I think).

However, beginning with my Friday evening dinner and ending with my Sunday dinner, I eat mostly junk type foods since I was out and pretty much abandoned my green diet for the weekend.

Right now as I lay in bed unable to sleep because of extreme and unusual stomach pains not only do I regret eating junk foods for meals for two days but I can say that junk food is no longer my friend.

I'm not sure exactly what is happening but it feels like my stomach is trying to remove itself from my body in an un-gentle way. At its worse about 15-30 minutes ago, I literally couldn't lay down, couldn't sit down, couldn't stand straight or breathe properly. I was also unsuccessful in my attempt to expel the junk I've consumed over the past 48 hours. The pain and discomfort only started to get better after I forced myself to sit/balance on the side of my bed and do some deep yoga breathing.

I don't know if I'm feeling this way because my stomach is working overtime trying to process more food than it had to the past couple weeks or if my body is having a bad reaction to what I ate. Whatever the reason, I never want to feel like this again. Needless to say, I'm returning to my green smoothie "diet" when I wake up again later this morning.

Now, I'm gonna continue my deep breathing and see if I can get back to sleep.
