A funny thing happened...

So I'm on day 2, prob will try not to keep too much track after a few weeks of what day I'm on otherwise it'll get ridiculous like day 2473 and counting...

Ah well, so yesterday seemed to go well.

I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen, but when I made my nana smoothie after a little bit the smoothie turned kinda brownish. I assumed it was just oxidation, am I correct?

I think I'll have to make more, smaller smoothies so it doesn't quite get to that point while I'm still drinking cuz I'll be honest, it was really off-putting.

The FUNNY thing this morning was when I got up the only thing I really wanted to eat was...oranges. and lots of them. Problem is. I bought 140 nanas yesterday, oranges: 0. wah wah.

I was only able to get down like 12 nanas yesterday and I'm sort of feelin the hunger today, and by sort of I mean really. I'm on nana 3 right now, but I'm still eating breakfast (yes, I know it's 11:30, I don't care).

On the lighter side, my room smells like bananas since I'm keeping all my nanas in here.

We're having some issues with fruit flies in the kitchen right now and I'd really just rather not have to deal with that. However, since I also haven't told my roomies I'm eating this way it feels weird. Very secretive and I don't know how long I can really hide the bajillion banana peels I'll have.

I'd use the trash in my room, but it isn't covered and then it feels weird to bring like 6 banana peels out at a time and just throw them in the trash...awkward.

Idk, this could get weird. Well, it already is weird and I don't know what to do this weekend.

On Sunday (the 13th) we're having this Christmas dinner thing and we did one for Thanksgiving, but I was just vegan then so it was okay, but we all make dishes and serve them up for everyone and it's this big thing and I don't know how to tell them that I won't be eating it.

Plus, I don't even know if I really want to make a dish for it because that means I actually have to spend money on food that I'm not going to consume and that I don't support the consumption of, but I also don't want to be left out of the festivities. I guess I'm just hitting that place where social exclusion due to the way I eat is going to become a HUGE problem.

If anyone has any advice on what to do, I would REALLY REALLY appreciate it.

I can sooo under stand you on the social side!!!!!
How about you make a yummy fruit salad (TIP: Add FRESH chopped MINT to the chopped fruit.. it makes it AMAZING!!!) so that you can eat it and share it with everyone - plus they look great!
Or have a look at the Low Fat Raw Vegan Recipe book on this site! (its free,too!)
It's great and has plenty of ideas!!
Best of luck!!!!

Comment by hannah on December 7, 2009 at 3:28am: eat up the bananas and then get oranges! i know the reason banana island is encouraged is because it's "easier" to get enough calories from then since the calorie:volume is higher, but if you aren't craving bananas, get the thing you are craving. All I've wanted lately is oranges, too! I ate about 20 yesterday (plus bananas and dates, but lots of oranges!).

yeah, the bananas are just oxidizing, maybe make green banana smoothies so you can't tell?

In terms of the party, make a 811 appropriate dish! Maybe just a big salad with some 811 dressing. One thing I have really enjoyed is a slaw. Shred up cabbage and then make a dressing of tomato, basil, lemon, celery, and dates and pour it over the slaw. Put that in the fridge and the cabbage will get soft overnight! It's really yummy.
