Beet Overdose - day 3
Today is day 3 and I'm feeling so much better. It turns out it wasn't a bug as my husband suspected and it wasn't the alcohol as I suspected (although I have no doubt it didn't help) - I had a beet overdose! As you all know the effects of beets when you go to the washroom as far as colour, well on day 1, the effects were very clear. A few days before, I had eaten a 5 lb. bag of beets (in 2 days). It took several days for it to react. Last night I googled the effects of having too many beets, well it turns out you can have severe cramping, diarrhea, vomiting and it can be toxic for your liver. I'm glad to know this information but still can't forget my 6 day binge. It's over and I'm hoping knowing it was the beets doesn't give me any ideas. I'm hoping I can stay strong. The beet story doesn't change the fact that I'm an alcoholic.
