"I did it. I ate half of an avocado. And it was glorious and magical and everything I ever dreamed solid food would be. So there.   My lifeline today Okay, it&amp;#039;s not really that bad, considering avocado is on the list of acceptable &amp;quot;cheat&amp;quot; foods from Blueprint. But, I was hitting a serious wall this afternoon. I noticed I was a bit out of it and having trouble concentrating. So off to Food Emporium I went to procure some produce.    Love, true love Other than that FEAST of an avocado, I&amp;#039;ve consumed only green juices today. Eating any food over and over again, no matter what it is, gets a bit repetitive. For instance, I really like cupcakes. But do I want to eat a cupcake four times each day? As nice as this may sound, I&amp;#039;m guessing it would get a bit old.  The biggest issue for me right now is dealing with the loss of solid food in general and the rituals that come along with it. Each day, I&amp;#039;m used to heading out and picking up lunch at the same time from different restaurants in the area. But now, I just walk down the hallway to the fridge, grab a juice and go back to my desk. Very anti-climatic to say the least. What&amp;#039;s more, food and the act of eating a meal are so ingrained in our social culture and you don&amp;#039;t realize that until you&amp;#039;re not partaking in it. I&amp;#039;m meeting a friend tonight to catch up on life, but we usually do that over dinner. So, alternative options have to be thought up\u2026or else I sit and drink juice while she eats. Which is just weird. I miss the pure act of biting and chewing things too, which is why I&amp;#039;ve been chomping on sugarless gum, and unfortunately, biting my nails more often than I usually do.  That&amp;#039;s my status now\u2026Feeling better post-avocado but hitting the mourning stage that comes along with consuming no solid food. Excited for the spicy lemonade later! \u2013 Abby Cuffey, Assistant Health Editor Follow me! Twitter.com/womansdaytweets "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
