I had a great Sunday being raw. After going out and looking at a condo I was interested in with 3 of my girlfriends we went out for lunch. They all had cooked food and I had steamed broccoli and read potatoes on the side. No…not raw…but I felt really good about it. I didn’t…

I fell pray to birthday cake
Yes, I admit it. I just ate the icing off a piece of birthday cake. I wanted it. I know better. I just had that long rant yesterday. But I ate it. AND…there is a Dessert reception at 3:00 (It’s 2:37 now). I have to keep myself in my seat, LOL. Oh, it must be…
It’s going well, but I really want to be 100% raw
My emotional eating continues to be the major revelation I’m having in the process. The reason I’ve eaten to much over the years has nothing to do with hunger or physical need. I eat because I’m lonely, fearful, sad, stressed, confused, bored, lonely, lol. I’m a really happy person, but I wear the mask like…
So much energy
I was so stressed about my taxes this year and usually that would lead to eating, eating, and more eating. But things are different and I’m so happy. Sunday I stayed in…rested from filing my taxes on Saturday. I ended up just napping, cleaning the house…it was great. I went to the store and just…
Real hunger and emotional eating
Friday and Saturday I really didn’t realize until now how much emotional eating I was doing. Now that I’ve been focused on eating when I’m actually hungry…I eat so much less and I want food so much less. I think that 50% of my eating was simply emotional and out of habit. There is no…
Fried Plantains and Potatoes
Today I had bananas, baby carrots, a cup of commercial apple sauce, my usual lunch salad with onions and spinach added, lots of water and…fried plantains and fried potatoes. It wasn’t so bad that I ate them…it’s vegan. However, the problem was that I wasn’t really hungry. Went to Silver Spring to with a friend…
Sugar Free on a Tuesday
I got all that shrimp and “friedness” out of me this morning and during the day. I felt good for most of the day. Started the morning with bananas and apple sauce. Midmorning I got really, really hungry…so I had a bag of baby carrots. The hunger was very intense, so I was surprised. It…
Things are going well…it’s a sweet Monday surprise
Sunday: I got the most sour terrible grapes from Harris Teeter. They were 99 cents per pound so I should have known. TERRIBLE. However, I was proud of myself because I’d walked all over Pentagon City Fashion Mall and hadn’t fell to any of the food court temptations. Oh, I looked, believe me. However, I…
Here come the headaches
The last time I went raw I had headaches randomly for about 2 weeks. I also experienced night sweating, “heat-like” body breakouts and general skin itchiness, and breakouts on my face. Today the headaches started. From what I’ve read, I understand that this comes from the detox. I’ve been drinking plenty of water and took…
I’ve decided to go Raw 4/4
Raw Foods. Eating raw food is more than a diet, it’s a choice to be healthier and have wellness through the foods you eat. Let your food be your medicine and let your medicine be your food. I truly believe this and that is why I’m going raw…again. The last time I went raw was…
