I’m already seeing the signs of raw food detox and although it’s not always comfortable running do the bathroom during the workday, there are some great results I can already see. Mainly… The circumference of my midsection is smaller. I can tell because I’m wearing a form-fitting top today and I can really see a…

Day 16 – Back on Track
After about 3-4 days where my commitment was lacking, I was back on track yesterday. I did have a few pieces of Tootsie roll easter candy. Can’t lie about that. However, my mind set was better. I woke up at 201.5 yesterday. Damn. Didn’t get me down though. I know that I ate things that…
Days 12-15 – Down in the Valley
It’s day 15 and I’m coming out of a serious valley experience day 12-14. Let’s just say I was only about 50% raw on those days. I was tested and I made it. I ate cooked food on Friday and Saturday. I felt really bad about it. I realized that I was very sad about…
Inspired by Queen Afua
Queen Afua is giving me the inspiration I need right now, before I get lunch. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxdHN_GtC2c] Oh my goodness. I really want to be this wise and be able to inspire people too. There are so many people like me who have suffered from the “Corporate Kitchen” and food addiction and have looked for answers…
Repetition is not a bad thing
I’ve been 80-100% Raw Vegan for the last month…give or take a weekend. The thing that most surprises me is that eating the same things all most every day is not that bad. A lil boring at times, but not a bad thing. Most days I eat some combination of the following: Smoothie: Some combo…
Day 24 and 25: back on track
Day 23 ended with no meat, no sugar…just a big salad with sunflower seeds, grapes, and some olives later that night. Maybe my body wanted some fat. I had a lil headache but it passes. I’m accustomed to having chocolate when I’m on my monthly (TMI…it’s been different. I can really tell I’ve been eating…
Day 4: Feeling good, feeling dry
I need some lotion. I am so dry. My hands and my legs have shown signs of dryness. That would be ASH. You know what I’m talking about sistas and brothers. Amen. I love Nubian Heritage products and I’m about to slather on some of their chocolate smelling cocoa butter lotion after this post. LOL…
April 22 So far so good
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…
