Well, I’ve been maintaining 80-100% raw food for the last week and a half. It’s been hard. I moved and that was stressful so I started eating chocolate again. Blame it on Halloween. Other than that and some bouts with salmon I’ve been at least 80% most days. I’ve had to really think about why…

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…
Days 13-17: “It was all a dream…”
Sweets and comfort food were always a treat for me. Not being able to have them was a punishment. That’s how I felt on Day 13 (last Friday). I felt like I was in punishment and all I wanted to soothe my pain was some ice cream. I almost didn’t get any. I went out…
Day 12: Yesterday I fell pray to some ice cream
Yesterday, Day 11, I tangled with my main foe…ice cream. I lost. I ate a bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. I’m not going to beat myself up. There are going to be times when I have dessert, but I don’t want it to be like it used to be 3-5 days a…
Day 9: Recovering from sugar
Day 9/Monday I think I was recovering from the sugar in the drinks I had Sunday night yesterday. The inflammation in my hip acted up a bit more. I’ve been just walking in the city for exercise and yesterday I part of walk was uphill. I took an Ibuprofen and all was well. Weight: 180.5…

I took a friend of mine to a really…
Day 7: Life doesn’t revolve around food
Today was the first day that I really realized how much my life was controlled by food. I was constantly thinking about what I was going to eat…rationalizing what was “good” or “bad”. I was worried about eating bad things. I wasn’t consumed with eating…I just thought about it way too much because it’s connected…
Day 6 on raw food
Day 6 went very well I ate: My morning green smootie (see other days) with Kale added 1/2 cup of raw walnuts Large Lunch salad (see other days) with red onions this time Large apple cup of walnuts, 1/2 cup of banana chips, and a bowl of grapes for dinner Weight: 182 I think the…
Day 5…beginning Day 6: Have back up? Check!
Yesterday was a good day. The only problem was that I forgot my after lunch snack (fruit) and was really hungry from around 3 till I got a chance to grab a banana at Au Bon Pain. That was a little rough. I have to remember to carry some back up food. I had some…
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…
