My head hurts
All my recovering sugar addicts out there know what I’m going through. My head hurts. Not with a typical, throb. I wouldn’t call it a headache. It feels more like pressure. It happened the last time I was 90% raw for a few days and it will pass. Sugar is not my master. Sugar is…
Posting Calories on Menus is a Requirement in the Health Care Bill
Within the Health Care Bill that President Obama signed yesterday there is a requirement about calorie counts. Restaurants will have to include all calorie counts for food sold on their menus. This will include fast food restaurants and dine in restaurants. I am so happy about this. It could really change the way people choose…
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…

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…
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…
