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…

Day 10
Yesterday was day 10 on raw food with only 1 day where I wasn’t 90-100% raw!!! Yeah! This is going better than expected. Weight today: 180.5 I’ve basically been eating the same thing every day…morning green smoothie, large salad for lunch, either another large salar for lunch or just fruit (grapes or rasberries) and some…
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…
Supplements and Raw Nuts
Supplements I take: One-A-Day Energy Multi, Flax Seed oil, Milk Thistle, Zinc, Magnesium, and Alpha Lipoic Acid I know a lot of people say that supplements just make your urine more expensive. LOL. It’s something that I’ve always taken. Sue me. Maybe I’ll stop by the new year but I’ll likely always take a multi-vitamin…
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…
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…
