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…

Back since Nov 27th – Raw Again
Hey, sorry for the lapse. I’m not going to be tracking the days anymore…too much work. I needed some time to really immerse myself in the real reasons why I’m making this change. I needed to really understand what I was eating. I needed to revisit how so much of my favorite food really isn’t…
Day 27: My 4th Day 100% Raw
Today will be my 4th 100% raw day in a row this week. I feel like a mental fog has lifted. The internal fight with my cravings has lessened. I just can’t believe how much of a fight Tuesday and Wed were. I was really crazy, but I made it. Had a big salad from…
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 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

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 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…
