hey
Its been a while, so i thought id better update!
I have been trying to eat more simply recently because my body just wants simple fresh foods, but it is proving harder than i thought!
Tomorrow i am going to have celery in the morning for breakfast, stir fry (raw of course!) for lunch with sliced cucumber, and then i have no idea...lol. Id love to...no, in fact i am setting myself a challenge. Tomorrow, i am going to eat NO fruit! veg, salad and water here i come!!
Im really looking forward to it. In fact, id love to do a week with no fruit. I'll see how tomorrow goes and then i'll perhaps do it next week!
Ive been eating more fat the last week, which i want to stop doing. I think its because i have been cold quite alot. I want to continue to loose weight and i dont want fat to be slowing it down. its been making me feel bloated aswell because for some reason i have been binging on it..which of course is NEVER good, even if its raw food.
I was really pleased today because i got a 1/2 bag of dates for £1.44! :O AMAZING! Ive eaten them all though,and im very stuffed and bloated because ive drank loads of water too!
Im a little sad and guilty. Were getting rid of our 2 Bengal cats which my bf has had for 6 years. They will be VERY sadly missed, but its for the best.
Ive also been looking for a new job...well a career. In recruitment or promotions. I want to earn good money!!!!!
well bye for now!

Changes in my body-wants
hello!
For starters, im no longer putting day...100% raw. I can never remember what day it is, and im not going to knowingly be anything but 100% raw, so there is no point in putting it!
I have noticed that when i have tried to eat food that includes alot of combinations i just dont want them anymore. Im craving simple foods and smaller amounts, which is great because i am getting more aware of my body.
Although i am still wanting my goey chocolate pudding!
From next week i am cutting back my fruit intake :(
im trying to even out my fruit and greens intake, i know that im eating too much fruit, and that i have too much energy and i dont need that much. I dont want to eat that much sugar.
we will see how that goes then!

day 29: 100% raw- nearly a month raw- review
hey
I cant believe its been this long! Not only has it been ages since i blogged, but Ive done nearly 1 whole month raw!
I feel great and this is defiantly something that i am keeping to. You have probably gathered that from my other posts, but i though id review everything after a month, and well its nearly a month so i thought 'what the hell, 2 days arnt going to make a difference!'
Ok, so here goes.
Pro's
Clear glowing skin
weight loss
never going hungry
never dieting
amazing energy
happiness
connected to the earth
healthier
making positive choices about what i eat and put in my body
being more aware
amazing blood sugar control
learning things all the time
trying new foods ( pomegranate, parmission, papaya, custard apples, hazel, walnuts and Brazil nuts, goji berries, raw cacao, medjool dates, kale, flaxseed, beetroot, sprouts etc)
Learning the amazing things your body can do
learning to love yourself for who you are
your taste changing
the feeling of serenity
feeling different from those around you, because you have felt the power of raw food, and you can see ill health of others
Con's
The boyfriend moaning about not being able to go out and eat (although everywhere does salad!)
The cost of fresh food (although the markets provide amazing, cheap food)
Eating too much still
So as you can see, the pro's pretty much outweigh the con's!
Many people ask, or say, 'but your missing out on this' and i say 'it depends what you see as missing out!'
If a smoker offers me a cigarette and i decline, and that person says 'your missing out' i think most people will agree with me, that actually, I'm really NOT missing out!
Or if an omnivore said to me, ' your really missing out on this McDonald's burger'......
why? because I'm not eating some processed, sterilized, awful identical remains of a tortured, ripped apart, diseased, chemical laden animal?
Ha, i hardly call that missing out! In fact, id call that utter torture! why would i want to feed myself that? its not food! my body cant process and get life giving vitamins, minerals and compounds from that!! Its just like drinking and smoking. Its poison. Why would i purposely try and poison my body? its insane.
So its the same with cooked foods. it offers little to no nutrients and life giving force for my cells and body, so why am i going to eat it? So if my body cant use it, its just poison really. Fat, stodge, toxins, free radicals, poisons.
I want to eat life giving, nutrient packed, vitamin and mineral rich, live, raw, healing, cleansing, body and life friendly foods!
Its so weird how my taste has changed too. Before, i hated nuts, not i love eating them, especially brazil nuts. I also cant eat that much fat, it makes me feel yucky.
Talking ofyuvky, i have not stopped eating tonight and i havnt even been hungry. Ive been eating just to fill time. I do it, its one thing i am very guilty of doing and i feel sick right now because i have eaten too much and combined badly!
I bought 2 'raw bars' the other day and it was only when i ate them that i realised they were only 75% raw. This really pissed me off. IF ITS NOT RAW, WHY SAY IT IS!!!??? 75% isn't raw, its high raw, not raw. Raw is 100%....it wasn't 100%, so it isn't raw, FUCKING TWATS.
Don't advertise something to be raw when it isn't raw. This really gets to me, trying to make something out to be what it isn't.
Well Ive learned my lesson. No more junk food. just fantastic fresh and occasionally dried foods.
Ugh i feel sick............ NOT SO MUCH EATING CHERRY!
