day 7: 100% raw- a shift has happened

Hello all!

For the 1st time in this so far very short raw journey i feel like a major shift has happened in my thinking, eating and way of being. I can now look at the future and see myself 100% raw, rather than thinking, 'I'll be raw for as long as i can but i don't know how long that will be.'
Something has changed and i see cooked as a different world almost. I can see dis-ease and toxins in people, i see fat people and can only imagine what torture they are putting their bodies through, and it makes me sad, and even more determined and happy to be doing this.

I love eating raw and i don't want to eat cooked again. Ive finally realized that I'm actually not missing out on anything by eating 100% raw, and i just see cooked as something completely different, not even something that is edible to me, i can cook a meal for my bf and not feel a thing towards it. I can go into a supermarket and see all these processed foods i used to eat and be so excited to get home because i have in the fridge, a fruit i have never had before.
A fantastic realization that:
I don't miss cooked food
I don't crave cooked food
I don't need cooked food
I don't like cooked food
and most importantly of all..
I don't WANT cooked food!

it feels so good, so liberating. I feel liberated, excited, amazed, in owe, proud, beautiful, happy, grateful and extremely strongly about this lifestyle.

THANK YOU RAW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 2 100% raw: fruit cravings

Today has been good, i haven't had any cooked cravings, but there is another problem that has come up again that was a problem last time.

Fruit. I'm fine in the morning and afternoon, but in the evenings all i want to eat is fruit, which is a problem. it keeps making my Candida flare up, last time it made me put on weight and upset my digestion quite badly- i had the runs ( although my cellulite disappeared!)

I'm sure when i become more confident in myself being raw and staying raw, i can sort this problem out, i just don't want it to become a problem in the 1st place, and i certainly don't want to be battling with candida the whole time. It will wreak havoc with

Anyway im just going to have to push through it, at the moment, anything to keep me raw!

Day 1 raw: NO energy and mad cravings.

Hello,

Today has been hard and very confusing for me. Ive been hungry all day, even though i ate loads:
Breakfast: 1 apple chopped up with a handful of soaked almonds, a few goji berries and flaxseed
snack: couple of handfuls of mixed seeds
Lunch: swede, parsnip and carrot sticks with avocado dip
snack: banana

Ive been feeling weak all day and its been driving me nuts. Since ive been back home ive been craving pasta, chocolate, everything bad and cooked! So ive eaten a banana, orange, seeds and a load of raisins (really bad combos there!). The cravings have gone and i know raisins arnt always 100% raw, as they contain sulphur dioxide, but at the moment, its just something to help keep me on the straight and narrow. I nearly did slip up (yes, on my 1st day) but i stayed and im glad!

Im just waiting for my chocolate banana ice cream to defrost a bit and tuck into that awell. Ive been looking forward to eating it since i made it on saturday lol.

anyway, im fine now for the rest of the evening, i have enough goodies to keep me raw!

peace x
