Hello everyone, i’ve been raw for 2 months this spring. I stopped cauz i was nervous and oh! How we know that cooked food, sugar, salty food makes you feel good for that precious moment you taste it! During the 2 months i ate raw, i felt so good, healthy, clear in my mind, happy, i lost 15 pounds, and i had more energy. Since more than 2 months, i eat a lot , things that it’s been a long while that I stopped, a lot of sugar,pasta, pastry etc…(you know) And i don’t feel good at all! I am in a hard period of my life but i wish i can restart a raw diet tomorrow. I know it will defenetly change my humour. My smile will be back again. But actually, it’s hard for me cauz i always have cravings, inneed to eat sugar, bread, etc… I understand why i act this way but to change it, it’s not easy. ONe thing i learned, is not to make a religion with the food. Also, i live in Québec in north America, so in winter time, it’s impossible to eat only raw. I want to eat mostly local food, so i don’t have the choice to eat a little bit of cooked food.(like potatoes,for example) I do grow sprouts etc. This is a good base for the body needs. But i was wondering, It’s in 2008, in montréal, I said to miself, i sould adjust myself to the groove. To the movement. So i can’t balance! I a’m extremist. I eat perfectly healthy or i eat bad things for me. I want to change this. Eat mostly raw, cauz i know it,s good for my body and mind. But eating some cooked food like potatoes, brown rice etc… But i wish i can have the force to eat 100% raw for the next month, and then restart eating normally, healthy and balancing my diet with a few cooked food i like ;)
I know i can do it.But sometimes, i lose hope and tell to myself i will never balance the way i eat and then, i become sad… :( I know i sould change a few things in my personnal life, and after, it will be easier.
Just to write this, makes me stronger for starting my raw diet tomorrow morning!
Thanks everyone for reading. Karine
