crazy journey, but i'm gonna make it

I have been going back and forth between raw and not raw for a couple of months now. It's been a difficult journey, but a journey where I've learned a lot. I keep pluggin on because I know Raw is something I AM GOING TO CONQUER. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that raw is so healthy and my body needs me to start taking care of it/me. I read Victoria's book 12 Steps to Raw and I just got an Ebook about losing weight on raw on www.rawreform.com. It is really good and a great starting point for me. I really suffer from cooked food addiction and overeating. I know this is something I want. I'm not giving in to the stupid cooked food anymore!!! I have a plan of action. My health and well-being is so important to me. I am done with the cycle of being raw and then not. Cause each time I eat the cooked food, I think, "Oh yeah, this is why I want to stop eating like this." I feel awful when I overeat on it. In the ebook I just got today, it talks about how people who are addicted to overeating have to conquer that and confront their issues even on a raw food diet. Sooooo true and that is what I haven't been doing up until now. So things are going to change. I feel so passionately about going raw. I have from the first time I started looking into it. I'm taking control as of this second. Mind over matter.

I am so thankful for a place like this where we can talk freely about raw and our journey. It's time for me to start living life to its fullest. I'm not saying I'm going to be perfect. But I'm going to start doing things differently. I need to have a plan of action each day. Failing to plan is planning to fail. I feel like I'm going into rehab. Haha. Do they have a rehad program for overeaters? I think they should.

Rock on people.

You sound as set on it as I feel! When I fist heard about it, it just struck a cord inside of me, it was right. Within a day I decided that raw is my path. I am first starting on wednesday though but both my mate and I are looking very much forward to it!

I know how you feel though, the cravings, never feeling completely satisfied, either hungry or way to full.. Can't wait to go raw!

Wishing you the best on your journey! You sound so determined about this, just keep it on!

Purtyflowrr -- the daily action plan is in Alissa's book! That's what's so great about it. And ... I know you may have been kidding, but the best rehab program for overeaters I know is OA -- in San Diego, they even have a raw food OA meeting. How cool is that!

What an exciting path you've chosen to walk -- I'm glad you're joining us on it.
