I can't believe this (or, actually, I can :D :D :D ).

Hate mall shopping. Hate the stores, the lights, and most of all, I hate the crappy selection of clothes in my size. But I couldn't avoid it (have a function tomorrow).

So my afternoon went kinda like this:

Off to the mall. Went to first store. Picked out a few things & tried them on.

ALL were too baggy. Thought to myself, "these #^$% clothes are made awful."

Off to another store. Carried in a bunch of clothes (getting tired, frustrated...) Again... baggy.

Hmm - wait a minute - maybe I should actually try a smaller size...

Brought in some smaller sizes. Wow - the clothes I finally bought were TWO SIZES smaller than before!!

Not only that, but in my exhaustion I mistakenly bought the wrong size tee shirt - 'large'. I'm tired, the mall isn't close to my home, and I need this for tomorrow.

Guess what - the shirt FITS ME!!

This is unbelievable. I've only been doing this for a few weeks, and I'm not even all raw yet.

Oh yeah - I just noticed that my (usually non-stoppable) appetite has decreased!! (I'm sitting here with a remaining 1/4 portabella mushroom w/avocado - can't finish it - that NEVER happens to me.)

I'm trying to listen to my body, and basically eat whatever I want. Craving papayas and those delicious baby coconuts, salads, only have a handful of nuts here & there, lots of bananas...I'm not restricting my fats, going with what I feel I should eat ...

... and I FEEL GREAT!!! :D :D :D

Gracias, everyone!

I also decided to stop beating myself about not being able to keep totally 100% raw. Don't want to get into my old 'dieting-success vs. failure' frame of mind.

And it's working. Each time I take a bit of the old 'SAD' food, I end up feeling so sick. Once more, raw food tastes so much better now, and I have SO much more energy, too.
