I forgot how

[Live Free]

I dont remember how I ate most of my meals when I was eating SAD foods. I think I mostly ate whatever my husband fixed for us.

However, I dont know exactly what my daughter ate before we transistioned to a mostly raw diet. My daughter probably had been eating solid foods for about 6 months or so before I changed her diet.

Then only thing I have to compare to is what my neighbors eat. My babys friend eats mac and cheese and snack foods that come in packages.

I cant imagine what my daughter would be eating now, if I hadnt found this raw life. I cant recall how to eat SAD foods. Even though we arent all raw all the time, I am trying to picture what our daily food intake would be if we were still eating meat...

I have run into people in the past who said that they tried eating raw before but they went back to eating meat. Organic meat, but anyways. I know it is hard to break that habit. But I thought raw is so wonderful that people wouldnt want to go back.

Had to sit down and think about this one for a moment.

I am in my 43 day high/100% raw and LOVING every minute of it.

I just plain shudder and feel such regret for what I ate before Raw.

It is just not enough for me to shrug it off and say oh well, I'm really upset and THAT is a really good thing because it is exactly that regret that keeps and will keep me eating the right way.

When I read what David Zane Mason said about a deep motivation, I just had to put it as my bi-line in my signature (giving him credit of course ).

That is what I posses at this point in my life. A DEEP MOTIVATION
That helps me ride through any and all of the temptations that I might have to go bck into the SAD world of eating and living. NO NO NO!! I won't go!

I mean what intellegent, rational individual would give up feeling Amazing and terrific and HEALTHY to go back to feeling like the bottom of a dirty garbage can? Not me, no way, no how!

Man I guess I needed to get that off my chest hehe

ONLY BETTER cuz it's RAW with nothing in it but lemons, oranges and WATER! :cool:

OH BTW? Thanks David Z Mason for the inspirational words :)

Haha....I was thinking of something similiar. I was 100% raw for 4 1/2 months 3 years ago and then I dropped back down to mid-high raw and started feeling bad again. I was just imagining what I would have looked like, how I would have felt, if I had stayed 100% would I have had to have those 3 surgeries? But then I thought we can't do anything about yesterday, we can only worry about today and no use worry about tommorow because tommorow will have its own issues. I am just happy I am raw today.
