Hi my dear raw family,
Well, most of you have kept up with my progress, thanks for all the encouragement.
And you may know that a while back I ate some cooked food, not alot, just some and it was enough to cause me massive pain in my body, and a major healing crisis, YIKES!!!
Also, just so everyone knows, eating that little bit of cooked, opened the door to more cooked, just a bite, just a taste, just a ........ (fill in the blank)
It has been difficult, very difficult to go back to 100% raw, and why is that?
Because there was a door opened in the first place.
To get back to raw, I had to close that door and bolt it, I had to lock it, I had to prop large pieces of cast iron up against it. LOL
Now, this is just me, I know alot of people can keep that door open and walk in and out of it and be fine, I'm not one of them.
I MUST have that door closed, locked and bolted shut at ALL times.
because of CRAVINGS!!!!
yes, you heard me cravings, for unbelievable stuff. mostly wheat-- my addictive substance of choice, LOL
but definitely cravings, I've talked myself into and out of about every cooked wheat dish there is, and those cravings are still there, and how long has it been?
Weeks, since that cooked food, YIKES!!!
so, please to protect yourself from cravings, and eating cooked, don't even entertain the thought-- That is Alissa's quote--, just don't even go there.
There is nothing cooked that tastes as good as eating raw feels.
There is nothing cooked that can give you that raw rush of being in control of your addiction. Notice I didn't say "cured" your addiction, I said being in control of your addiction, BIG DIFFERENCE.
now each day I wake up, I say to myself today I am eating raw foods, and loving them, I am so blessed to have so many choices in my life,
and this is good, I affirm each morning how my day will go, and it does, but trust me when I say this, it was far easier to eat raw, when I didn't have any cooked for months.
I know that my cravins stop after about 2 months 100% raw, so I am willing to wait it out, yet again.
And all I had was a baked potatoe, then some veggie burgers, that was it, I didn't even pig out on pizza or cake or anything that I used to adore.
So, when the cooked food starts calling to you from the pantry, just let it call, and know that those cravings will stop, it may take two months of 100% raw food eating, but they will stop.
it has been weeks since I ate that baked potato and veggie patty, weeks, but ----- I am still having detox symptoms and cravings,
Now attribute this to the fact that I was 100% raw for several months, so I am going through a way worse detox than before, because I was so pure.
Live and learn, please learn from my mistakes, and processes.
Please know that you can get rid of cravings by going 100% raw, and staying there.
so, if you are having cravings, eat 100% raw, and you will feel so much better so soon. I guarantee it.
