Had a not-so-raw Saturday...

[MusicalRawLady]

I had to go to a wedding and packed some almonds, cashews and raw goji berries. There was a cocktail hour before the reception, so I had some fruit...I ate the salad that came with my meal at the reception. The options were chicken or beef for my meal (gross) and I asked if I could just have a larger salad. They said they could do either pasta prima vera or steamed veggies.

I got the steamed vegges and ate half a zuchinni, little bit of pepper and a tomatoe. Usually, I would consider this a really healthy dish but I felt guilty eating it and it tasted AWFUL.

It was the first thing that I had on over a week that was cooked. Barf.

Musicalrawlady, are you saying you ate the meat with cooked veggies or you ate just the cooked veggies? I guess it doesn't matter...you should not beat yourself up! :( I know I hate when I go off of raw. My stomach usually hurts pretty badly for hours and that is enough punishment. For me I know that if I beat up on myself that could also cause me to give up and figure "well I messed up so I might as well just keep eating." Don't do that to yourself. Forgive yourself and keep going forward!;)

I did NOT eat the chicken or beef or cake or other goodies that were available.

The only thing I ate that was not raw were the steamed veggies. :)

MRL - don't beat yourself up over it. Just learn from it. Next time eat MORE (um, like a green smoothie) before you go somewhere and then politely say no thank you. Or even ask ahead of time for a salad. Just learn from it. You just ate empty, dead foods. At least it wasn't sugar and crap.

I think you did very VERY well! I would have probably had a big old piece of cake even if I skipped everything else! I'm a carboholic!:(

[MusicalRawLady]

It was really hard saying no to the cookies and cake! :)

But you did deary! You should be so proud of yourself. If I made it through a wedding reception and the worse thing I ate was cooked veggies I would take myself out today and buy myself a great non-food treat...or a delicious raw treat!:p
