I think I was 100% today

[rawererin]

And I did it unconsciously, I've been slowly transitioning, then just went full speed today. I haven't been saying "I'm doing raw" like I usually do because I don't want to set any expectations for myself, that way I can't let myself down, I'm just going to do the best I can, and I fell different about it this time- that feeling of calm and peace that everyone is talking about- I feel that.
My fiancee made a pizza tonight and I said "mmm that smells so good" but that was that, I was able to appreciate the smell and appreciate what I was doing for my body without gorging on SAD food.
I found this great blog, Maw in the Raw, she has wonderful pictures of raw salads and cookies, and cranberry sauce that I can't wait to try- I was salivating over raw dishes, not Taco Bell, or Burger King. I don't know I feel different this time.
I'm going to keep posting, I think getting these feelings out is kinda like journaling, so bear with me if I post long ridiculous threads every day, I'd really appreciate the support though.
Thanks for listening.

That's super.
I think if raw can come naturally then it's all the better.
Instead of saying "no, I can't have that", it's great that you can think, "smells good, but I know it won't make me feel as good as I feel now".

Thanks for the link, just checking it out now.

I never say "I can't have that".
because I can have anything I want.
rather I "choose not to have it".
makes a big difference for yourself and how you come across to other people.
if friends/family are having pizza and I say "I can't have that", then I come across as deprived and pitiful.
but if I say nothing and if it comes up I just say "I choose not to have it", then I feel strong and come across as strong.
and I know that I'm not the one who's deprived here.
they are all depriving themselves of their health.
but I don't say a peep!!!!!
I just know that what I am doing is just the best!!!!
