3 weeks raw and now am finding it hard

[rhythmofthecosmos]

its prob just "one of the days" but I have been in constant battle with myself 2day. I want and still do to go and get egg fried rice from a fast food place.

My mind is playing tricks on me saying its ok your doing the liver cleanse on saturday so you can afford this, or the you have just ordered some celtic salts to do the sea salt flush its ok if you have this one meal then return to raw..

I know what am dealing with and I prob wont crack in the end I just needed to vent..

The battle shall be won

its just part of the process. for me, it was bean burritos. oh, how i wanted just one, last, one.

what worked for me was telling myself i could have it tomorrow if i still wanted it. that cooled out the "rebellious kid" in me. and the morning always brought a fresh perspective. i might still want it (a bit) but could tell myself again "if i still want it tomorrow..."

Yep, M-B has the ticket. I just have to tell myself NO! I'm just being a spoiled brat and want it all--well, the reality is I can't have it all. I either eat crap or I get healthy and fit. My choice. But since I've spent years making the wrong choice, it's now time to get tough with myself. I say, "it's not going anywhere--I can have it another time". And I'll keep saying that forever--I hope!

When I get tempted I remind myself that self discipline starts with remaining calm and I just focus on being calm and the temptation leaves. If your calm your in control. Temptation resisted is the true measure of discipline.

you will be happy to know that I didnt give in even though I still had cravings at 6am this mornings :eek: for egg fried rice still lol

I expect alot more but I think its very interesting to see how your mind tricks you and makes excuses something that will come in very handy is to notice this trick, not only for raw food but in everything we do...

Awesome rhythm!

My vice has been veggie burgers with avo and french fries. I've been hanging strong though and only gave into the temptation a few weeks ago. Now that I have my dehydrator it's helpful to make my own raw burgers which are even better!
