Willpower!!!

I had to share this with y'all, because chances are you can really relate.

I'm having a BAD day today ... started off first thing, and hasn't gotten any better. I've been up since 2am ... couldn't get back to sleep. That doesn't help the mood any.

I've just started 100% raw today (I was about 90% yesterday). Well, a co-worker just offered a brownie to me. Not a raw one (is there such a thing?!), but a real one. The kind that, when you're having a really horrible day, would be sooooo good to help cheer you up. That type of a brownie.

And I said NO!!!!!!! YAY!!!!! I don't know how I did it, but I did it!!!
(Actually, I think I've just gotten too disgusted with the day to even eat anything!) :)

I'm just so glad the willpower showed up somehow for me, when I REALLY needed it!!!

Hooray for saying no to a sad brownie. There are recipes here for raw brownies. Do a search for them! Bring them to work.

YESSSSS! raw fudge too! and raw cookies!!!! THOSE you can bring and proudly share. And IF you have Alissa's book, make her Black Forest Cake and share THAT!

Congrats on holding out! You did (are doing) good! :D

Good for you for having will power. I am currently in the pits of despair about eating raw. I make it to the end of the day, and then kaboom, I fall apart, and eat SAD.

My problem is that I want an easy fix, and I don't want to spend 6 hours waiting to dehydrate or sprout something.

I could just slap myself for being so lazy.

So I have to commend you for staying raw... it's not the brownies that tempt me, its the chips!

CONGRATS on saying "No" to the brownie!! I had some tests this weekend myself and can proudly say I passed them too :)

Good for you, Carolyn.

It's truly one day at a time.

Thanks everyone! :)

Sadly, tho', I have to admit that I caved last night. :o Pretty embarrassing after I stayed strong in the face of a SAD brownie!!!

BUT I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I'm just picking myself back up, dusting off, and TODAY will be a 100% raw day! And tomorrow ... and the next ...

:)
