I think I have finally hit the point where I NEED to choose raw for good now. I had been raw for a good 6-9mo and felt fantastic. Traveling internationallly and living at other people's houses led me to make unwise choices. What surprised me was I felt fine that way, for a while. About 6 wks into eating lots of salads and fruits, but lots of other things too, I started feeling pretty yuck again. I didn't want to go back to raw! I complained, vented, whined, and tried everything else until now. Pathetic I know. My meds are max'ed out, I can't exercise cause I am exhausted and I just need to get back to feeling like "me" again.
I have never been a morning person, and after being diagnosed with Adrenal Fatigue I understand why. But, on high raw I felt happy in the morning, even wanted to get up early! This was a shocker to me. Well, I am back to my normal cranky self every morning and it's so unpleasant. Every afternoon when the baby is alseep, instead of going out, or getting things done ion the house, I sleep! I have a great hubby, and 4 beautiful children who need a more pleasant mommy in the morning, and productive throughout the day! For about 3 weeks now I have been kicking myself each morning when I wake up feeling miserable, knowing what I need to do and just not wanting to do it. That's just plain stupidity right there. What's even more stupid is I am studying Holistic Nutrition, which teaches how the body is a whole, and many things attribute to it's condition. And here I am trying to make just one thing work to feel better, when I know it takes a combination of things. Meds only just doesn't cut it.
So, I guess i needed to write that out to make it firm in my mind that it's got to be. Not that someone is making me, but it's what I want to do for me. I have heard many say that a mother needs to take care of herself in order to be the best she can be for her family. Well, that's what "the best for me looks like". RAW, PERIOD.
I am off to make a GS, see ya 'round
