:D:Dwow, did i learn 2 things yesterday--enlightening and reaffirming & encouraging. i thought i should share:
first--i have been about 99% raw for nearly nine weeks. i have had four cheats, as i call them, of lightly steamed fresh veggies and rice. i "let" mylself eat this on purpose. i really miss that food. anyhow, the 1st 3 times i ordered it and they made it fresh. the veggies were pretty crunchy still. i felt fine afterwards, truthfully. maybe a TAD "full" but not icky. then my husb picked some up for me and they did NOT make it fresh and it looked wilted and it was soft/limp. i ate it anyhow. i felt like crap afterwards. bloated, restless, yucky. hmmmm..... either i am really losing my taste for anything cooked or it was TOO cooked and htat made a difference--?
then i read a post on here with a link to another raw site and i hopped around on that and my gut feelings were reaffirmed--first that montel williams (who i already knew had MS) went raw (& its helping him!!) and then this new (to me) rawsite that said (among a million other things!) that our health is in our own hands, that getting a disease is not a "luck of the draw" type thing but that WE are directly responsilbe for our health--good or bad. to hear that MS is my fault was wonderful!! b/c it means if i DID it, i can UN-do it!! how empowering!! & itsnot that raw food heals, but that eating it & not inapporpriate stuff LETS our bodies heal themselves!! like nature intended.
yay!!!! talk about motivation for slow progress.
so great!!! great info!! the site is www.rawfoodexplained.com thank you to whoever shared it yesterday!!! :}
