Ok, I wrote to smasty yesterday that I showed my sister her raw journal and her transformation. Well today, my sister came home from the store with: raw nuts, spinach, tomatoes, avocados, carob square treats, date treats, loads of ready made green juice, raw food!!
I really hope that we can help eachother out on this journey. She was my biggest adversary on my quest for health and I got her interested!
Now, all that I need to do is to get myself back on the highroad because I have been lagging since last weekend's slip at my mom's birthday bash. I had ice cream, cake and pizza. I was just coming off of a juice and smoothie seven day routine and my skin was absolutely glowing and I felt like I was a feather gliding on the Earth. Not keeping my discipline going over the weekend really messed me up. Reversed all of the wonderful accomplishments I had made, but this was just a testament to me as to how foods really do affect your every fiber. No doubt about it anymore in my mind.

That is great that you are getting your sister involved. I would be so happy if my sister were to follow me also. She and I are very close but she is a carnivore for life I'm afraid. At least until she seems me and the transformations that I have made in January. Maybe there is still hope. I have however almost converted two people thus far. both are about 75% raw now.
Hang in there. I bet you felt awful coming off a fast on those foods. Well live and learn. Have a great week.

I felt more than awful.......it's really not worth it. And only now can I really make the difference as to how it affects the body. So this decision to go 100% raw starting tomorrow (see my post "100% raw") was because I know the difference now and I don't want to feel like that ANYMORE! I will be free again! I just have to keep thinking about my future and if I want to be healthy and active until a ripe old age or if I want to compromise my health for some sugar laden chocolate cake. All of life is one big choice, my choices determine who I am and who I will become. Plus, how can I be a shining example of Raw if I don't try it 100%?
