frustrated

I was doing well for a few days 90- 100% Raw and then sometime after thanksgiving I started eating more and more cooked foods. The past 2 days I haven't even consumed a single serving of Raw food. I am feeling horrible! I used to think it was normal to feel this way, sick is what my usual symptom was/ is when on a regular SAD diet. I can't believe how good I was feeling after eating Raw.

This morning I woke up early and went to the health food store and bought tons of organic fruits and veggies. I now know that Raw is the way I want to be and great is how I would like to feel always.

Anybody else have this same experience?

h00pychic,
The majoritiy of us on the board have been there too! ;)
It's happened to the best of us.
Just remember being raw isn't about perfection, but consistancy.
You have already felt a difference when you were raw, and that's
something you'll always go back to when you slip.
Just keep at it!

thank you Punky. I am now reading all the messages that I have skipped lately and i am feeling horribly sick. I can't believe I have let myself get this sick! I also noticed that I have been so tired lately. I can barely stay awake, I have no energy whatsoever.

Thanks again

Hi h00pychic,

I think just about all of us have been there. Right now all I have to do is eat one serving of cooked/processed and I suffer. Sometimes immediately with a headache, or the next morning with joint/muscle pain along with the headache. I'm finding as time goes on I do this a little less. Sometimes the mild suffering is worth the "taste" of the cooked junk food, but I'm finding it less and less appealing. I know one day I won't desire it at all.

I feel the same way it seems like I have a mild case of something when I eat cooked food it just seem to set in my tummy for hours. I find that I want to eat it less and less

I say be thankful you are recognising this after two days - I have been this way for 9 days after being raw for a while and having trouble getting back on track but today I got my journal out and set myself a raw plan, stacked my fruit bowl up at work and took all the money out of my wallet so I can not buy any other food. For me I am so congested, foggy and have put on weight so feel FAT and down. Oh yes I know how you feel so back to RAW we go, this is the way we know!
