I am wondering if other have experienced this:
I am on day #6 raw (almost 7 because I am about to go to bed--whoohoo!!). I have really adapted to being raw pretty easily this past week. In fact, it seems too easy for me.
I have been about 75% raw on and off for the past 6 months. It was always very hard. Being 100% is a whole different animal. When 75%, I did not lose the weight I am losing now (it was MUCH slower), and I didn't feel so good. But most glaringly, I craved cooked/SAD foods all of the time.
Now, 100%, I am not craving at all. In fact, I have very little appetite, and I have just been letting my body sort of speak to me, tell me what to eat when.
It's really weird because I have so much energy, and I eat enough, but I don't think about food at all, and just begin to crave certain raw foods when I get hungry.
Maybe you all are looking at this like, "duh...that is how it's supposed to be..." It just seems too easy, like maybe my body couldn't actually do this this quickly.
Finally, this is the amazing thing: I wrote to Jinjee last night and asked her if she had any tips on how to get rid of my stretch marks. I think her post-pregnancy pictures are absolutely amazing. She wrote me right back and gave me some tips, but most of all encouraged me to keep eating 100% raw.
Well, kind of coincedence, but this afternoon when I got home from work, I changed out of my uniform into my clothes, and noticed my tummy was smaller, so I started feeling it. It is seriously not just shrinking, it is getting firmer. I have all of this skin just hanging from the baby, it has never gone back. But it was like a miracle that it is magically going back and firming up. I am in shock.
I started the exercise and massage/taking care of tummy tips she gave me. I really think raw foods might help me to totally get rid of this problem. I got this non-elastic skin from my mom who, in her early 60s STILL has the post-pregnancy skin just hanging there...
