  1. Spitting it out....(embarassed)

    Ok, well it's basically Day 3 and I did have a moment of weakness this morning when I had a few Ryvita (whole wheat) crackers. I actually don't know why I had them or why I slathered on the fruit spread and non raw almond butter (dumb move!). I had a lot of herbal tea after and I am basically going to take it easy for the rest of the day so that I can flush my system.

    Have one other thing that happened to me yesterday night which I feel embarrased about admitting. I got super stressed ...

  2. Not much new today...

    Well, today is Day 2 in my "Back to Raw" journey.

    One of the things I am doing differently this time so as not to cause my stomach too much distress is avoiding nuts. Not sure if anyone else has encountered this but nuts really seem to slow down my digestion and cause some unpleasant bloating.

    I still don't feel that great physically but emotionally I am happy to back eating living food.

  3. I need RAW!

    Well, enough is enough. I HAVE TO go back to RAW!

Funny though, even though I felt bad because I broke the fast, I could really tell how bad the fruits and veggies made my stomach feel. I think I will take the advice offered by the people who commented on my blog and do ...

  5. Thanks...

    Thanks for the comments....I know it may seem like I don't have a tonne of weight to loose but I feel so gross it's unbelievable. My abdomen is always bloated and I am afraid that someone will soon ask if I'm pregnant. Even on lemon water this morning, my stomach was still very bloated...had to wear my "fat pants" cuz couldn't fit into anything else. I work in an office environment so always have to wear a suit. Otherwise, when I'm at home it's elasticized sweat pants all the way!!!!!!!!!! ...
