  1. Need Encouragement :(

    I have not been doing too well with being raw ever since my dh left for military training almost 2 weeks ago. Why does it have to be so hard?

    I am so ashamed to admit that I made a batch of nobake cookies two days ago and, over the course of 2 days, ate every single one of them. Myself. That is 2 c. of white sugar, 1 stick of butter... You get the idea. I want to throw up. I can't stand to be in my body like this! I feel jittery, and dizzy, and miserable. I snap at the ...

  2. Sleepless in Rawville...

    Here I sit at 11 p.m. on the second night my dh is gone. I think I am avoiding the empty bed! I find myself letting the kids go to bed an hour or so later than usual just so I have company for longer!

    I did pretty well today. We had a party over the weekend, and I made some SAD cookies for the event. I ended up giving in and having a few today. Uuugh. So heavy and greasy and blah!

    I really hope eating raw will help me with my addiction to sweets. It is as if ...

  3. Back for the Attack!

    Yes, it is pitiful. I haven't blogged since January. A lot of family stuff was happening and I just put raw food on the back burner. During that time, I learned a lot about what foods make my body happy and what foods make me miserable.

    Raw food makes me feel light, have energy, be happy for my hubby and kids, etc.

    Cooked food, for the most part DOESN'T.

    I really, really want to make this raw challenge work this time! I am on day #2 for me, as I totally ...

  4. Late Night Posting...

    Wow, my eyes are practically shutting and here I am, posting for day #5 of raw. I am feeling ok. The rest of the family, including the wee one, are coming down with the sniffles and coughs. I am doing alright so far, except little girl wants to nurse all the time for comfort and that is totally wearing me out. I feel like I am eating everything in sight, too.

    Is it possible to gain weight on this diet, especially in the beginning? I ask because my scale has yet to budge and it ...

  5. Dig, dig, dig some more-DAY #4

    Ok, so today I am ravenous!! I had some of those carrot burgers with curry sauce and an apple for breakfast and lunch, and am finding myself just grazing all day like a cow. I guess that is healthy though!!

    It was a rough day with the kids (attitude problems, I think they are coming down with some colds...) and by the time I got them in bed and trudged upstairs for the millionth time to tell them to get back in bed, I thought I was going to fall over from hunger. The crusts ...
