    Wed, June 18, 2008
    Weight: 131.2

    Well, been doing excellent with raw since my fast ended a week and a day ago. I'm really loving the food. Raw foodism is indeed a journey of discovery. I am in a wonderful process, discovering little by little how this plan will work for me. Here is a run-down of each day since my last entry:


    Day Three: Thurs., June 12

    Ate a large container of nuts plus raw fruits and veg. Had coffee at work with bad fake ...

    Day One of 30 Days 100% Raw
    Weight: 127.8

    Ended my fast today. Went 4.5 days on water with some limeade with stevia, chicken broth, and coffee thrown in. My sister fasted with me, and we both lost 10 lbs on the scale. Still extremely exhausted... Lovely to be eating again, and 100% is tasting and feeling great.

    Weight: 132??

    I have a long way to go on this journey to good physical and mental health with regard to eating. I think my mistake this time was just keeping food in the house that is not supposed to be part of my new raw lifestyle. Well, that, ...

    Weight: 135

    My announcement for the day: I am starting a fast today!!!!!

Which means that IF I can do it... 14 days fasting total!!! I know I CAN do this.. but it's all a matter of how bad I really want it. And I DO want it really badly, because now that I have the secret of the all raw diet, I WON'T be able to ...

  5. One great cup of coffee deserves another

    May 25, 2008
    Weight: 134.2

    Just drank one point five cups of coffee. The first one was great, the second half-cup was disgusting.

    I've read many times on this board that raw (especially 100%?) helps you overcome problems with gluttony/ emotional eating. Well, I think this may be true!!!!! I don't know if its the healing (mentally too) quality of the food... Or if its just that eating truly healthy food removes the guilt that surrounds the act when one is trying ...
