  1. Day 6

    So here comes the real test! I was hesitant to go to my parents' house for the holiday because I knew I wasn't far enough along with the Raw Food thing that I could withstand their pressure to eat cooked food and lack of understanding about my desire to be healthier. I've discovered I have food allergies over the past 1 1/2 yrs and that's been a nightmare to make them understand. They see it as obsessive, whereas I see it as I can leave my house without worrying I'll have some major GI issue ...

The percentage was so miniscule but still not 100% and I wanted to fess up.

  4. 13th and 14th days

    These days were busy for me, because my son's birthday party is tommorow. Busy is good, because then I have no cravings. I am definetely detoxing at this point. I had to take two showers today, because my sweat stinks too much.But I feel good.
    I ate my usual things except I did not eat melons because I am trying to see if my craked mouth corners will go away. I searched more about it, and some opinions are that it is candida-thrush. I never had one as far as I know.
    One more-zinc ...
