    Why not my diet?

    It's time...

    I've been flip-flopping between 90% RAW and lately, sometimes closer to 25-75% raw due to vacation and losing my focus on the GOOD things in life.



    I have many blessings, but right now am under alot of stress, as well.

    I believe RAW can give me the strength and CLARITY OF MIND as well as SPIRITUAL SHARPNESS to survive the little side of hell through which I'm traveling...

    1. drink 4 cups water (drank 3)
    2. drink 2 cups carrot juice (missed)

    I keep repeating the same pattern. The scale reached a new low, and I reached for high calorie food. Why is it so difficult to accept that success and continue it? Is it self sabotage? Is is celebration? Is it lack of discipline? I'm going to say yes on all three accounts. Time to deal with each of those issues.

    Here's how it's gone. Ten pounds the first 10 days, by the end of 3 weeks, 15 lbs. During the next 10 weeks, 13 lbs. Total 0f 28 lbs released in 13 weeks. Okay, ...

    Yesterday I did a water fast until 2 p.m. Overall it was successful. The first two hours were the hardest because I found myself debating over whether or not to really go through it. My mind said, "if I eat now, I could just not fast today." I went back and forth and luckily enough time eventually passed that I figured I had already started fasting, so it would be a waste to stop.
