Yes, I am strong enough to overcome yesterdays slip-ups! Lots of slip-ups and the more SAD I ate the more I wanted. It's really sad how strong of an addiction this stuff is.

But I'm back, with some fresh squeezed orange juice this morning and a banana. Already have my green smoothie in the works. :)

In response to StarFire's comment .... yes, SAd foods sure did catch me off guard! I've been raw since August 1st, and this was my first major slip up, and boy it just took over.

Anyways, I did have more sad food today, but it doesn't feel like before, where I would keep going with sad, and abandon raw. And I feel like fighting very hard this time, to stay on the raw path. I know I can do it, I've done it with relative ease these past six weeks, surprising myself.

Today was a pretty good day, despite the sad foods. I received my new Good4U dehydrator. So far I'm loving it, very quiet.

I was impatiently waiting for it, since I wanted to try out the Mediteranian Almond bread. So when I started preparing for the bread, I realized I could make almond milk as a by-product. Which in return made me whip up a crunchy granola cereal. Dillan is definitely excited over the prospect of having cereal and milk, like he has seen his older brother have.

So the cereal is dehydrating, and I'll be making the almond milk fresh in the morning. I had to modify my usual granola recipe, since I am out of buckwheat.

So the recipe just has chopped hazelnuts, whole sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and quinoa. All coated in date puree. Oops, just realized I forgot the vanilla, oh well. Maybe I'll add a bit in the almond milk.

    For me, it's not so much that the food is cooked, it's that it is so very filling! And I miss that full feeling! But really, all the other good feelings (truly good as in healthy) ahve come from eating raw. On another topic-- Encouraged by your Good4U experience, I've also got one on the way! I've got sooo many things to look forward to trying! such as waffles!
