Integrity

Rate this Entry
What a strong word... And my EGO absolutely HATES it...

So I didn't end up finishing the diet as I thought I was last blog (you know, the old excuse of... had to have my cereal, had to have my chips), BUT..

we got a cat.

HUH? a cat? now what does that have to do with being raw? you think...

well, it's been about a week now..

And I realized... i'm allergic to cats!!

It's been bad... It's been REALLY bad!

Coughing, sneezing, wheezing, runny nose, red eye... etc etc

I mean, it's been REALLY bad...

I knew... after being miserable and being HARDLY able to breathe... if I'm going to heal myself, I have to stick to the green smoothies.

And I have. Starting only 2 days ago, I've seen a HUGE difference in my allergy symptoms...

All my allergy symptoms are pretty much gone except for my cough and the mucus in my throat.

With prayer, I was able to continue today...

But I'm not gonna lie... IT'S FRICKIN HARD when you live with a family of 7 who all eat cooked foods...

I was super tempted to eat a sandwhich a few hours ago...

But, my conscious (my angels, my higher self) just wouldn't let me feel comfortable with eating that sandwhich... I was THAT close, but I was filled with something in between the lines of guilt and being let down...

But, I think this is all a question of integrity. Am I standing up for what I know is right for my body, or am I making excuses about why I need to eat what is not beneficial at all?

It was all about integrity.

So,,, now I'm at a cross roads. I don't have a job to support my diet right now, and I can't see into the future of how I'm going to get more raw foods without a salary or extra money in the least...

I think I'll go about this journey in faith...

In faith... Please pray for me so that I can finally live in abundance of raw foods and raw food recipes... I really DO love being and eating raw...

I would love to do so, abundantly...
