I'm trying to read from different sources about raw food.

found this site:

www.beyondveg.com

it's a very interesting site, lots of helpful articles written by long-time vegetarians, raw fooders, fruitarians.. etc.

I agree with the idea in some articles that, diet should not be dogma.

I'm doing this for health reasons.. (though ofcourse I respect people who are doing it for phylosophical or ethical reasons.)

So I'm not intending to obsess about the ultimate 100%, or being 100% pure.

I like to take care of myself and to cherish the body that god has given me, but it's not the end of the world if I have some good cooked foods, or even bad cooked foods.

I want to get rid of the feelings of guilt and hatred between me and food.

I have an eating disorder already (bulimia).. I don't want this raw food diet to be a cover for my bulimia, I want through this diet, to start living a healthy, moderate lifestyle, in which I will mostly raw, (maybe 70% or above) with a bit of cooked foods here and there.

I want to be able to love all the food, and have everything I like occasionally.

For now, that's what I can do.

Today I had some nuts in the morning, and a big salad at lunch. (mostly raw with some cooked broccoli and red kidney beans)

I do not want to eat in the evening.

    You made a very strong statement in your blog..."I want to get rid of the feelings of guilt and hatred between me and food." I think many people are going through similar relationships with food. I struggle every day with food choices and how much I eat, and it is my goal, through eating raw, to get to a point where my body tells me when I'm full and what it needs to be nourished.

    Good luck with your healthy lifestyle! My sister is a recovering bulemic, and although recovery takes some work, you can do it! Best wishes to you!
