Hey everyone!

Well, I haven't posted in a while...kinda fell off for a minute. Not completely, though...

I'm just trying to be honest with myself. It's just so hard sometimes!!! In my mind and heart I want to be 100% RAW.... But, sometimes, after cooking for my family and smelling the aroma from it, it's hard to sit at the table with them and eat something other than what they're eating. Sometimes I can do it and other times I give in. The really funny thing is that they LOVE when I eat RAW. They encourage me to do it, but they don't want to give up cooked food entirely. They won't do it, but they want me to do it. Well, I guess 100% RAW is something I'm just not capable of doing until my kids are older and can cook for themselves.

I'm not beating myself up, mind you! I'm really not. When I'm RAW, I'm RAW and I'm good at it. Most of the days, I do eat Raw. I have learned to bounce back faster now, if I fall off. I've also learned that this is a journey to get to 100% RAW. I'm not there yet. I hope to be, though. It's my GOAL!!!! Alissa didn't do it overnight. Neither did a lot of people on this site go 100% RAW overnight.

So, I'm still taking things one day/one meal at a time. I still have some Green Smoothie left from what I made yesteday. So, I'm gonna go have that and I feel like meditating again on my "Why". In short, my journey continues......:)

    Hey Nee'

    Good to see you. :) Just be "HIGH RAW" and eliminate the stress of 100%. That's what I do. ;)

    YaY - Nee"!

    I just ate watermelon too. It's so easy to eat 1/2 of one and so cleansing.

    Good luck with everything! I, too, cook for my family. My son eats vegetarian (he's two), so he eats a lot of the same foods I do. My husband, however, is a complete carnivore. Thankfully, I'm at a point where most of what he eats is not appealing to me. Eat raw when you can, but if you want to do 100%, I KNOW you could!!! :)

    I'm with you too! It's tough to be 100% sometimes, but when I do it I feel amazing. Welcome back I hope you have a wonderful raw day today :)
