I'm trying to figure this whole thing out... blogging... I'm not sure if I'm doing it right or not... or if this is even where I'm supposed to post???

I do know that as part of my reclamation year, reclaiming my health is an integral piece.... I've done quite a bit of transforming already... - I've added consistent movement and physical activity back into my daily lifestyle.... I've gotten away from the vegan 'junk food' that is so readily available....

and yet... I feel as though I'm gaining weight... my skin is broken out.... and I'm sluggish, achy and tired.

A few years ago on my journey towards a healthy lifestyle, I'd finally found 'raw foods' and had very good success.... I'm not exactly sure why I started back with cooked foods or how it escalated... and maybe the why doesn't matter as much as the realization that my eating had gotten out of control (it's weird being a fat vegan....) and I was using food for comfort...

So... -deep breath-... I have found my way back and I'm committing to continuing to treat myself with love ... nourish my body with foods that are fabulous ... and reconnect with my feelings.

Feelings: Hopeful, anxious, happy


... scatter joy...

    I've also been asking myself why I gave up Raw last time when I felt so good, and how I got into such bad eating habits again. But like you said, the important thing is not the past but the fact that we are here and committed to the highest vision for our lives. I'm also feeling those exact same emotions - anxiety, hope, happiness...

    You're going to just great this time, cos now you know what it's like when you leave raw behind and start feeling like pooh. I was reading somewhere that "eating live foods creates a live body and eating dead foods creates a dead body". I know none of us want a dead body........

    I look forward to reading many more of your blogs
