This is my 3rd day. Not full 3rd day as there were falls here and there. Yesterday was hard for me. I thought it was going to be smooth sailing. Dh called and asked if I wanted him to stop and get something for dinner. I said yeah...it would be great if he picked up a lettuce and stuff for a nice salad. He said ok... and then he comes home with whataburgers, onion rings and that was it. I did take the meat out. I ate the rest of it and the onion rings that he brought with it. I had planned to eat a salad. I told him I am determined to change my ways and he said it is not good to be vegetarian that I need protein. Instead of standing firm and finding a better choice. I ate it so not to dissappoint him. ok, fine. I will pick myself up and dust myself off. I ate some watermelon after dh went to bed. I stayed up late reading entries on this wonderful site. I think this is such a god send for me. I need so much support. I am such a naturally negative person. I need people to advise and support me. I am so quick to fall of the wagon on my own. It is typical for me to say "I blew it so let me go and eat". I sabatoge myself if others don't do it for me. I am my worst enemy. I don't know why.
Today...I have had a glass of warm water with lemon. I ate the lemon and am going to make it a good day. I am in between jobs so I am desperate to find something. Stress makes me eat. I am such a compulsive eater. I eat out of desperation and because it's what I know. I love to eat.

    Hang in there! I'm on Day 3, too, so we have something in common. I'm finding this group to be the most amazing support I could imagine and can't wait to get on my computer for inspiration every day. Stick with it...put yourself FIRST! There'll be temptations and sidetracks...so is life. The point is not to beat yourself up about it - just keep focus on the goal of being a better *you* and forge ahead. I'll see you on Day 4! :)

    Jeannie, the first thing to do is not worry about being perfect as you're not only changing your whole way of eating, but trying to do it with a husband who doesn't quite understand how it works. You're doing awesome! You know about raw and have decided to give it a go. That's the first and most important step. Just keep incorporating more and more raw into your life day after day, and we'll keep cheering you on!!!
