It won't be long and we will be in 2012. Wow. Six years ago I stumbled on to raw foods. I can't believe it has taken me so long to get back. For two full years I've eaten sad foods. Gained everything I lost back. I have acne again. Must drink coffee to get through my day. I started down the sad diet again when we could no longer afford me eating raw. It is not so much that we can afford it now, but rather I'm willing to eat so much less. It's discouraging to start at the very beginning again. But I must start.
Here I go.
For the last two days I had a raw breakfast. This afternoon a romaine head of lettuce. I can do this.
(((hugs)))

    Hi ShelShel!!! ((((HUGS)))) Don't look at the time you were raw as being wasted and now you're starting all over again.... Remember, this is a journey. If you walk up a flight of stairs then take two steps back, do you go back down and start all over again? Of course not!

    Eating cooked food is not a sin, it's just a choice. Think of that everytime you eat something. You have to say to yourself, "I'm CHOOSING to eat Raw. I feel SO good when I eat Raw! Raw food tastes SO good...I think I'll have THAT!!!"

    If you stumble again, just pick forgive yourself and continue on. Nobody's perfect. Yes, you CAN stay Raw...if you CHOOSE to. Make the choice each and every meal that you eat. Soon you'll find yourself CHOOSING to eat Raw more and more and you'll look back and say, "WoW!!! I've been RAW so long, I've lost track of the days!!!!"
