I was down almost 7 pounds, but had a couple of heavy eating days and am now back up to the 5 pounds lost.

I HAVE eaten some raw everyday though...and while I enjoy the food, there is some mental hurdle/process to get to the point where I decide that's what I'm going to eat.

When I lie in bed every morning/night I still think about going all raw...but don't know that I will ever go totally, completely. What makes me think of it though, is healing. I know I need to actually HEAL this endometriosis and not just stop it from getting worse. And while I do think it is actually gotten better, in ways, because I am more active than I was the last number of years being a full-time student, the activity is exacerbating my symptoms to the point that I feel them everyday now.

It really is a situation that is putting pressure on me to change faster than I am psychological ready to, I feel.

But I have a light few weeks coming up, after today, and then a really light August, so maybe that will be just the boost I need...get organized, clean house, I will actually have a bit of money. It will give me time to clear my head, clear my house...am looking forward to the opportunity, as it has been years since I have had both time and money to get my ducks in a row.

    Thanks for sharing. What has been your approach to raw recipes? Do you make something based on an old favorite? or do you try something new?

    So far I have been just having fruit and salads. I seem to keep having the same salad over and over because it's so yummy though, lol.

    LOTS of greens, preferably not all/any iceberg lettuce
    a tomato
    an apple
    some cucumber slices
    some green onion/regular onion
    a full avocado
    maybe a dash of olive oil
    a good amount of salt
    ...sometimes some garlic powder, or chipotle powder, or pepper, or fresh chives or fresh basil, a handful of seeds

    YUMMMMMY

    Haha I do the same thing with my juices, theyre too good to try something else. That sounds really good! I'm going to have to try this once I break my fast. Thanks!

    If you need some inspiration for that psychological hurdle, here is a great quick book! I'm just starting out to on this raw journey, and loving it! This book is helping me significantly.... Soak Your Nuts by KKaryn Calabrese. The name got me interested, but she really knows what she's talking about!
