Day 10 & going strong

Rate this Entry
Today is day 10 of 100% raw. I feel pretty good, tired but I think that has more to do with lifestyle. I'm very busy right now and pulled in many directions. This being said, I have noticed that my attitude is getting better. I don't feel as anxious about my full schedule. I feel like I am taking each task in stride and calmly getting the task done, or not. I'm doing the best I can and recognizing this is a first.

I have a lot of personal things to work on. I'm hoping that with raw food, I will feel well enough and will have the strength to "fix" some of the things that I find to be rather broken in my life. Anxiety and stress are such major factors for me and I just have this hunch the food I had been ingesting really made things worse. I believe that I will tolerate 'things' better if well fed.

I haven't lost anymore weight since Sunday. I remain at 130 and I am ok with this. I thought I would be discouraged once the drastic weight loss slowed, but quite the contrary. I feel that maintaining here at 130 givess the raw lifestyle more meaning. I doing this for health, not smaller dress sizes. This is good.

I want to thank you all for your kind and encouraging words. I love reading your stories and hearing your experiences. I think checking in daily is giving me the support I need. I can't get it from people I hang out with as they all think I'm going to die from protein deprivation. HAHA.

I love watermelon.
