Did a family event and there was more food than you can imagine. I ate tons of veggies and salsa and was fine until they brought out all the sushi, pasta, bread, cheese and you name it! I managed to stay in control for the most part, but ate hummus that I believe was NOT raw. Before I knew it, I was eating cheese. Crap.

Anyway, because I ate a ton of hummus and cheese, I will begin from scratch. I'll say I was 2 weeks raw and tomorrow I will start day 1 again. My 30 day challenge begins all over. Wonder how crappy I will feel in the morning??

I'm okay with my slip up. I have this strange feeling that I will slip now and again. What I am trying to believe is that if I beat myself up, I will head for a downward spiral. I just have to accept that I ate cooked and start fresh tomorrow. No guilt. New beginnings. Of course, deep down I want to cry as I was doing such a perfect job at being 100 % raw. I had this strange feeling I would crumble once I got close to my period. No more crumble. Tomorrow, it is back to raw.

I can do this. I really hope I can do this. What will it take to convince myself that eating cooked foods is not an option despite it being so tempting. I feel terrible on cooked foods.

Funny tonight: my sister-in-law said she did not buy the whole enzyme concept of raw food. She said she was going to research it as she felt it was a load of s***. She'll see. The articles online are pretty convincing.

Thanks for helping me guys and gals! You have really kept me motivated. I shall get back on the raw foods tomorrow.

good night.

    the funny thing is- it's good if you feel like crap after eating sad, keeps you from doing it again. if you feel the same, sometimes you'll tend to think it doesn't matter... but it DOES, it just show up bigger later. do begin again & feel good about it.

    The best thing is that you did not let this becomme a binge. You could have gone nuts but you kept in control and just had a little coagulated cow juice and hummus. That's really not that bad! Glad to see you back on the agon today!

    WOrry not fair SMG ~ we've all done it. I had a "french fry" incident just two days ago. Take care and you are on the right track. Sorry about your sister-in-law too. Sometimes the things that frighten people the most are the things they know nothing about.
