I've been doing really, really badly lately. I have a very all-or-nothing, black and white way of thinking when it comes to food. It's something I've been trying to work on for years. I've fallen off the wagon so far I wonder if I will be able to catchup. I feel so discouraged becasue I *want* to eat raw, but when I go to friends' houses or events, I can't eat raw, and I feel like I've "failed." SO I give up becasue I think "I will NEVER be able to maintain this as a lifestyle, like I want to." And I do not want to take my own raw dishes to friends; houses for a few reasons. They would be insulted. I don't want them to have to accommodate me more than they already do (Especially w/DS's severe and MANY allergies, they are really good about making things he can eat.) I want to be able to enjoy myself without focusing on food. And it's really expensive and we don't have enough money to buy all kinds of raw stuff. We have food stamps and have to make those stretch, so if my family eats raw, we really have to pinch pennies and as selfish as it is, we can't feed other people too often. I really want to start raw again. I have to go shopping tomorrow, and after binging on junk the past few weeks, I am so depressed and feel like I will never lose the weight I've gained back since last summer. Last summer I was all raw and felt great and weighed the lowest I have ever weighed in my life. My self esteem was so good. Now I don't fit in any of my clothes. (I had to go to Goodwill last night and buy a pair of jeans 2 1/2 sizes bigger. ) I feel like poo. Can you guys PLEASE, really, seriously hold me accountable? I need the help and the accountability and the motivation. Remind my WHY I want to eat raw and be healthy, not just thin. It's so hard for me right now. AS some of you probably know, I've battled an eating disorder for many years, and it really, really complicates things IRT food. But when I was eating raw it really wasn't an issue, as long as I stuck to it and didn't eat more than one SAD meal per week (on Sundays when we went out with our church family.) SO I could really use the help. I'm so down about it right now. Sorry for that total depressing post (and you thought yours was depressing, blossomnatalia!!!! ) |

Raw almond milk is SOOOOOOOOOOOO easy to make! Any nut milk is actually! I got a new blender (well a used one, my MIL gave it to me) so I'll be back to drinking my green smoothies everyday! I've really been off the bandwagon and eating horrible. I would like to go at least 75% raw full time. I do eat meat. I like meat. And I can't imagine giving it up fully, especially when we're on such a budget and my dh and dd love meat and refuse to not not eat it. But I'm going to strive to do better! SO many good recipes...I don't care for shredded coconut though and seems every recipes calls for it! I'll post a couple good recipes when I have some time. |

I'd love to be held accountable too! We're not perfect, but so long as we are trying and improving and following our body's cues then what more can we ask for?

Anyone also finding that they need to eat much *less* when they eat raw?

Re: Calling all wanna-be RAW foodies! pics, recipes, & post your progress! Come on!!
we're about 75% raw vegan over here in fact, i am about to post a blog about it the other 25% of the time we're pecto-veggie. we still eat some eggs and i'll have salmon on occasion i feel SO GOOD eating this way my skin is starting to GLOW again. (i've never had bad skin, but it is looking even more youthful and radiant )
anyway, i'm excited to try some of the 'cookie' recipes posted here, once i get my hands on some raw cocoa powder. |

I'm definitely just a wanna-be - if that even! - but I've started adding way more raw into my diet these past couple months. I start my day with a green smoothie and sometimes have one for lunch as well.
My favourite green smoothie is 2 bananas, 1 cup of frozen sliced strawberries OR frozen blueberries, a generous handful of spinach, 2 Tbsp wheat germ, a large drop of honey, and 2/3 cup water to mix. Sooo good, and I can let my son sip away at it too.

I'm doing 80% raw and vegan again this summer! Somehow, it just works out better for me during the hot months.
My favorite snack right now is arugula lettuce from our garden and sliced pears with some lemon juice and olive oil slashed on...and sprouted hummus and veggies. I have to keep it simple and only treat myself to fancy every once in a while, or I get discouraged. Anyway, just reporting in for the next five months! |
