Raw Foodist

Today is my 5th day and I am not the least bit discouraged.  This is so much easier for me than just going on a fat free, or low calorie diet.  For me, it has to be all or nothing, I need clear boundaries of what I should and should not eat, and raw food has drawn those boundaries for me.  I am feeling pretty good, still a bit tired, but I am still in a major transition mode.  I am finding that my thinking is a bit clearer, nerves a bit calmer, and my sense of hope much greater.

I am excited about all the support I am receiving from friends on Facebook, they are right there cheering me on, watching every post and hoping that I succeed.  This keeps me going!  It seems the more people are aware and really show they care, it makes me realize that I can do it.

Today I have had a large bowl of fruit, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, grapes, and pineapple, so delicious.  Later today I had a Hemp super-food shake mixed with frozen bananas, along with 2 slices of cracked wheat toast.  The toast is the only cooked food I have had in the past 2 days.  I am not 100% raw, working up to that as recommended by the pros.

I have been doing a lot of reading and research on Raw Food and Raw Vegan diets, and have learned so much which just encourages me even more, especially when I see the “before and after” photos.  I really am counting on this improving my quality of life, therefore, my lifestyle.  Stay with me on this journey, feel free to give me any input or advice as you can see, I am new at this.

Thanks for reading and joining me…Annette
