Wow, how easy that was (to fall off the wagon)
I’m not sure where it came from, and its was really unexpected. But once it hit me, I knew it would not be something I could just talk myself out of. After a long day of overtime at work (filled with delcious breakfast and lunch of melon, berries, and veggies) I did something very unRAW. I was fine until I crossed the parking lot and got in my car, when suddenly the the thought “I’m going to Panera’s” entered my mind. That was all there was too it. My mind didn’t think of regrets, trying to redirect my cravings, or anything else. It was a good 20 minute ride and my mind did not waiver once. So I broke my diet of raw food for the second time in a week, the first was with the kids’ cheese pizza crusts, and I completely broke my vegetarian record of 3 weeks by eating a cuban sandwich from Paneras. I did not plan on getting any sweets but when I walked in the door I automatically grabbed the small bag of petite dozen cookies I have normally gotten in past. I only started to have regrets as I was half way through the first half of the sandwich. Not surprisingly the one half filled me up, but I followed through with old habits and ate the other half feeling extra full and topping it off with 3 petite cookies (5 by the time I drove home). At least the tea was unsweetened. Its about 45 minutes post feast and I feel nauseas and overstuffed. I don’t know where that fiendish crave came from, but I am looking forward to getting back to natural foods. I don’t feel good right now. I think I’ve been feeling like something was lacking in terms of eating even though I’ve been feeling full from the fruits and veggies. Been reading a book that says that when the body craves a particular food I should try to find out what vitamin or mineral I’m deficient in and try to replace that craving with a particular fruit, veggie, nut, sprout instead of cooked food. I would like to know what made me go for that sandwich today, because after its all said and done I am not feeling physically satisfied with my choice and I don’t want to do it again. As hard as this raw food thing is, there is some pleasure and satisfaction I’m getting from it. That’s all for today.

well the important thing is that you dont get into your head that everythings ruined. youve still done really well for the past few weeks right? its only human to have one day where you completely freak out and eat eat eat :p this is all i know about what your food cravings really mean and it will be useful if your a chocolate fan. when you crave chocolate it means your body is after calcium and milk. and it goes for other sweet snacks but instead its most likely craving sweet fruits. hope that a helps a little but try doing some more research on google! goodluck x
dont worry about today, worry about tomorrow. let it go, and keep moving forward.
