Okay so to pick up where I left off, I have stopped being raw for the most part. Half of that I blame on influences of my DH who does understand the benefits of eating the way I do but coming from a poor upbringing cringes at the amount of money I spend on my “special diet foods”. So I had a salad today and some chopped up celery and on the one hand I felt good to be eating fresh again, but I think I have to get back in the groove of things so to speak. I didn’t feel satiated and I had other food cravings all day. I think I may have to start all over again, which means going through the cravings, withdrawals, the weakness, and then the breakthrough of clarity and energy. I thing it took about 2-3 weeks for me to “get over” my old food crushes before. It will probably be until the new year that I can return to this lifestyle since I have agreed with DH to follow a temporary budget so that we can accomplish some other things. I was just thinking though, it was soooo easy to lose weight when I was eating that way.I am not so much at a plateau now, as things are just very slow and slightly boomerang-ish (gain a couple, lose a couple). I figure if I’m making steady progress with my gym routine and calorie monitoring now, I’ll be much better off when I go back raw. January 1, 2010 its on!
