Day 2 I had a slip last night. Its not the healthy raw food that's making me overweight, its the overabundance of cooked junk I eat after the healty stuff It seems like I never have a problem during the day, but at night I crave cooked food and sweets. Yesterdays food was: 10:00-kale apple salad(one of my faves it has apple, rawkale,and a lemon and orange juice dressing) 12:00-mixed baby green salad and half of a grapefruit 3:30-salad greens with tomato, avocado,salsa and cooked beans this salad was supposed to be dinner but........at 7:30 my neice made tandoori chicken and brown rice. It smelled so good. I followed the small plate with 4 chocolates from her box of valentine candy and a cup of coffee with soy creamer. A second dinner and dessert was not in my plan, but life happens. I promised myself I would go easy on myself because I have forever to perfect my diet and I don't want to spend forever obsessing about perfection. I will work towards my goal a little at a time, and use the time spent counting calories to read, or dance, or go to the gym, or play with my doggies. I do feel guilty about the chicken. I have no problem cutting out meat, dairy, eggs but for some reason chicken is the last to go. Even fish is easy. I have hung up pictures of cute(real)chickens on my refrigerator. I feel like if I can see how cute they are maybe I will see that they are living things that feel pain and not want to eat them anymore. I decided when I started this that I wouldn't be a fanatic. I decided not to preach to others. I really want to do the best I can while still remaining flexible. I tried to be a fanatic last time and the whole thing collapsed. The good thing is that even when I returned to eating cooked foods I took many raw food habits with me. I continued to eat fruit for breakfast(alone or with other things) I ate tons of salad with or as meals I ate fruit for snacks. It wasn't lack of healthy food that was making me overweight, it was the overabundance of unhealthy food I consumed in the evenings. Maybe after dinner tonight I will have a cup of hot cocoa made with almond mik and sip it slowly. That will be my dessert and signal to stop eating. I will give it a try. Breakfast today was half a cantelope melon, I had coffee too. Lunch was half a grapefruit, half an avocado and some dehydrated flax crackers. Before I leave work in a couple of hours I will have a small kale apple salad. All food I eat is organic. For dinner I plan on having a tiny amount of veggie lasagna(my niece and nephew's dinner) and veggie salad. Add This Entry To Your CureZone Favorites! Print this pageEmail this page  Alert Webmaster
