Day Eight – Falling off the Wagon

So I fell of the wagon today. I ended up spending most of the day on raw, but towards nightfall, which is usually my toughest part of the day, I ate chips and salsa at a friend’s house and drank wine Oh and also smoked a hookah. Yeah, I was bad. I also had yucca with a tomato salad that had oil, salt, and sugar in it. So I was not being on my best behavior last night. But not all is lost, if you can learn from your mistakes. I realized something so valuable because of this fall. More I think than I ever have learned from all the times I went on raw. The most valuable thing I learned is that it truly is all mental. Its what you do to yourself mentally that will determine if you stay on this for any length of time. I have not been focused mentally. I have had the best intentions, but mentally I have a been focused on my friends death and not on this cleanse. I was not as positive as I could have or should have been. Because of this, I didn’t stick to the cleanse. My time now should be spent on mental exercise, where I concentrate on life as being 100% raw and on all positive thoughts. This I believe is the best gift a cleanse can give. You create acid in your body with negative thoughts. I have proven this to myself time and time again. In the last few days, excluding this one, I have been on raw but I have been under stressful thinking. In return, I have gained weight, retained water, developed acne, and felt tired. Though I was eating well, the mind took over and body was sick. Its 90% mental 10% what you eat. This is the truth. This is the trick to sticking on it. And this is the most valuable lesson I have learned so far.


My weight today is: 125 lbs.
