Day Sixteen – A bit Disillusioned!

I am bit confused today. I met a raw foodist who had been raw for 7 years, and the good raw too. She was a fruitarian who ate green leafy veggies and even avocados. But she looked incredibly unhealthy. She was emaciated. She was practically bald. I have to admit, I met a man this past week, who was also a big proponent and raw foodist like her, who also looked quite unhealthy and suffered from bad hair and partially balding. If this diet is so wonderful, than why all these sickly looking people. What does this mean…There must be something wrong with the way they are eating. It made me wonder. At the same time, I see my body and the way it reacts when I eat this way, and I can’t help but feel it is doing wonderfully. I also see my body and the way it reacts when I don’t eat 100% raw and it becomes ill. What to think right now is difficult? I did have some dehydrated veggie crackers last night with Celtic Sea Salt. I was so hungry. I did eat a liter of green and lots of fruit, but had pangs of hunger last night and gave in. I know that I have work to do emotionally and mentally to overcome this. One thing I am noticing about myself, is that always at the same time of the day, I get the worst cravings. Its always at around 6 pm. I can remain mentally strong all day, but around this time, I feel like giving in. I dream about all the cooked and even unvegan foods I want to eat and this continues up until I go to bed. Sometimes I succumb which is what I have done a few times since I started this blog and sometimes I just fall asleep thinking to myself how I will eat all my cravings the next day. I usually wake up without any cravings and ready to continue on this path of being 100% raw. I will admit right now, that if I end up looking like these raw foodist that I met, I will definitely be changing my diet. I don’t want to be or look like them.


My weight today is: 126
