I've gained weight this challenge. I'm trying not to be bummed out by it, since I understand why it happened (I'm currently doing an emotional eating exercise where you let yourself eat whatever you want, as much as you want, to break the "pull" of deprivation.) It's working, but it's also leaving me bloated and with clothes that fit a bit too snuggly. It's funny how you crave a food and then sometimes when you actually let yourself eat it without guilt or building it up, you realize it's not that great, or it leaves you feeling gross.

I'm still eating raw till evening, but it's evening I crave junk and cooked food. I am trying to be patient with this process because I think I'm becoming a different person along the way: a person who doesn't feel overpowered by food or afraid of food. Eating oily or junky food without punishing myself, I actually feel the difference between how raw food makes me feel and, say, noodles and cookies.

I'm excited to have an all-raw day tomorrow. It's my boyfriend's birthday and I made a cake for him and some little raw cake/pie things for me so I can feel part of the party:-) and some extras in case anyone else wants some. It's the first time I've used my raw food cook books for a dessert, yay!

WOW I am not keeping up well on here. We are moving and I think I will be starting the challenge a little late since right now I dont have much of a working kitchen. I got my blendtec just in time for my new home. I am thrilled for my new raw kitchen! We are tossing the free microwave that comes with the house and attaching the dehydrator there. Its gonna be SO much fun! Cant wait!

Looking so forward to this challenge. I have been falling off the wagon a bit and I am ready to jump back on with both feet.

It's one of the "discussions" within this group: http://raw100.ning.com/group/wholefuaugust09/forum/topics/grocery-list-for-first-timers
