After a recent struggle facing food addiction, binge eating, and difficulty facing cravings for unhealthy foods I have decided that it's time to get back to basics. I cannot, at this moment, commit to 100% raw. But I can commit to 100% whole food vegan with as much raw food as possible. I like "as much as possible" as a commitment because it will always keep me striving to eat more raw but if I only manage 50% raw I won't be down on myself for not reaching a higher goal. I need a balance right n… Continue

The last couple days have been really stressful and as a result I fell off the wagon HARD. coffee...pasta...pie...ice cream...junk, junk, junk!

Ugh...I feel absolutely horrible. Both physically and emotionally because I can't help but feel the guilt of destroying all I've been working for.

I will be home in NH in 2 weeks and I am feeling embarrassed by how I look and feel. I feel like this "moving south experiment" has been a failure and people will see that.

I want to turn things around and… Continue

I haven't blogged in quite a while so I thought I'd stop in and just write to say how things are going.

So I found some raw cheese at my local Fresh Market and decided to give it a try. It was fantastically delicious!!

I felt rather disappointed in myself but then decided the best course of action is to avoid dairy, raw or otherwise, until I can get all my cravings out of the way. If I can eat raw cheese as a logical and healthful addition to my diet and not just… Continue

Seriously...I CANNOT get cheese out of my head. I'm gonna spend some time doing some cheese research tonight I think and post a bit of info about the unhealthy and addictive properties of cheese in an attempt to convince myself to stop craving it. It makes me feel like I'm split personality or something!! I'm arguing with myself in my head and it's getting ridiculous. But I AM going to win this one so the cheese monkey better watch her back!
Today on the ride home I was thinking that I could jus… Continue
