Friday, Day 15, I enjoyed the best raw taco and raw rasberry torte. However, although my meal was good to me, I would soon found out that it was not good for me.

After I ate my 1st tasty raw "treat" I wanted sugar,salt and fast food almost immediately! I went to bed Friday night thinking about cravings.

Saturday, Day 16, when I woke up, I felt lethargic, tired and grouchy. I had a speaking engagement and out of all the food they had, I made a beeline straight to my drug of choice: CAKE! This gave me a good dupomine(sp?) rush to get me through my event.

When it coems to certain foods, I know I can eat them, and they will make me so sleepy, all I can do is go straight to bed. I also decided to give in to my craving for a Subway Veggie Sub and it put me out like a light. In bed @ 8pm just like old times.

Today, Day 17, I am still experiencing the crazy cravings I did back in Days 1-3. I had totally forgotten how it felt to feel tired, drained and physcially empty. The difference in my thinking now, is that I have come too far to turn back and I am committed to this lifestyle.

I wish that I could say it's been all roses and great, but I guess that's not how it goes. I have no idea how I could make it through this without our challenge support group. I actually had no idea why I felt so "off". I thought I was just tired from the public speaking. Thank God for Alexis and Alicia today!

Unlike my old self, I have learned some pretty valuable lessons: I was unable to get my calorie count to see where I stand for a few days based on eating unplanned food. I want to leave that tired,worn out feeling in the past. I need to always be honest with myself about being a sugar addict and not think that I could possibly beat my addiction in a matter of a few weeks.

I hope that my lessons today can help someone who may need it......

p.s. I apologize for my voice sounding choppy on the video today. I had a piece of gum in my mouth. :O

I think it's so interesting that we all had the same food, and without knowing about how it effected each other, we all reported the exact same problems. The funny thing is that those tacos were no where NEAR as fatty and spicy as most gourmet, raw food from raw restaurants (and potlucks)! They only had a little bit of taco nut "meat". You summed it up perfectly. All raw food is NOT created equal! Keep on kickin', mama! :)
