A Journal in Raw: End of Year One

http://www.blogspot.com/ajournalinraw

I can't believe that 2009 is about to end. My journey with raw foods has been an interesting one. I look upon photos of me when I went raw in 2007 and how quickly there was a difference in my appearance. The photos that I've taken this year reflect the weight that I've gained. I can't make excuses of what went wrong. Basically, it's all about choice! Moving forward, I'm looking to improve my life in 2010.

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SUBSCRIBED AND CONTINUE TO WATCH MY VIDEOS AND GIVE SUPPORT. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO SUCCEEDED IN YOUR RAW FOOD GOALS IN 2009, I COMMEND YOU FOR YOUR FABULOUS EFFORTS AND SAY CONTINUE THE EXCELLENT WORK.

For 2010, I intend to continue in this journey and improve my health and life. There are so many important things that depend upon my discipline and change in lifestyle. I am fatter than I've ever been and I hate it. I want to improve not only for myself but for those who's lives I touch.

Look for more information about the raw food diet and more videos on my journey to health.

Can you tell us what you think went wrong with your diet to cause you to gain weight? was it a 100% raw diet that you gained weight on?? Were you eating too many nuts or can you give us some examples of what sort of foods you could have eaten less of??I am just curious.

It's pretty simple - I didn't consume raw foods. As I mentioned in the video, I didn't stick with eating properly or eating raw.

Cynthia,

There are raw people videos where where the poster is boinging around and yelling enthusiastically, and that gives the impression that moving into the Raw Life can be done in a vacuum and is easy. And for some people, that's so.

Then there's you: you are frank and humble and flexible as you find your way. That's REAL and something everyone can relate to. Keep at it, and you will achieve whatever your spirit leads you to : )

Thank you so much for seeing me as I am and more so for appreciating it.

I think a good 5 recipes that you can easily do help make raw food meals happen when we are just dont feel like it. There were many times I "fell of the raw food wagon" but I just tell myself to "forget it and just focus on moving forward." Remember it took Kimberly Snyder (Beauty Detox Solution, a must read) 3 years to finally not crave cheese anymore. These things are not easy and that is why it is also important to remember to be flexible. Being 100% raw should never be the goal. Hope helps.

Cynthia,

I came here today because I have also been struggling with this. I've known for a long time what is right and what would 'heal' my fibromyalgia...it's the DOING part that I struggle with. I quit smoking SEVERAL times before I finally quit for good. Eating cooked and processed foods is just hard to 'quit' because it is all socially acceptable and most people see nothing wrong with eating this junk. Thank you for posting this as it DOES encourage me to keep trying...

Humble, kind, warm and fearless, what's not to like about this lady! I pray God gives you what you need to make it happen.

Peace

I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School based on the principles of the Universe: 真 Truthfulness 善 Compassion 忍 Forbearance.

Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China. People are being killed, tortured, put into concentration camps and have organs harvested from live people, simply because of their belief. More than 3400 Falun Gong practitioners have died at the hands of CCP in the past 12 years.

I understand the struggle. I had a hard time doing the raw diet. Do i eat better YES! Don't be so hard on yourself. Do what you can and keep learning. The journey is very hard!  I'm eating more fruit and vegetables because of all the knowledge and wisdom that I received! Am I perfect no, but I've changed my eating habits and I am able to learn what vegetables and fruits that I like or don't like.

[gr8fulbishop]

@letsgetraw At least you are honest. I am in support of your change. I just started watching your videos. Half way through this video, I know exactly how you feel. Not sure where you are with the journey, but AT LEAST YOU TRIED. So many people don't even TRY. Keep up the good work. Yes, I have subscribed!
