I started on the raw path about 3 weeks ago. The first week was wonderful in so many ways. I have had a severe anxiety disorder for as long as I can remember, and just from a week of eating raw, my anxiety diminished, I felt no irritability whatsoever and just felt a sort of calm effect. Since that first week, I slipped up a couple of times just eating cooked vegan, but the past four days I have eaten things with dairy almost everyday. Honestly, I feel like crap! I am a barber, so sometimes I will only get 15 minutes to eat and by the time it gets to that point I am crazy with hunger so I end up getting something that I know is horrible for me and will make me feel horrible. I have been trying to bring a couple 32 oz smoothies with me and occasionally I will not feel the cravings, but almost every day I start out telling myself that I am going to follow my path but end up giving in to cravings. Why am I putting these poisons in my body???? Why do I crave poison? I know that I am emotionally attached to food and I am really struggling with detaching. I guess we will see where the coming weeks take me.
