Okay, I need to rant. You've been forewarned.

So I decided to "treat" myself tonight, honor my cravings, and I had this spicy sweet potato salad from work (Whole Foods). Normally, sweet potatoes are one of the only cooked foods that doesn't make me feel yucky, but this...ugh. I felt like @#$%& afterwards!!! Not only that, but it wasn't even that good. They used yams, not sweet potatoes. I hate yams. So anyway, all I wanted after eating that was my green smoothie I had waiting at home. I wasn't hungry, but I just felt like I needed to clean myself out after the cooked nastiness!!! I just finished drinking my smoothie and I feel 1000% better. This experience, for better or for worse, has renewed my commitment to raw. Next time I get cravings like, it's Manna bread for me (makes me feel really good, despite being sort of cooked). Ugh...I'm still trying to shake off the trauma of dinner...lol.

Ench,

Great that you tried out your craving. I have to do that too in order to get it out of my system. When I have a reaction like yours, I know it is time to give it up.

Congrats.
