hello TroySantos! i'm a little late in welcoming you to the diary section, but i just read through your journal and wow, you have got a very cool and fascinating life!
a lot of what you said in your last post is over my head (becoming raw has for whatever reason inspired me to look into Eastern religions and beleifs, but i have only dabbled in a bunch of them instead of studied just a few in-

hey hun! i decided not to have any wine for now. i used to love having a glass to unwind, but now i know i'd get trashed off of a glass and then end up feeling miserable! plus i don't know if i could find truly raw wine.
i felt pretty hungry most of the day today, and i really thought i had eaten a ton, but when i added it up on fitday it came out to much less than i thought! here's what i

hey all, this is 2 questions in one, thanks in advance for your input!
first question- i've heard that it's very good to get 30 minutes of unprotected sun exposure per day for vitamin D. i go for a walk or run outside nearly every day for 30 mins. to 60+ mins. i havne't been wearing sunblock and don't get burned in this short amount of time. but as the summer gets closer i am getting a litt

khale, i hope you feel better tomorrow! that magnesium tea sounds pretty cool, i've been getting headaches lately (detox) and i may look into that, since they pretty much kill my whole day!

Hey ladies! And gents, if any are reading, lol. I’m going to update now b/c I know I’ll be busy cleaning the apartment and making some zucchinaghetti later, and I want to be able to browse other journals later as well, so I’d better write in mine now!

thanks for all the comments about how i didn't do so badly yesterday! i know at least i was all raw, and i'm trying to be more forgiving of myself when i don't follow a set "plan." after all, my body doesn't care one bit what i decided i'd eat for lunch...it's going to want what it wants anyway!

hey all, no time to comment, but i'm feeling pretty down tonight. i'm not sure why, i think detox. i also feel like i "failed" for the day b/c i came home from work so hungry i literally thought i was going to pass out, and ate carrots w/ raw hummus, about 6 raw cashews, and a banana, then wasn't hungry enough for the yummy zucchinaghetti i'd planned on having. not to mention i had m

omg i forgot about the most exciting part of my day so far! so i put in a couple of volunteer applications at local animal shelters, and so far 2 of them have gotten back to me (my top 2 choices b/c i just loved the descriptions on their sites!) and they both want me to volunteer! i'm going to an orientation and helping at an adoption event next saturday for one of them, called Much Love Animal

hello Elakti!
you know what i was thinking earlier? there seem to be a lot of people who just started out on raw the same time as i did, and you know what, not only are we still here and not giving up, we are THRIVING! you are one of those people, i am so proud of your accomplishments and improvements so far! seeing everyone doing so well and conquering any challenges and struggles makes me

Elakti, starfruit & sachelle, thanks for backing me up a/b my mom. my mom thought it was ridiculous that i wouldn't take it. i tried explaining that my body is detoxing toxins like those found in excedrin, so taking it would just eventually give me another headache, but the she just went on and on about me being extreme. this was after

i can't believe how fast this whole week has gone by. it's been really easy for me to stay raw. i haven't even had cravings for cooked. i've craved lara bars, but other than that i have also been craving raw fruits like mangoes, strawberries, bananas & apples like mad, so that's good. i'm feeling satisfied on less foods lately, and i get full much faster than i used to. i also haven't wan

oooh man, i have a really bad headache. i wonder why i feel so good during the week, then on the weekends i feel headachey and tired? maybe b/c i don't have a lot of work to focus on? this is one of the worst headaches ever though. i didn't have time to sleep it off and it's just gotten worse. i feel sort of sick and i hope i feel better tomorrow at work. it may be b/c i ate too much fat ye

hey ladies!
Elakti, the dates idea is a good one, but i don't really like dates plain i know, i'm like the only person on this board who doesn't like them. they are just too sweet for me, and too gooey, it sort of grosses me out! but i've made peace with the fact that i'll be eating lots of lara bars. after all, they are still raw and healthy!

Great job w/ everything! i am so impressed by your fast. i think fasting (and raw in general) not only cleanses your body, but also your mind and your emotions. i hope you are beginning to heal and move past what happened. i think it is so wonderful that you are doing something positive for yourself to cope rather than remaining caught up in a cycle of self-destruction (purging). that takes

i'm interested to see that others have also lost weight eating 100% raw but still eating a significant amount of fat.
i've been 100% for only about a week, but i have been 75%+ raw for almost a month now. i lost a few pounds on 75%+ even though i started at a normal weight- 5'3 and about 110-112 pounds. then i stalled, but when i went 100% i really saw a drop in body fat. i'm down to about

pakd4fun, i feel the same way as you re: just eating whatever we want when we're hungry and not overeating. raw is just more satisfying and the taste is stronger, i think maybe that's why i don't have any desire to eat past the point of satisfaction. not that i used to overeat much, but i did used to eat to the point of being fuller than i am when i eat now...if that makes any sense

maybe i'm strange in that i don't have a problem w/ non-raw or non-vegan/veggie people that i'm dating. the guy i've been w/ off and on for 3 years now is a total meat-eater, beer-drinker, and he even smokes on occassion (which i most definitely don't like but i don't nag, as it's his body, not mine). there's something kind of freeing about being w/ a guy who doesn't care about what he puts in
