Ideas?

[Guest guest]

Hi.

My name is Tania and I am a cooked food addict. I have been trying to be 100%

raw for almost 6 months, with about 90% success (some days more than others of

course). I do notice a difference and would like to get to the next level.

However, my lifestyle makes it especially difficult: I am a musician on tour

about 10 months out of the year. I eat at restaurants usually about 2 times a

day, and though I travel with avocadoes and oils, vinegars, limes, fruits, etc.

, I often find myself cheating just a bit because it " makes life simpler " than

making a big fuss at a restaurant ( & also because I am very much addicted to

cooked food). My bandmates seem almost adamantly opposed to eating at raw

restaurants (they don't think they'll find anything they'll like, they worry

they won't be full and that they will spend too much money), and to be honest, I

don't have a lot of extra money at this point either. Ultimately, though, it

seems that my biggest deterrent is my lack of routine. I

have a sporadic yoga practice that I would really like to develop into a daily

routine, I've read probably about 10 books on raw food (including 12 steps to

raw food & the sunfood diet success system), I'm on various mailing lists

through email, I fill my life with raw food information... I really want to

succeed at this, but I feel very isolated.

A lot of the suggestions I read just aren't applicable for my lifestyle. I

almost feel like until we get a tour bus (which could be as little as 9 months

away) and fill it with tools (blender, food processor, dehydrator, fridge, etc.)

that I just will not be able to conquer that last 10%.

I would appreciate any thoughts you have on this dilema I'm having.

Thank you for your time

Tania
