I am noticing with interest though, that my food desires are slowly evolving. Hello Lane and everyone, thanks for the identification again Lane - I always get that from you. I have the will-power of a slug (maybe slugs have loads of will power- sorry LOL!!) - when I am at home I eat raw - I enjoy raw - but this transitional period is hard at times - but then I think that common sense tells me it will be - I have eaten cooked foods for 60 years (61 tomorrow!) so like you I am changing bit by bit. I did 30 days at first but then reality kicked in and now I just go with it with the thought that I am eating a healthier diet than I ever had in my life. I am willing to change as I go on - but I have to keep it in perspective as I was giving myself a hard time if ever I ate something cooked and I would feel very " down " - I cant afford to live like that - I have to take on board my humanity and let myself be. I feel very healthy - I look good - my body shape is youthful again and no medication - that is in 2.5 months so - I am learning about my body and how much I need to eat to not have cravings. I know what hunger feels like - I would often confuse it with thirst - I have changed my whole philosophy about my body and how it can take care of itself and doesn't need all those prescribed drugs to heal it - I haven't had hardly 1 headache since I started this and they were my constant unwanted companions. I had an e-mail conversation with Elchanan and he said about ringing a restaurant to arrange a huge salad when going out for an arranged meal - I realised afterwards that I don't have the willingness to do that yet - something I am working towards and I want to be 100% raw but I can only go as quick as I can go and sometimes I look forward to cooked foods and I have to make sure I read plenty of good raw materials so I done forget why I am doing this in the first place - I think I am doing wonderfully - I am proud of myself as this is such a big thing to do. Such a change in my life as I loved to cook - I am a good cook and part of me " mourns " for that part of my life too with people coming for meals as I cant handle it at present - we have moved away from huge " set " salads for the two of us now - sometimes we have them but I like to mono-eat really - so different from all that I have known before - but good!
