My experience so far

[Guest guest]

I thought I would share my experience so far in trying to eat as much raw as I

can. I think I started a few weeks ago. I have been steadily eating healthier

and healthier for about 5 years now, with my intuition pushing me to go more raw

about a month ago. Note I said my intuition, not my mind or my emotions etc.

 

So I got online and joined groups to learn more and perhaps support the rest of

me in accepting this food shift (I LOVE cooked food). I began practicing as

much as I could handle, including eating fruit which I have never done in any

great quantities in my life (never really liked fruit). At the same time I have

cut out all the processed sweets (most of the time!!). And it is amazing the

immediate response my body and emotions give me.

 

First of all I am clear that at this time I am not going 100% raw. It just

doesn't feel right for me right now no matter what I read on here and other

groups. However, when I deviate from about 70-75% raw I have immediate symptoms

of dis-ease. And that began only 3 days after introducing more raw foods into

my life. I didn't expect it to happen that fast.

 

Also I had a strong emotional reaction a couple days ago and went crazy - eating

lots of processed foods. Some part of me just was furious that I wasn't eating

all my old 'comfort' and numbing stuff. I am not sure what triggered it exactly

but mostly it involved cheese/yogurt and some bread/chip cravings. Today seems

to be better and whatever enotional stuff was pushing at me seems to have

cleared. I know it wasn't body cravings because of the accompanying emotional

turmoil (the cause of the food shift, not the result). My body doesn't really

like a lot of processed foods. Cooked foods it can handle - if they are pretty

fresh and as hormone free as I can find (yes, I still eat some fish and some

turkey). So the fact that is what I turned to indicates to me a relapse into old

coping behavior. I have also experienced a great spurt of spiritual growth

during the past three weeks which I will not go into because it is WAY OT. And

I know part of me reacted to that big shift also.

 

Funny though the food didn't taste that good - the anticipation was far greater

than the actual satisfaction. And, of course, my body isn't all that happy

about it. But I did some emotional work to love myself through it all anyway and

today is much better.

 

So the journey and experimenting continues.

 

 

Walking this path laughingly one step at a time,
