Day 2

Woke up feeling dreadful, so tired and a lot of my stress symptoms were present.  I was experiencing cystitis and my eczema was inflamed and itchy.  I assume I am going through some sort of healing crisis, well I hope so.  Today I have done 90% raw and 10% cooked, in the form of cheese.  I though it would be a good idea to take time in the transition however i feel that I am ready to go the whole way as I felt like by not being 100% raw at this early stage took away the magical element of it all.

So I have decided to give all my cooked/to be cooked food away.  This way I know from this point on, I AM RAW!!!!

Day 1

So there are two ways of doing this.  Jump in with both feet or slow transition.  Ive decided a bit of both, if you can do that.  I will start by eating 90% raw and 10% the rest of the food I have to eat up in the fridge (for the first week).  Having said that, due to my excitement I ate 100% raw and loved it!  It would be nice to think that every day was going to be easy as this.

The beginning

So its Friday night and instead of engaging with the world and living my life to full potential, I am feeling like shit at the end of a busy week, exhausted!  This is how I have been feeling for a long time now, so its normal.  Usually cigarettes, alcohol and help me to achieve a fake high which would help me deal with these symptoms.  And let's face it, society certainly reinforces this pattern.  I am a perfect example of a sheep, not questioning how i felt, not respecting my body, not believing in my bodies ability or intelligence just numbing myself adequately to start another day!

The thing is, I actually know what I should be doing.  I am a chiropractor and I have studied health a nutrition all the way from the food we eat its quantum implications.  After many half hearted attempts to transform my life, I would find myself bailing out early on due to limitations i had.

Im sick and tired of being limited.  This raw food lifestyle is going to change my life, whatever it it takes, I'm ready.  Ive never being at this point.  Before it was too important to eat steak as that was 'me', before i needed to go out and get drunk to numb myself in order to feel free.  Ive looked at all the issues which stopped me from making this step and realised something wonderful.

The truth is I don't know who I am.  Without my conditioning from my parents and society, I have not got a clue what I am like?  I realised it was my conditioning that stopped me from making this choice.  Ive often being considered to be weird, crazy or off the wall when I have tried similar life changes in the past, and part of me always agreed.  This time I understand that their opinions are based on dogma and there are also just as conditioned as I am.  There is no stopping me now.

This is more about a change in diet.  This is about a journey to be the person far and way beyond our wildest dreams.
