So many people have asked how I will choose to eat once my 30 days of eating raw have been completed. I certainly hope I don't disappoint too many out there, but one thing I do know . . . I won't remain a vegan. Although I know how good raw foods are for you, I am longing for a hot cooked meal. Nothing sounds better to me than a roasted vegetable or a broiled piece of chicken or fish at this point. One thing is for sure, I will continue to make vegetable/fruit smoothies. Those, I have grown to enjoy. Also, I will continue to have some fantastic vegetable/fruit salads with some chicken thrown in now and then. Currently, I feel as though I have kicked the sugar habit. Sweets are not calling me at this point. I feel void of all my sweet cravings which is quite dramatic. However, I will not fall into a trap and say that I will never have another dessert. Although I don't intend on trying to make myself learn how to enjoy sugary treats again, now and then, I may indulge. Who knows? I do know that I cannot go back to my old ways of eating. I'll need to keep my simple carbs in check and focus on eating more complex carbohydrates in order to remain off all future medications and ward off any future stomach issues. In short, before eating, having a short, but firm, conversation with myself may just do the trick. I'll need to ask myself if what I'm about to eat will benefit me in the long run and/or short run.
Lesson 999: Be good to yourself, make wise, healthy choices, and enjoy life . . . because as we all know too well, life's far too short!
