Since last writing my Blog, which is a very long while ago, much change has taken place in our urban city life & like everything has come to pass thankfully into a settled state.
Within the turbulence I have to own up to having fallen off, or stepped away from the 'Raw experience eating lifestyle'. The first thing that happened was Coco & I went to Italy on a summer vacation with another yummy mummy & her kiddies, with all the greatest intentions of remaining 'Raw' .... eating plump ripe red tomatoes fresh basil drizzled with cold pressed olive oil, tomatoes & more tomatoes was nice..... but not as nice as the morning pastries & coffee in the village square. The rest of the day was manageable, but toward the end of the holiday I was dipping into Cocos Pizza, Pasta & after dinner Gellate.... yes it all went to pot ...... & I have since not had the conviction to return to raw eating.....
So why? Raw felt so good & I benefited in many ways for example 'Raw eating' maintained a light & lean, comfortable body that I liked, I felt nimble, energized, & I experienced noticeable things like no plaque on my teeth, my periods were a bright blood red color all through the bleeding, no bloating or so called pre-menstrual syndrome's, my emotions felt clear & I was more aware of detail & appreciative of subtle experience.
Now that I am no longer 'Raw' I feel there is always a slight bloatedness, when I awake in the morning my eyes are puffy & there is a plaque covering teeth my mouth even with oral hygine aareness, I am a little heavier not as toned as I was & my digestion is not as easily released as during a 'Raw diet.'
Looking at that there are far more benefits being Raw so why am I not convinced enough to return?
The red light with the raw is it tends toward a kind of cooked-arex-sick tendency of becoming repealed by cooked food & even people that eat cooked food, it starts to look like people are shoveling in mounds of mush that makes people heavy gassy & doped out & even smell from a cellular level. To defend raw I do think its true, we are as a society addicted to too much food & our body can not cope, we there-fore create dis-ease & the body does not function optimally, or at least as well as it can on less food.

Eating Raw we are more energetic light & sensitive to our environment appreciative to the subtleties of life.
Well each day starts with good intentions, especially a Monday & as today is a Monday I am especially in a frustrated place so I have come back to this blog to iron out the differences within myself, to share the cross road place I am at & because I know we all to often find ourselves in times of a this nature.

In a world where we do have the choice to eat what we want, when we want & as much as we want, which seems crazy when you think of half the world not even having food to eat, but that gets into a whole other area I am not going there today.
Wright now I want to return to a harmonious path of eating good whole food & because at the moment I am wavering between Raw or not Raw & thus creating confusion & conflict within myself, a kind of panic of I want to try everything before I return to hard core Raw. Yes! I agree a totally non-productive space & not a positive state to get the kind of results I actually want & a very out of balance way of being. Balance being my mantra for living a life calm & content.
A good place to start is, What do I actually want?
Which can start with a what do I not want?
I do not want to start another week on a good foot & end it by defying all. So as a honest human experiment I know the problem lies in the in-balance of such an extreme way of eating, I say extreme because it is a committed diet that one has to be very dedicated to making it happen & keeping it happening carrying food when out & about, shopping in certain shops, a kind of 'being special' kind of existence, I guess (another area for another day).....The thing is people every where all over the world eat cooked food & where ever one goes food is cooked & so eating at home is best which is restricting if one likes to travel & cuts out allot of socializing. Looking for other ways to go out celebrate & meet people, which I have to say can be a little dull & alienating but is do-able & one becomes very inventive.
Having now re-tasted the foods I missed & that the Raw food inhibited me from eating I can say that some foods taste great & allot taste average. Some foods I now know to totally & happily avoid & some foods I simply really like / enjoy in my life & I am OK with, like my one cup of coffee in the morning completely toxic but completely appreciated & enjoyed.
I have noticed my digestion is effected by some cooked foods, what one would normally consider a very healthy food may not be so great on the digestive system of an individual & I know from the experience of IBS for 10 years that one becomes very accustomed to feeling uncomfortable & believing the symptoms to be normal bodily functioned for example to have a bloated digestive system/tummy/wind. It is simply a matter of getting over the association that something is supposed to be very good for you may not be working for your body as well as the marketing celebrations says or your grandmother told you & that is a matter of personal experimentation.
I want to maintain an 80% Raw 20% cooked which allows the weekends & socializing celebrations, my cup of coffee for now, & balance. I think it is important to note that there is allot of other stuff going on for me in my life internally wright now a transition of a kind & that I am filling up a fear feeling with food/s. So what action can I take & apply? Obviously I deal with the underlying emotions. Cleansing is always a positive action when one is in such a place to get calmness & clarity & allow the situation to present & birth.
For now 'Watch This Space' & Thank you for the start of a Great, Productive & Constructively Creative week!
