After trying to stick with raw food lifestyle for over a year now, ive not found it very easy, so have been swaying in and out of the raw food world, I seem to be able to go with for two or three weeks, then the normal processed foods keep sneaking back in... I find it quite hard to resist a Pizza & a glass of wine or 3!!
This time though, I feel something has changed inside me, Im now a vegetarian and have no desire whatsoever to eat any kind of meat. I didn't eat that much meat before, but now I am really happy & proud to be able to say 'I am a vegetarian! The two stumbling blocks that keep tripping me up were smoked bacon butties at the weekends, and Mexican Fajita's . It got much easier when the bacon I was cooking was not looking like a 'nice piece of meat' anymore, it started to look like a slice of dead pig, I guess that meant the time was right to not eat them anymore. The fajita's were quite easy to give up as we didnt eat them that often even though they were my favourites, I did have a niggling issue in the back of my mind, because we both love going to Chiquito's Mexican restaurant, I didnt know what I would eat, because I loved the fajita flavour so much!!
I eat my last chicken fajita in The Hard Rock cafe in New Yorks Time Square in May 2011..... what a fab place to end my days of eating meat!!! I didnt plan it to be my last meat meal, It just worked out that way.
Last week we went to Chiquito's and I ordered the Roast Vegetable Fajita..... wow, how nice was that, I cant believe it took me so long to try the veggie option, it was the nicest meal out I had had in a long time.
On August 5th it will be 3 months since I eat any meat, I have no intention of ever eating another animal again. I feel sort of 'clean' inside, in a way that I cant explain.
So here I am, making another attempt at the Raw Lifestyle, starting with a 7 day detox.
From this moment ( when the last sip of wine has gone from my glass lol) I will be fasting for 24 hours, with just glasses of water, to kick start my system into detox.
It has been sparked off by reading Donna Edens Energy Medicine book, and realising just how much of my energy pathways must be bunged up. Lymph glands under my arms are swollen, indicating that they are full of toxins trying to escape.... so this is my first step to clearing those, along with lots of EFT tapping and meridian clearing, dawn walks and lots and lots of water!
I hope you will follow my blog through this with me, It can be a very emotional time with lots of support required!
I will be posting daily updates of how I am feeling, and what changes I am noticing.
Right now I am very enthusiastic and looking forward to shedding some toxins that I needlessly carry around with me.
My next meal will be in 24 hours (7.30pm GMT) and it will be..... A whole Melon!!
See you tomorrow for updates.....
Bye for now :)
