Last night and most of yesterday actually, I was having the most severe food cravings imaginable. i felt like a junkie coming down off of heroin. My body was almost shaking, I had a severe headache, I couldn't sleep. Thoughts of Taco Bell ran through my mind over and over again. I almost said "screw this" If eating healthy was going to feel like that, i was going to take my chances and eat what I was craving. I decided to go against all I was thinking and feeling and try to sleep it off. When I did eventually fall asleep ( I tossed and turned in bed for about 4 hours) I awoke to a much more severe headache than I had the night before. My cravings, however, were gone. I took some Advil because the pain was unbearable and then I just rested most of the day with my 7 month old, my headache eventually went away and I now have no food cravings. At all. I don't even really feel like eating. Today I have had a glass of apple juice, half of a Go Raw banana flax bar, half of an orange and a banana. I am not feeling hungry at all.
We'll see what happens at work tonight. Hopefully the cravings won't come back.
I am proud of myself. The old me would have stopped and got fast food at 1 am because I just couldn't handle it anymore.
I don't know if raw will be my lifestyle, but at least I know that when I need to do it, I can. I will still keep going, but I think I am going to read more, educate myself in health tons more and then work with a nutritional diet that will fit me and keep me on a healthy path.
I'm thinking a fast of raw one week a month might be a good start. Any suggestions?
