Raw 144

Can I be completely honest? I don't know if the doctor's office scale is off but I weighed in at 154 about two weeks ago. My doctor asked me if I wanted to get the Lapband - not sure if I spelled that right. WOW! Is that all it takes? Was he just suggesting it because he wants the refferal money or am I just that fat?

Is this possible? Today I weighed in at 144, nearly two weeks after RAW. I'm not the Raw police. I just want to feel better. I cheat sometimes. I had ramen for lunch yesterday. I loose self control when I drink. Is drinking agaist RAW law?

Two weeks in, my eczema is almost all gone on my body but my face is still extremely dry, flakey, and tight. The ithching has subsided quite a bit but not completely gone.

I feel lighter and more energized. I am less sleepy during the day and sleep better at night. I have to find a way to eat more Omega 3 because my eyes are super dry.

I need to get more exercise.

I'm on a role today.

Raw

For the first time in my life I feel a tinge of hope. I have been eating 70% Raw for almost two weeks now. I feel the awesomeness creeping in. I feel, dare I say the word? No . . . It's too soon. Screw it! I feel G double O D GOOD!

I have been asked, "WTF? WHY?" about seventeen bagillion, million times. The answer is because my skin makes me want to crawl into a dark and deep hole in the earth, take some jumbo sized sandpaper and scratch it all off. Not to mention, I am 29 with super crazy high blood pressure. So high in fact, I need to take medication. This year alone I have been sick with the flu twice, stomach flu once and the constant allergies or colds and, . . . . And . . . I cannot breathe! I am sucking on my fucken inhalor like that kid from Goonies! Then there is the hypothyroidism I have been dealing with for more than a decade. I am so exhausted all the time, I am convinced I am suffering from narcolepsy. My body just aches and before now I had just accepted this as part of my life. But most importantly, I have this empty ache in my heart. I so deperately want to have a baby. I haven't been able to carry a pregnancy to term. We have been trying for almost 4 years now.

So, here I am. Not dieting but putting my foot down and deciding to take a different path, to worship my body and tell these "issues" to fuck off! Hopefully the rest will follow.
