Well, it's day 11. I am adjusting better but I'm just finding myself not hungry for a few hours, at times I think I am supposed to be eating.
I've lost about 7lbs so far. All the diet books say don't lose weight too fast.
My big crisis day also tied in to the start of my monthly hormonal shift. I don't call it pms because I never get crabby. I just neglected to take into account my body isn't static.
My theory so far is that the occasional mental discomfort is coming from me having to adjust to how I see food. In other words, food is no longer recreation, social bonding, a tranquilizer, or a sugar rush. I never realized so much was tied into the simple act of eating.
I am also noticing other peoples' reaction when they see me eating only healthy food. Some try to connect by talking about someone they knew who went raw. Some don't understand. My mother said "that's great" and proceeded to make me *cooked* applesauce. (She means well, bless her!)
I still hate water. I know coffee and tea aren't "raw", but I've got to drink something. I dilute them and add lemon. I am coming from a diet where I used to drink nothing but soda all day, everday, and so this is a big change.
I keep looking at juicers online, but I've yet to order one. I am not sure I'd drink the juice. Fruit smoothies in the blender didn't do much for me.
Overall, I'm hanging in there and it's getting easier.
