Day 20 - No more Zoloft
I didn't know this site had so many cool features (this goes for GITMR too). I'm excited to be making new friends. You are all beautiful and inspiring! I'd say I'm medium-raw.. which is probably about 50% - I'm doing the best I can and I'm happy about it. I have good news too.. I stopped taking Zoloft.. I quit cold turkey. It's not the best feeling, because I can't move too fast, as it feels like I'm going to fall over. They are called "brain zaps".. I know that b…

Some of you aren't members of that site, so if you want to read my blog I decided to update every few days with what I've been writing. Thanks for your love and support!
Day 3 - Self Degrading..
Today I didn't want to get out of bed. I got up a few times and jumped right back in underneath the covers where it is nice and warm and comforting. I just kept lying there thinking that time is not on my side. Either that or I'm not on time's side la…

I started eating dairy again in May and I realized that my pms symptoms were a little bit worse than the five months I had been completely vegan. Still I only ate a little dairy every once in a while at that point, but for the past few weeks I have been eating dairy almost everyday due to my lack of financial ability to buy necessary protein replacements. Now I am experiencing super HORRIBLE pms symptoms, mostly emotional. There has gotta be a correlation between the hormones in dairy and the th…

Lately it has been a challenge to get back on the wagon, after my birthday weekend. I enjoyed my bday weekend from the 10th - the 13th, but haven't been able to get back on track. I haven't been raw, but I have stuck to mostly vegan. However, the past few days being back at my parents house I have been eating dairy again and it doesn't make me feel great. My dad is in the hospital due to heart problems and so far he's ok, but tomorrow he is having a procedure of some sort to make sure his arteri…

Wow, I didn't realize it has been since Tuesday that I blogged. Well I have been doing great on my new lifestyle habits. I haven't been completely raw, because it's just not efficient for me right now. However, I have been eating mostly raw and I plan to do every couple of days all raw. Definitely vegan, because it just makes me feel the best. I have been doing a lot of exercise lately. My clothes are falling off of me and I have so much more energy.
I didn't do anything on the 4th of July, exc…

Today I went for a walk around the neighborhood with my cousin K'von. We went to the park for a minute, but were bored and I jumped in the community pool with all my clothes on, so when we walked home I had a nice breeze and felt great!! It was like 100 out today, so that was an awesome feeling.. I love being the thrill seeker that I am!
It's already almost 5pm and I haven't even had 600 calories yet. Today I just don't have much of an appetite. I guess i'm greatful for that, but it's so hot an…

Yesterday I stopped by a local market and they had a bag of oranges for $1. I was excited about that!! So today I squeezed them by hand and drank the fresh juice. It was so great! So far I am feeling great, but I have cramps which makes me very uncomfortable. I'm going to have to do some research on the best possible raw remedies for that. If anyone is reading that has any advice, I would appreciate it. :)
Update: 7:23pm....
I have been experiencing some serious emotions today. I've eaten most…

So after yesterday's long walk and motivating day of nutrition, I decided to look on youtube.com for some raw food videos, because there are tons of them. I came across this handsome young man who lost 200 pounds on the raw foods diet. It became a lifestyle for him and he has a set of videos, 13 to be exact that are nothing less than invaluable and brilliant. They are just raw and uncut, of him going through his journey. You literally get to watch him melt before your eyes. It really insired me…
