It's amazing how quick I can go back to my old habits as if nothing happened. Like today, just eating cooked stuff, coffee and biscuits after breakfast, baked cinnamon buns for a friends birthday and ended up eating 5 of them! And they're quite big... Whatever. I realise I need to take things slower, I won't be able to change my way of eating in one months time, I've had food issues for too long. I think it's better if I tell myself that the rest of this year will be spent on trying to cut out w… Continue

I was doing well but then I got too tempted last night when I got invited over by a friend to have some wine, cheese and crackers.

Have decided to go to yoga class at 7am. Let's see if I still think it's a good idea when the alarm goes off...

Here I am again trying to give raw foods a try... It's still 2008 and I did promise myself to change my eating habits, stop comfort eating, lose weight, get fit etc etc. Things didn't go as planned. My life has been messy and I haven't been the happiest. But I still have time to change things before this year is over. From tomorrow on I'm trying the Raw Divas 7 day detox. Will see how it goes.
