Oh, I will have plenty of trouble going 100% raw, you see, I live in SE Texas. We are addicted to rice, potatoes, meat and gravy. For the years before I ate fast food - that was always on the table. I have bought at least 15, maybe more raw cookbooks, and I have listened to everything I can to make my transition easy - I really am about 50-60% raw now, with some days more. Salads are easy for me, but they don't "fill" me up. I was never a big fruit eater, but I have found several that I will eat routinely. I have started the green drinks and I find them easy to do, but I travel with my job and the smoothies aren't an option sometime. I like nuts and seeds, and will eat them, but not all the time. One of the problems I have is - I will say ok - tomorrow I go completely raw, I get everything ready to go and something occurs to throw me off, and I say just forget it I will do it next week. Then next week gets here and I will get a call to go to work before my scheduled time and that will throw me off. If I could just get into the swing of doing the raw thing before things go crazy I believe I could get a handle on it. Does this make sense? I know that life is never going to be easy and things will come our way that challenge us, but i just wish I could get into the raw living foods and then..... let things go crazy. I don't have a problem with change, in fact I thrive on change, but I guess when you are trying something new especially something that is going to throw your entire life into a tailspin everything seems to conspire against you. Thanks again for any suggestions and I'm trying to take some time to read other posts.
