Your right, I am just so anxious to not eat all the bad stuff, that I chastise myself if I eat anything bad. In fact I'm eating healthier than I ever have in my life. I do eat fruit and I never did that before, I do go without meat sometimes, and I rarely and I mean rarely eat at fast food restaurants anymore. I've added wheatgrass, lots of salads plus the green drinks, and I eat lots more fresh vegetables. I'm growing my own herbs now. So yea, I'm doing a lot better than I was. In reading all about people who have been raw for years I'm anxious to feel the way they claim they feel and it's not that I feel bad, cause I'm rarely sick, but I don't have as much energy as I would like to have. Of course the weight is an issue.
My husband and his family are Cajun - so I know all about their cuisine. Gumbo, fried shrimp, fried oysters, fried frog legs, fried chicken The only vegetables they eat are onion, green pepper and tomatoes. They are all at least 100 pounds overweight. During the hurricane they were all eating stuff out of the cans that FEMA provided to us, drinking tons of cokes and I went to a health food store while in dallas and picked up some vegetables and fruit and raw tahini and raw almond butter and thats what I ate - my sister-in-law said to me, You sure do eat strange". They all have high blood pressure, and some of them are younger than me. I don't even try to tell them anymore they are slowly killing themselves, because they can't see it. So yes I am going to just add in what I can and go with that. Thanks so much for the inspiration greenbunny, btw where in texas are you?
