wow, that was a very thorough response. yeah, i'm still completely raw and everything you've just said directly correlates to what's happened within the past week. in the beginning of the week i couldn't eat a lot at once and would do the grazing thing. but gradually as the week went on i was eating more at one time and not eating so often. now i usually eat about 4 times a day and i might snack a bit, but i try not to because i know my stomach is digesting food and i need to give it a rest.
i usually only snack if i'm craving some kind of cooked food. which was happening a bit the past few days. i've heard that's a sign your body is getting rid of that type of cooked food. i'm pretty sure that's what was happening because i'm not getting those strong cravings i was about day or two ago. even when i get the cravings though i don't ever want to eat the actual food i'm craving i just automatically go to something raw that will satisfy me because i've really been trying to educate myself on how bad the ingredients in processed foods are and what they do to your body and how bad heating your food at high heats is. i was actually amazed with myself the other day when my dad offered me a chocolate bar and i instantly said no, thanks. whereas before i would have given it a moments thought and then said no. but, nope, i automatically said no. yay! so exciting!
i'm having a problem with getting enough water though. i'm always feeling dehydrated so i'll try to drink a glass or two of water before i eat a meal but then i just have to pee a lot. so i don't know what's going on there. i really need to figure out a way to keep hydrated though cause i'm getting headaches and my mouth is dry a lot. i can also tell i'm dehydrated because sometimes when i wake up in the morning i have sheet wrinkles on my arms and face and that only happens when i'm dehydrated.
oh a note about the mucous. my nose is runny a lot so that's a clear indication i'm getting rid of some. yay for that too.
thanks for the explanations and encouragement. these are the types of things that keep me going. also wishing you the best of luck on your journey. keep it natural and happy, peace.
