My green drink today is with mixed greens, sprouts, mango, water, pear and banana and it is really good. I think it is important to have a green drink every day. It is such an easy way of getting a lot of greens. I had a little breakdown last night after weighing myself once again at the gym. My weight has been stuck and i am getting very frusterated. I started to think that maybe I should change my diet to simple, low fat foods- like sweet potatoes and steamed veggies, oatmeal, etc... But then that just didn't sit well with me, I felt so cornered, like I did not know what to do. I beleive so strongly in this lifestyle that I do not want to stop but at the same time I need to loose weight- 15 pounds!! I think the bottom line is that I have to be careful of the quantity of food, and of fat that I take in whether I am raw or not. So I am still determined to stay on track with this and to focus on all the other reasons why it is important (health, anti- aging,...). Before I stepped on the scale, I felt high as I felt so good from all the foods I had been eating- I have been so happy and optomistic, my perspective on everything has improved dramatically- that is what is important, not the scale. I do not want to eat cooked foods, lose the weight but feel horrible and negative. I have to constantly remind myself why I am living this lifestyle.
