Well, I kind of ended my raw food cleanse yesterday with Brick Oven Pizza (I was going to have to have to anyway for this trip in 2 days). I wasn't finding it difficult at all to continue, but it was one of those situations when a friend wanted to go to lunch. I really want to be able to do that, eat raw a lot of the time but be able to eat "normal" food once in a while in social situations but go right back to raw, which I did for breakfast and dinner. I ate an appropriate amount at Brick oven. Then tonight at a B-day party I ate an insane amount of brownies. I would call the amount borderline binging, but mentally I didn't feel like I was binging because my stomach didn't feel too full or sickly till later. One thing I don't do however is beat myself up for eating "bad." I used to do that and it created a very bad cycle. Now, if I eat something that makes me feel yucky I stop and observe how I feel and take the time to mentally associate the feeling with the food so that in the future I can look at that food and decide if it is really worth that yucky feeling. The fact that I proabably ate around 1000 calories in one sitting. Well I really don't care, I don't count calories, that never got really got me anywhere except guilty, stressed out, obsessive eating. I will probably try to do a longer more-intense cleanse when I get back, maybe a juice fast and that bentonite clease I wanted to try.
