I am really really struggling. I've lost my desire to eat raw foods and am trying to keep going just on sheer will power. Right now, eating all but one meal raw seems to be working best. I want so much to succeed at this. Yesterday for dinner I had spaghetti casserole (not raw).
Today:
Breakfast: 1 quart green smoothie (mint leaves from my garden, mixed fruit)
Lunch: egg salad sandwich (not raw)
Dinner: yogurt
I really don't know what to do. I have considered backing up my amount of raw and then gently easing into a higher raw diet, so that I don't do a quick crash and burn. On the other hand, maybe what I need is just to push through this phase going 100% raw and then I'll overcome these huge cravings. I think it would be a lot easier if I wasn't cooking yummy looking foods for my family every day. Any thoughts?

Oh Dawn, I'm sorry! For what it's worth I never would have made it as far as you did! I guess you just have to decide why you're doing this and how much you can live with. I would think that having 2/3 of the meals raw would be very beneficial. Only you know if you can work through this or not. But having to cook for the family WOULD make it all the harder!
Prayign!!!!!!!
I would think it would be tough to eat totally raw when you have to fix cooked things for the family! I feel for you! Not much help, I know.
In my mind, I would shoot for as much raw as possible and not beat myself up over a cooked meal once a day! If you can do 2 raw and 1 cook, I think you will still reap great benefits. But like Lynn said, you'll have to decide for yourself what you are willing to do.
