I decided after gorging myself on tropical trail mix at midnight, that I would be mostly raw today...
I felt horrible this morning and I had no appetite. (I wonder why?)
I have not thought of food all day, until NOW!
But what to eat? Goulash, or a salad and some fruit???
I have to start somewhere, and I cannot just keep saying I am going to go raw and then not, right?
Except....
I think I am starving........
I have barely started.....
I ate a cup of cream of wheat for breakfast, and a half of an apple and a semi green banana for lunch....
I am dying.....
Images of deep fried anythings are plagueing my thoughts....
Baked potatoes are dancing in my dreams
Goulash and Pizza are battling to the death to be on my plate, I am enraptured to see who wins!!!!

I give you an original poem by me:
Rice dream is wooing me
Nutritional yeast whispers my name
Lasagna is beckoning me
Bread is fanning the flame!!!!
Pancakes are approaching me, with top hats on their heads,
Fried rice is taunting me, riding broccoli sleds
Meatloaf and gravy, merrily wave hello
Taco and burrito are mocking me, I wish I had some vegan jello
Oh, the pain and suffering of all that I've been through, if this is only day one raw, can you imagine day two?????

bad bread, bad!
i just slowly phase things out now. it took a lot to learn how to do that you know? im not raw, but wiht other things like white rice pasta and bread, i just now have them once or twice a week if that, i replaced it wih other things i like even better now. just do it slowly, and give yourself a break!! you are trying and it shouldnt be a trial, getting healthier is a beautiful thing
heheh sappy:)
You are very funny today. LOL! Good luck with your attempt to eat more raw. It took me a while too and I settled on about 60% raw as being right for us. We hope to eat more raw as the weather warms.

No wonder you are hungry!!! You haven't eaten NEARLY enough!!! :)
I just started going raw - i'm on day 4! I love not having to think about how many calories I am eating!! I have already lost a couple of kilos! The kids are still eating cooked food which is totally fine by me.
Just do what you can :) Maybe you are not ready yet if you can't stop thinking about other food? Just a thought.

Love the poem! And congrats on starting your raw journey, however long it lasts! I've got some good raw recipes on my blog--have you tried the classic raw kale and avocado salad? A huge favorite of mine (and even of my carnivorous hubby). Smoothies are always good, too! :)
I've been a part-time (and sometimes full time) raw foodist for the past six years, and I can totally relate to that feeling of suddenly obsessing about the food you chose not to have. :)
I was so tired when I wrote the poem, I literally almost wet my pants from laughing so hard...tears running down the face kind of laughing....lol
I am about 50%ish raw. I eat more normally, but I just wasn't hungry until it hit, then I was ravenous!!!lol
It was fun none the least!
What a cute poem! Food is ever so tempting, isn't it. Best of luck with the raw food. It's not always easy but you end up feeling so great!
