I couldn't choke my salad down. It tasted absolutely disgusting - the same salad I've made lots and lots of times and loved. I can't judge myself or get discouraged. I just have to remember this is temporary, like I've hit my head and it's affected my olfactory nerve. I'll just push through it, and in a few days really raw food will start tasting better.
This made me want to look up some great articles I'd read in the past. They're about rats and addiction studies focused on sugar and high fat foods:

It's also made me think about the real me I believe lies beneath the layers of toxins in my system. It's like Sheri's Greatest Hits. I just like the person I am a lot more when I've been eating raw food a while. I feel more peaceful and loving towards others, even strangers. I feel more connected to people and nature. I feel more positive and hopeful. There's a lighter sensation. I don't need as much sleep. I think more clearly. I don't get depressed or moody. I feel like I'm on an even keel all the time. I dare say I'm possibly even more creative. At least I feel like creativity flows more freely through me. I handle stressful situations better. I don't feel overwhelmed nearly as much. I have more clarity, think more clearly and quickly. I can only assume it just gets better and better, having only experienced two months of this during my longest stretch.
People like Dave the Raw Food Trucker and Dr. Ali really inspire me to take it so much further. The experiences they've described, especially Dave feeling his heart chakra turning towards people and events... it just fascinates me. I have to admit both their stories of eliminating mucoid plaque from their systems are pretty amazing too. Ah, nothing like a good mucoid plaque story to kick off your day, eh?
