Will celebrate when I am 1 month raw
I am such an idiot, did not count the days properly. But now I know... on Oct 20 I celebrate one month since I started the raw journey. Am soo excited. It's probably one of the few things (other than study LOL) that I've done *committedly* for one month. :)) And hopefully for many months to come... It's not difficult to be raw *at all* when you perfectly understand the damage done by cooked foods. That is not to say that I have not had my occasional slip, a soup (on the cooked side) here and there (but always vegetarian and if possible, packed with beans), when nothing else was available... but yes, overall I've been 90-95% raw.
I look at people around me and the older ones - just look real older. You can so easily guess people's ages. Hmm... sometimes I ask myself, why don't people want to stay young and beautiful for a longer period of time? If one sees their body decay, why don't they take some measures? Is it because the information is not avaialble? Is it because they don't believe that there are some solutions out there? Will I be like that, will I not care, and if so, why will I not care? Will it not be important to look good, and feel good? Will I feel good anyway because I have a family, etc.? I don't have an answer to any of these questions.
If one were sitting next to Demi Moore, would they be able to instantaneously guess her age? To someone unfamiliar with her, would a picture of her and her currect bf look odd? It's not that she eats raw or anything. And it's not the money either... how much can esthetic surgery repair? If one is severely damaged, nothing will work (Example: Courtney Love). I just think she takes care of herself. That's admirable in itself... Wish I had the will power to live a very healthy (preferably) raw lifestyle so that at 45 and 50 I am proud of how I look. And my children too tell me that they have a beautiful mommy. LOL :)
Now.... Two things I have to work on: [1] giving up cigarettes, and [2] giving up coffee. The former will be achieved only if I fast for 7-10days at least. The latter will be achieved only with a divine intervention... But that's not what one would call positive thinking...
