Not feeling guilty over the food struggles

Yes, today I had some kettle potato chips. No they are Not apart of my raw and or healthy snacks regime. Guilt...I used to really beat myself up whenever I peeked out of the health window, but now...I realize that I'm doing the best that I can right now. Later I will do the best I that I can then. I'm still learning to apply the practice of living in the moment and dwelling on the past or future is useless.

I will become about 80% raw for Life, and the rest...some cooked, occasional treat, that's what feels right for me. I don't compare myself with others and their diets because that journey belongs to them...We're all individuals and that's a good thing.

I feel great about where I am right now, and it shows I've come a long way baby!!

My transition to raw vegan

OK, I just love being raw about 60- 70% right now. As a person w/multiple food allergies, raw foods has rescued me from a diet of well, very little. Going raw has eliminated my gastritis and regulated my blood sugars, and I'm not 100%...yet.!

My quest to become a vegan seemed to be a natural progression along with raw, however, I haven't been as successful as of late. I'm having a really hard time giving up chicken and fish. Why go vegan? Because intuitively it's what my body is telling me is best for me. Due to my food allergies, I am unable to embrace the alternative meat substitutes and that leaves me...jumping back and forth between meat and no meat.

This too is all apart of my journey that sends me up and down the many paths to be traveled.
