Food is such a huge part of nearly everyone's life.
And when you go raw, it just becomes so blatantly obvious
because it stands out so much from the crowd.
When starting out, its easy to get VERY preoccupied
with recipes and learning everything about
WHY we are all eating living food instead of dead food.
Early on for me...I really attached my identity
with the fact that I was RAW.
I think it was some kind of ego trip...
I just had to attach my "self" with this
new thing in my life...which was raw food.
It was so life-changing for me, and I felt
so different...inside and out, that I couldnt
help but let it take over my life.
Thankfully though, I learned to let it go.
My diet and lifestyle became even more clean,
but it wasnt a big deal at all anymore.
I could again hang out with my friends that were
eating traditional foods and not judge them
or be tempted. I could focus on projects and other aspects
of my life instead of what I was going to make next.
We have to realize that we are not HOW we eat.
It is not who we are.
Sure..the food we eat does build our future cells,
but it shouldnt be the cornerstone of how we identify ourselves.
Getting past that roadblock but still staying raw is when
you enter the true comfort zone...where you just cruise
your way to optimal and super-vibrant health.
Remember your old hobbies...what were they again?
Books, movies, chatting with old friends..writing.
Maybe journaling would be a good thing.
Maybe no one else is going through this,
but I know that I sure did. RAW was who I was.
When you are the only one you know doing something,
I suppose its easier to identify yourself by that trait.
We are MORE...MUCH MORE than what we eat.
We are divine spirits occupying a temporary human parking space...
(or at least I'd like to believe that's the case...)
Let us be free from all cages...gender, race, age, AND eating habits.
ALL ONE, ALL WAYS.
