When you are making a change to the raw food diet, you may find out a couple things about yourself. I know for me as I embarked on this journey I finally realized that I had a food addiction. later in my journey I started to have points where I would binge on food as if there were no tomorrow. This binging was much worse then I had ever seen even when I was eating 100% cooked food.
For a while I was quite alarmed that my problem somehow became worse. I thought something isn’t right. I want to eat raw but I am constantly binging on cooked as if there is no tomorrow. I think most of us want a quick change and we want instant results. We want it to happen right now in this moment. Changing over the raw food lifestyle or a high raw diet is a journey. The problem with us is we want change right now but sometimes it does take time and while it does take time some of us are not willing to wait.
After years of eating raw what I didn’t realize is that I was changing little by little and sometimes the change was so small I didn’t even notice it. But because I stuck with it and kept going I finally reached a point in my journey where I could really see that I was changing and that all of the binging and other things I was going through was just a phase.
If you find that you are acting out in a way that just doesn’t seem normal to you like binging, don’t give up. Remember what your goal is and keep fighting for it! I am not saying I give you permission to overeat; of course I am not doing that. I wanted to share this with you because so many people want a quick and fast change and don’t realize that most of us spent probably 20+ years developing the eating habits we have today. Give yourself time to change and grow, you can reach your ultimate goal, but the only way to do this is by Never giving up!! As long as you do not give up, you will reach your goals.
