Yesterday I read an article that was mentioned on welikeitraw.com that I found interesting. A raw food chef talked about how eating non-raw foods on occasion has been challenging. I have noticed that there are raw foodists who don't like it when prominent raw foodists openly discuss mixing cooked foods into their diet.  I feel that my raw odyssey is more for my health than anything.  I want to remain as raw as possible so that I can continue quickly towards my weight loss goal, but after I reach it I'm not sure that I'll strive to eat the same high percentage of raw foods I eat now.   For example, I really love sushi and miss it.   The way I plan to make my food decisions won't be on "what a raw foodist should eat" but on "what Allison should eat".  Any way of eating that feels restrictive can lead  a person to "cheat," (and I've been there before!) so it's  important to me to know that I'm eating a certain way for me rather than to fit into someone else's conception of what I should eat.

I snuck a peek at the scale and I've lost only about 1/2 lb.  It's like my body knows I have this huge milestone coming up and is going to delay it as long as possible!  Just a two pound loss this week would be enough to reach that mileston.  If it doesn't happen, though, I'll get over it.  It's gonna happen eventually, so I'm not very worried!
