Raw in 1389 Days!

Oh yesssss.  How would YOU like to be raw in 1389 days?  No? 1000 days?  No? Err, 478 days?  Still no?  30 days?  Wow!  Good luck with that.  You see lovely ladies and gentleman, today is approximately the 1389th day since I discovered raw foods.  Yay!  Am I a raw foodist now?  The honest answer is, I don’t know.  The truth is, I don’t need anyone to tell me whether I am or not.

It’s not a destination it’s a journey.

I’ve heard that sentence (and typed it in my book So You Want To Be A Raw Foodist?) more times than I’ve had hot dinners…hahaha little raw pun there for you…but the truth is maybe I have arrived.

Maybe I have reached my destination.  Maybe this is raw food for me.  Just perhaps, this is what an Emma Raw Foodist looks like?

I ‘get’ the whole raw food philosophy

I question some of the science behind it…even though I’m very much NOT a science whore

I’m open to what other people within and outwith the ‘movement’ say and do without letting it affect what I do (too much)

I eat raw foods as much as I choose to – not can, there are times when I can and I don’t…

I accept and am comfortable with how I eat

I feel healthy

I am healthy god damn it

I dig it.  I bloody dig the whole raw food thing.

So if this is my destination then I’m happier than a pig in shit.  If it isn’t, well then let’s see where the hell I’m off to next 🙂

What is the purpose of this blog post?

You’ll get to where you’re going when you get there.  You can’t be anywhere other than where you are right now so be happy about it.

There’s no point trying to be raw in a certain amount of time.  That’s not the way it works!

I’m also asking you to consider whether you are already ‘there’.  It’s an ongoing journey yes of course it is, but in the beginning I really thought something stupendous would happen to let me know I’d arrived…a sort of “now I am raw” moment.

The truth is I am there, I just didn’t realise it…
