After having three children, I have jumped into the world of raw food while dabbling in some vegan and strict-pescetarian dishes. These are my stories about every day battles of motherhood, food, and myself.

Hiatus



Three Kids and Fridge Full of Veggies,

It has been about 4 months? It's been a while... As with many drastic lifestyle changes, I had hit a wall. I gave up, I lost my motivation, I lost the raw food luster. Yet, here I am. Why? Something must have been knocking on my back door: Feeling overweight, tired, unhappy, and most of all guilty/ashamed of the food I was putting into my body. It wasn't the path that I had set out on, I had lost my way and I felt it was because I wasn't strong enough. Yet, here I am because something in my mind has been telling me that maybe I AM strong enough, maybe this is something that I CAN'T give up on.

I know what kind of foods make me feel good and I know what foods make me feel crappy - That's all it is to it. I am myself and nobody else, and I can be myself. Mommy of three, kick ass waitress, rock and roll girl, a drinker, a lover, emotional and still on my own road to growing up: MY OWN WAY.

After coming home today and putting away some groceries from Whole Foods, I realized that this second time around is a whole new view of myself. I think that before I was trying too hard to be somebody I wasn't. Trying too hard to be this "mold" of a "Vegan" or a "Raw foodist" when in reality I just want to make better eating habits.

I am not going to kick myself for screwing up, but just go day by day and try the best I can to be me and make better food decisions to better my health. Be a good mommy and to try to not be perfect. just me:)
