I need to tell you this little experience of mine last Friday. My husband and I decided to have sushis. The "regular" kind with rice. We have a good place selling them near our home. I did not had the time to prepare anything and needed a break from preparing anything actually.
With all my support, AnneSo here we go our merry way and buy sushis. At the same time, why not drink a glass of wine with it (organic wine).
To be honest, I found it good to the taste, it's true even though I definitely prefer the raw ones with all kinds of fresh and crunchy vegies in them!
20 minutes after finishing my meal, my energy level went right down to the floor, through the bottom floor to the basement. Crash!!!! I had to go to bed when these days I do have enough energy to stay up till midnight! But after this cooked food meal, my eyes were closed at 10 o'clock.
The next morning, my brain was totally cloudy. I couldn't think clearly.
All raw foodists will tell you similar stories. But you don't really believe them... yeah yeah... that won't happen to me! ya right. Well, folks, I have to tell you. The story is true. Very true. It took me a few hours the next day to clear my brain and think a bit straighter. And these days, I need a clear brain!
Good lesson and I won't forget it!
It comes down to a simple conclusion, how do I want to feel? sluggish with a cloudy brain? or do I want to have an alive body full of energy with great thoughts and ideas constantly coming to my mind?
How on earth can anyone feel alive and energetic when eating dead foods?!!!! I wonder how I did it myself for so long.... actually I was not really completely alive. I binged to try to save myself.

Hi Anne
You seem like an angel to me right now!
I have come a long way in my healing of bingeing and becoming raw over about 5 years, however, I seem to be unable to stop bingeing completely. Ive tried therapy (& still go), 12 steps for 3 years, various others but it seems an elusive goal. I am nowhere near as extreme as I used to be but I find it confusing as to whether to be easier on myself, allowing a little cooked food/ sugar/ cooked grains/ whatever (which seems to trigger wanting more of the above!) or being purer with 100% raw and no cravings, however the emotions are so much more intense. Agh. Its frustrating, as I have just gone natural hygiene in december, loved the energy and clean feelings but now I am bingeing on all kinds of sabotage foods.
How did you finally stop?
I found you on GI2MR, I will friend request you if thats ok. This is an amazing blog by the way, thanks so much for being so open and honest.
