Commitment Issues
Today’s Raw Food Diet
- Strawberries (3 lb.)
- Grapes (27 oz.)
- Bananas (7)
- Avocado (one-half)
My little trip off of the reservation yesterday cost me 2.5 pounds. No worries . . . they’ll be gone in two to three days.
Today’s strategy: Eat raw fruits and greens until I’m at the bursting point. I need to stretch the stomach, and I need to kill any cravings.
I’m not sure that cravings are my number one issue, though.
Hi, my name is Ron, and I’m a raw food diet commitmentphobe.
(By the way, is “commitmentphobe” a real world. My WordPress editor says it isn’t. Of course, it says that WordPress isn’t a real word either . . . ) 
Roger Haeske talks about this in his book, Think and Go Raw. Roger says that his epiphany came during a vacation trip when he realized that many of his fondest memories centered around food. He realized that he was going to have to find new ways to make memories if he intended to stay raw.
That’s my problem. Most of the social activities that I do with family and friends are centered around food. And, some of the places I go with them don’t even have a decent salad on the menu to order.
One of the commitments I made to myself is that I would only eat food that I enjoy. So, if my only salad option is iceberg lettuce with underripe tomatoes, I’m not going to eat it . . . period.
So, if there’s nothing good to eat, what’s my option?
More about this tomorrow.
