Start Somewhere

I've experimented with eating raw on and off for the past 5 years or so. For the past 2 months I've eaten mostly raw, and this is the longest period of time I've spent on this diet.

I've tried quite a few different approaches in raw food, and lately I've been making a concerted effort to consume a great deal more high water-content food than previously. Lots and lots of fruit in the morning and afternoon, at least one green smoothie a day (usually consisting of apples, soaked figs, and mixed greens), and a humongous greens/veggie salad for dinner.

I'm feeling such a mix of emotions right now, and am wondering if it's because I've changed my diet so drastically in the past few days (this is the period of time I've been doing mega greens and fruit). I am feeling full of energy and completely exhausted at the same time. How is this possible?

I've also devoured my collection of raw food books, and am listening to Raw Vegan Radio on a daily basis. I feel as though my consciousness is expanding at such a rapid rate, I don't know what to do with myself.

I plan to use this space to record my experiences on the raw diet, and hopefully inspire myself and others who are interested in living life to the fullest.

I am wondering if it the emotional phase has to do purely with change, and how we naturally tend to "hold on" to the old familiar, rather than "letting go" any not buying into ebb and flow of things. I don't doubt that it will soon become second nature because you truly know you are doing the right thing. I wish you the best of luck and encouragement and look forward to hearing more on how it goes. :)
