An Update

The reason I've been away so long is that my son yanked the space bar off my computer! I couldn't type properly just using the rubber nipple underneath. Now it's been put back (thanks to my husband, he's great at fixing just about anything).

I have been off raw since my illness and am happy to report that my weight has gone up to 48 kilos in that short time. I was getting really worried. My son is happier with my milk quality and supply too.

On the less positive side, I have slipped back into my heavy reliance on sugar and it is not by choice. The addiction is in charge of me! I have started to increase my fruit consumption as following the intestinal problems I really couldn't digest it at all and hope to return soon to my raw state.

I was happiest raw and remember the time I couldn't imagine returning to cooked and junk food. The one thing that would help me stay raw would be to be living somewhere with hygiene and good fruit. For weeks my neighbourhood has only had rotten fruit and no lettuce, just wilted rotting tennis ball sized things. There is no chain supermarket round here and it's a very poor area with constant rubbish scavenging by professional scavengers.

I am waiting for a portal to open that will facilitate my return to raw, today I managed to buy a decent quantity of fruit and will aim for a raw day tomorrow. Wish me luck!
