Another Diet --- WHAT?

Today, June 9th, 2019, I am starting a raw vegan diet for the next 7 days.  Actually, this diet is to break my addiction from sugar.  I told my mom about this change and she stated - why another diet - Jenn, you already had weight-loss surgery.  She had a good point.  The problem is my weight is not where I want it to be and after the surgery certain foods have made me sick.  My problem is no doctor can find out way I am having certain digestive issues that are making me feel miserable, so I decided after researching and evaluating other individuals maybe it is my diet.  I can say I am addicted to juicing and feel awesome when I am drinking raw juice. The problem I get back to is that sugar is still my weakness. That is way this journey of raw vegan diet is upon me.  I am excited. The problem I for see is diversifying my fruits and vegetables I eat, but I am willing to push through.

So here is to another amazing journey of dieting that might turn into a lifestyle shift..... For the next seven days I am going to document how I did and my feelings, so I can keep myself accountable to this challenge I am giving myself.  I also hope in the future this could/may help another person.  My hope is that my experience will help motivate someone else to do a shift or change in their life that will better them.  Lets begin.....Day 1

Day 1: Restart

Today, I have decided to restart.

Let me explain, I have tried for many months and even years to get to a decent weight where I can feel good about myself and be out of the obesity category.  Over the course of a year I have shifted my eating habits and added exercise except I have one problem and that is long term success. What I mean is I can manage the change in diet and exercise for a short term but fall off the wagon after a few days to weeks.

I realized this is not the only area I struggle with, so I am restarting in all areas of my life.  When I reflect on my life one word comes to mind which is discipline. On this day of March 23, 2019 - I want to be disciplined in every area of my life and than teach others to do the same.

Again, this is my restart.  I know some may think I have it all together but for me I want to not get complacent or just go through the motion. Instead I want to do my best in all areas of life including my health.

Here we go...I know this will not be a sprint instead it is a journey of life i have to take. If you feel you need a shift than you can restart your life anytime as the change has to start with you as no one can do it for you.

Day 1: started with drinking a nutritional supplement called moringa supermix. And my goal is no bread products just veggies, fruits, and protein.

Here I go
