Day 3 of Raw - prepping for Lent

So it's day 3 and this is when everyone says they start to detox off of all the junk. I'll let you know that things have definitely been digesting pretty comfortably for me. I have had to pee like 10 times every day though. It's just crazy. But fresh fruit and veg has a lot of water in it.

Anyway, let's talk about this detox thing. I'm not feeling many symptoms. Currently, my nose is running like a faucet, but I'm not feeling otherwise ill. I hope I don't get a migraine because I'm prone to getting those for no reason anyway, and here I am giving my body a reason to have one. I have inflamed taste buds from eating too much acid, but that's normal for me when I eat a lot of citrus. Really the only problem I'm having is shoveling all this food into my mouth. Constantly chewing. I so hope I get better at this. I need to look up and try some raw recipes becaue it's getting boring just cutting up a fruit and eating that fruit. My lunches are getting boring. I am not sure how this will work while I'm at work. On the one hand, I can take a big bowl of raw vegetables and snack on it all day, but on the other hand, I might get really bored with it and find myself at a vending machine to get something salty. Food addiction is a real thing when it comes to junk food.

I'm also worried that I might be eating too much sugar.

I'm so excited for Lent though. I'm going to lose a ton of weight.  - hopefully about 15 pounds realistically over 40 days, so that's not that bad, around 3ish pounds a week. I know a lot of that will probably be water weight, but whatever as long as I feel good about myself nothing else really matters. I'm not obsessed with a number. I do want to be able to show my mom that it can be done though. She's definitely a victim of the rollercoaster. Always on one diet or another, and they usually include starrving herself, or drinking meal replacement shakes, and then eating on top of them because they make her hungrier. I hate so much that she hates herself. Honestly, I will probably not see her more than twice between now and the end of Lent, so she'll probably notice a big difference.

For a little background and to kinda come up against the hate that I'll probably get for going RAW for even this short period of time; I am 5'4'' and weigh 180 pounds. A body fat % test reveals that I'm about 30% body fat, so I can definitely stand to lose some fat. I'm not looking to be a twig, just want to fit into some old clothes, and be curvy, but not lumpy or saggy.
