Confession time: When I adopted the 80/10/10 style of eating raw food I struggled every single day. I wanted so badly to get it “right” and follow the rules so I didn’t listen to my body and instead followed what others were eating. I was afraid that I’d gain weight if I ate more than a ¼ avocado per day, so I stuffed myself full of fruit to avoid eating any fat. I even cut all nuts and seeds out of my diet for nearly three years. A part of me loved eating this way because I wanted to feel validated that I was living a raw food lifestyle the “right” way. And I pretended for a long time that I was happy denying myself the foods I craved, namely nuts, seeds and avocado. But the problem was that this was just another diet, another way to restrict my food choices and solidify the belief that I could not eat what I wanted because I was not good enough. That way of thinking and eating lead to binges. I would give myself permission to eat some nuts and seeds and end up downing pounds of them to the point where I’d feel sick. I was eating raw but I still had a completely twisted relationship with my food. I knew that I needed to make a radical shift in my lifestyle and I started by removing all food rules from my diet. I began to treat myself with more gourmet raw foods and focused on loving myself instead of restriction. But by bit, my body and mind began to change. I stopped bingeing and I started to love myself. I tuned into my body and listened to what it was asking of me. It’s been an incredible journey with many ups and downs but so worth it to feel free with my body, mind, and lifestyle choices! I just uploaded a video about how I stopped bingeing and found a healthy relationship with food.
