Struggling with cravings or self criticism — read this & How my diet and relationship with myself changed in the last 20 years

This is a post about the social and emotional connection to diet and cravings as well as my personal journey from 20 years ago till now and how it's changed.

You're not wrong or bad — you're normal and valid!

🥭🍇🍉

If you've fell off the wagon in diet many times I want to say this to you personally 👇

Listen you may have experienced this, probably we all have, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with you. In fact it's totally natural and you're 100% valid! Honor that and please don't self criticise, or feel bad or shameful about yourself dear 🙏💛🌿

There's also a process/timeline for things to all align and stabilise as far as mentally, emotionally, physically and socially go, which took me yearsss to have little to no cravings and feel good socially and emotionally, after 20 years vegan and high raw now.

I used to struggle enormously in the first 5 years or so to stay all raw for prolonged periods and that was definitely down to both my physical body adjusting and detoxing as well as the relationship I had with myself pertaining to the load of emotions I was carrying from childhood trauma as well as the state of my nervous system and survival responses. Basically I would eat heavier to numb or distract myself from my emotions. I'm sure you can relate.

Now I'm pretty much all raw with tiny exceptions and about 1/3 to 1/2 of my month is fruit only days.

Once a week I do juicy fruits only predominantly dragonfruit and maybe mango, watermelon and pineapple if they're available etc.

Other fruit only days can be fairly moderate to heavy on durian!

It's all almost plain sailing now. I feel comfortable in my own skin, embodied, grounded and stable both mentally, emotionay, physically, socially and spiritually. It used to be really hard and a big effort, almost like a battle and now it's not — it's easy thankfully. Just the way I want it to be.

I still make progress, have things I'm working on and I'm just like everyone else in both being an imperfect human but also spiritually perfect also.

🌿 I used to teach about health, diet, fasting and owned a herbstore for 10 years but while I still help people in this regard, I've in recent years switched to full time relationship coaching and helping others heal from past trauma and overall emotional healing.

💛 I also got my new book I was working on for many years just published this week!!!! (For anyone interested, I'm super stoked and excited about it and it deeply would support anyone on a raw food or fruitarian journey also, all from both deep personal experience and immersive study and mentorship also) 🙏

Because diet is actually a HUGE reflection of our mental and emotional state, as well as physical.

For me I actually notice a strong correspondence between how I feel with my deep and subtle emotions and uncomfortableness and what I end up eating.

It's of course also down to parasites and microbes in our intestinal flora as well as our lymphatic sewer system.

If you would like support on your healing journey for any of the above I offer a free 10-12 minute introductory call for those wishing to explore if we're a good fit. Just send me a DM or mail.

You can learn so much more about my other free offerings as well as my new book Held and Free of course here at my website.
