Day 12

Not easy.  I was not content all day long.  It probably didn't help that I spent a good portion of the day surfing the 'net for raw food recipes.  But still.  It seemed like I ate a lot, but I just couldn't get satisfied.

THEN ... I started craving pizza.  Hot pizza.  With cheese.  Ooohey and gooey and oh no.  I seriously considered it.

Then I came up with a compromise.  Since I do not have a dehydrator, I have no way of creating a pizza crust.  So.  I made a crust out of dough and rolled it out, covered it with a teeny bit of jarred marinara sauce and then cooked it.

Then I put some raw cheddar cheese spread, chopped up (raw) mushrooms and red peppers, and little slices of squash -- and it was delicious and ended up quelling my craving.  Satisfying it big time.  Maddie even had three slices of it -- and deemed it "sick."  (This is good!)

So I guess the lesson here is -- if you're going to waver, seek a compromise that doesn't take you too far over the cliff, but instead is far less evil.  I mean in truth, all I ate that was bad was a little flour and a teeny bit of cooked sauce.  Again.  Not so bad.  And I don't feel in the least bit guilty -- instead I am proud of myself for handling it with such aplomb!
