It has been 2 weeks and I have bad news. I fell off the iceberg face first and landed in a pond of chill. It was a cold dark place of self abuse and neglect of happiness for what seemed an eternity.
I was feeling like I let everyone down and did not know how to face my new found friends who are so supportive. I wanted so hard to have a flawless raw victory and take the crown. But then this thing called reality kicked in overdrive and pushed me into a binge that had me eating crap I should not have.
I felt like why am I doing this and what is the real reason I am losing my mind? That is when I started thinking about why I am not perfect and the beauty of meditation and focus.
I put the word failure out of my head and accepted the fact that I made a mistake. Raw Food is more like a lifestyle and learning the lifestyle takes patience. I wanted it all in a one day and forgot what I have learned from the blueprint. I forgot that I have to take baby steps then gradually build up my levels from 1 to 10.
I forgot not to punish myself for slipping off and just get back on my journey. I have read so many documented statements from others who seemed to just wing it. But then I was thinking that I can’t base my life on others. I have to continue on my own path to fat loss via raw food.
This is my story and my life is not perfect so I have to allow my transformation to happen naturally. I know you probably don’t read many blogs like mine with someone being honest as I am right now.
I know you are most likely motivated by someone singing “this is so easy that even a a caveman can do it.”
But I am not a lair or an actor and I am living in the real world! I am keeping it as real with you as real can get even if I lose some friends along the way. The way I see it, if I don’t be honest with you then how can I look at myself in the mirror and feel good about myself?
This is my life and I am getting it on track in front of you all. I have made mistakes in the past but going raw for me is not one I consider a mistake that I want to change. This in fact is a blessing and I am happy to be part of the raw food movement. I love the way eating raw makes me feel and the energy it brings. I love the health benefits and everything about it.This way of living can save people’s life like you seen in the movie Simply Raw.
I want to be honest and let you all know that it is a choice I decided to make and live with. It is my new way of living and I am still taking it seriously. THE ONLY FAILURES IN LIFE ARE THE ONES WHO GIVE UP!
I am not a giving up and I feel that my life is worth it!
This is my reality life story of Mr. Meltdown going raw and making a total Raw Food transformation to better health. This Is The Raw Food Transformation of Mr. Meltdown

I appreciate you being honest about your feelings on the whole matter. I on the other hand take an ostrich head in the sand approach. I started out well on my way but finances and other stuff got in my way. I wanted to do this thing right; wanted to benefit from it all, but it has not worked out for me as yet. I want to be a vegan or raw foodist some day, but I dived in head first and that was not for me. If I am not disciplined just drinking water you can imagine taking on raw food as a lifestyle. I have to find what works for me. I have to eat better than I am right now; may it be cooked or raw. I have to stick to an exercise regimen even when I am having a down day. The point is; I have to creep before I walk, walk before I run. And for me raw food living is running. I have to take each step at a time to get there. Know what it takes for you to get there. And remember the progress you have made the friends you have met and the support you are receiving. And Mr M you are the only one out there besides my husband that has given me any support; so you can never let me down; you have done so much for me already by just being YOU!
Wow Cherylann,
If you are trying to choke me up then all I can say is mission accomplished! I have to just be honest to everyone in documenting my progress and failures on this journey.
I am writing from the heart and what I experience is what I am inspired to write about. This is just another day and another chance at getting back in the mix of eating right and working toward my goal.
Your words and comment was so inspiring and kind that it kind of choked me up. When I first started this blog I would have never thought I would meet cool Doctors, weight loss professionals, raw food professionals, registered dietitians who became my friends.
This is the reason I do what I do and makes all this worth it. I appreciate you and your wonderful husband for holding me down. It is not over yet and in fact this is just the beginning. Now let’s get fit and lose this weight!!
