I'll Be Eating At A Steakhouse Tonight

Tonight is my friend's birthday. So I'll be going out with him to eat at Charlie Brown's Restaurant. Charlie Brown's is a popular steakhouse here in New Jersey.

I used to eat there sometimes in my cooked food days and I can still eat there in my raw food days. So maybe I'll bring back some pictures and show you what I ate and describe what it feels like to me to be in such a place.

It should be interesting. Please realize that for me, it's not difficult anymore to be in the presence of cooked food. It's not something I like to do every day, but the food won't seem so tempting to me that I feel compelled to eat it.

But I'll try to describe my feelings in detail. I'll bring my audio recorder with me to take notes. I'll take note of the smells and any cravings that come up due to those smells and how I deal with them.

Quite frankly the smells of cooked foods do bring up cravings for me. But it's been so long since I've acted on those cravings that they have little power over my decisions.

When I was first going 100% raw I decided to stay completely away from cooked food restuarants for three months. I just knew how addicted I was to cooked foods. Having been with someone eating cooked food at first would have been too much for me.

I would have felt so deprived.  But that's only becuase I still was a cooked food addict.

Tonight I'll go into Charlie Brown's and realize that I'm the lucky one and everyone else eating the cooked food are the one's being deprived. I'll laugh at the cooked food… it has no power over me.

I'll take advantage of their decent salad bar. I'll be eating live foods while my friend and his family poison themselves with cooked food and alchohol. It's really sad for them (of course they're not thinking like that, even though everyone there already knows about my lifestyle.) they'll be poisoning themselves for momentary pleasure.

It's pathetic really. Everything for mere moments of pleasure. But as the food goes down the throat the pain begins. But this is what happens, the perspective gets shifted. It appears to the cooked food addict that they can't be happy without their favorite cooked foods.

That life won't be the same. They think they'll be bored and can't have fun with their friends. But as I'm illustrating, I can still have friends who eat cooked food and even go out with them to their cooked food restaurants. I'll be having the most fun by far tonight.

All the while I'm being a great example for them and for the people who observe me and what I'm eating.

If you want to go raw you have to strengthen the parts of you that want health, happiness, youthfullness, energy and peak performance. Right now those things take second place to how things taste.

Your emotions associated with taste rule your world and your decisions. Sometimes you have no control over what you put in your mouth. As long as it tastes good and feel good, you'll eat it, regardless of the health consequences.

You call chocolate cake a food? Or potato chips or pizza? Yuuuckk. That too me is pure poison.

But when you're free of cooked food addiction, you're tastebuds don't rule you anymore. You have a sense of peace when it comes to food. You're not strongly compelled by a massive desire to eat.

You feel satisfied and can go many hours without eating. I could just go the restaurant and not eat anything. I could just eat a big meal and sit there with them. But since they have a salad bar, I'll take advantage of it.

Plus it's great for conversation for a man 6 feet three inches tall, to be making a full meal of fruits and vegetables. It helps spread the raw food diet message.

Tomorrow I'll post more about my dinner at the steakhouse.
