I’ve been awakened to raw food desserts! They are oh so scrummy yummy plus they’re dairy and grain free!

On the weekend, I took my new housemate to Earth to Table – A vegan Raw cafe in Bondi Junction. I’ve got to be honest I’m not the biggest fan of the main meals in vagan/raw places, they’re really nice they’re just missing meat in my opinion :). The desserts though … Oh. My. God – AAAHHHHMAAAAZING! Anyway, we had some absolutely delicious desserts and I ate waay too much! I told myself it didn’t matter so much because it was a ‘healthy’ pig out.

Yes they’re made with love from all natural ingredients like nuts, cacao, coconut oil and coconut syrup but that doesn’t necesarilly make them ‘healthy’. Sure, they’re healthier than the alternative (a grain, sugar and dairy filled traditional cake) but they’re still a shite-load of good fats with a side-serve of sugar (even if it is ‘natural’).

It got me thinking…

Isn’t it amazing the little lies we tell ourselves, lies that have no victim except ourselves!

I am getting straight back on my desired nutrition path following my holiday, I deviate a little and instead of moving on I spend time justifying it in my own mind – for what?! I’m not fooling anyone and the only person I could be fooling is myself and what’s the purpose of that?!

Am I crazy? Am I lazy? Am I stupid? … nope I’m just plain human!

This week I’m really watching out for any little fibs I’m trying to slip into my brain … ‘ohhh you’re tired you’re body needs to rest’, ‘ohhhh but this pretty dress is on sale so really you’re saving money’, ‘ohhh there’s time to do it tomorrow’.

Really it’s not a big deal they are small things and one little cake really isn’t going to make that much difference, as long as it doesn’t snowball into lots of little cakes adding up into an entire cake – no matter how delicious it is!
