Slow down, prepare

I must apoligize, even to myself. I have been getting really behind on writing. I want to keep up with this because I really feel it is important so I can get honest, see the "real" me and work towards my goals-weight loss, health and getting RAW. I feel as though the last week or so life has been swirling around like a merry-go-round and I can't get off. I'm not sad, or angry, or even wore out, just spinning around with a feeling of needing to slow down. Last night I laid down to bed much earlier than I ever do and I was OUT pretty quickly. I don't remember taking off my glasses or putting down my book or anything. Goes to show me, I can go and go and go but I really need to slow down and give my body some rest! I have also discovered that the more cooked, processed, sugary foods I eat, the less patience, focus and tolerance I have.
So, what I am learning is that there is more to eating raw than eating raw.
What is it that I want, what is the total picture of going raw. What is my goal-for eating and for emotional change?
