Bean Soup

I was cooking a meal for a new mom yesterday and had to salt and taste it. You know where I'm heading with this? Yes, I fell off the wagon...again.

Once again, being pregnant, I find it very easy to excuse myself for falling off. In fact, I am seriously considering being a less extreme 95% raw.

After falling off, I start thinking about all the foods I miss:
Indian food, vegetarian PHO soup, cream of wheat porridge with toast and butter.

Yet I know the only reason I'm thinking about these foods now, is because I fell off the wagon. I wasn't craving anything cooked before I tasted the bean soup. And I think it can be just as hard to try to be in moderation and eat 95% raw food.

The fact is I want to have a healthy pregnancy. But I guess, in the lifestyle that we have, I will always have some kind of challenge. The question is, what should I decide on ... and what do I tell others?
