Falling in love again- my new love

I've fallen in love- very unexpectedly. At my age, it's unusual to have this happen, especially so suddenly.

(Sighs, swoons, smiles and hugs self)


But, things crept up and I made some lifestyle changes
and now, I have fallen in love






- with RAW PAPAYA!!!!!

HA-HA! I am sitting here laughing, imagining all the people who are reading this and freaking out thinking that Jim and I had split up. HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!

Yes, I bought a 5 pound raw papaya at Publix earlier this week, and it has fed me for three days. I got the idea from seeing Joanna Lumley on a British TV show similar to "Survivor" except she was on an island alone. She is a vegetarian, and after several days of rice cooked in veggie bouillon, she dug up a wild Yam and found wild Papaya growing in the island. it really looked lush when she cut it open, and I remember her saying "That's the best food in the world" when she took a bite! It really ranks up there as at least one of the best. Also satisfies my sweet tooth, and contains papain, which is a natural digestive enzyme.

Noticing no chest pains and very few headaches this week. Not even my "Normal" headache of the day. BIG change from when I was eating mostly Bertolli frozen pasta dishes. I still cook them for Jim, and have a tiny tea saucer with a bit, so I don't feel deprived. I'm about 75-80 % raw foods.

I got paid today, so I will be back for more papaya later today. YUM-O!
