Hey all!I'm wondering if anyone has any good advice for me regarding self-sabotage. It seems as though I hit about the 3 week mark of following 80/10/10 HCRV and FEEL THE BEST I've ever felt--my mood, sleep, skin, body all in prime condition with finally getting the body that I've always dreamed and then I start to mentally talking myself out of the lifestyle. It's like there's this evil little voice in the back of my mind saying "you don't deserve to feel this good--to look this good--to have…See More

Today's intake:

I was high raw for about 6 months. I kept trying to stick to an 811 lifestyle, but it was a rocky start for me. It wasnt until this month that I finally began to take a bit more control over my choices and I've been sticking to HCRV.
