Sacrifice

I heard somewhere that sacrifice is giving up something good for something better. I'm not sure that the definition is exactly right. I think it should be giving up something you already know is good for the hope of something better.
So it is with this new diet. I first want to tell you the things that I will miss the most:
1) Warm bread spread with salty butter
2) Whipping cream and cream cheese frosting
3) Melted Cheese...I don't eat it much but once in awhile I get the hankering.

Sure, I know there are a lot of great things that I do get to eat. The real rewards, however, come with how I hope I will feel. Those who have followed the raw diet said that they had great rewards:
1) The need for less sleep. I need about 9 to 10 hours to feel really good. (I rarely get that much sleep so I rarely feel really good)
2) More energy (I want to do a triathlon)
3) Happier and goodbye PMS
4) Reaching my ideal weight
5) Great skin/Healthy body

I have Hope. But do I have the tenacity to follow through? Shoot, I can do anything for a year. Right???
