Lunch Tote to the rescue!!

[Graciebeliever]

Ok now I finally know that I am RAW hehe

I had to go to town for a meeting and It is about a 45 minute drive. I actually dug out my sons insulated lunch bag and packed RAW emergency rations cuz I didn't want to be without the right stuff!

Now here is the funny part. I started packing and I started grabbing stuff left and right. I totally ran out of room cuz I didnt wanna be without this and that and the grapes and the apples and the nuts and the bananas.
I looked like a squirrel cramming 3 years of nuts in to a little hole!

I stood there laughing at myself and as I was laughing I went back to get the bigger picnic cooler!!!
OH I laughed my patooie off.

I will NOT be parted from my RAW STUFF!
I carried that huge picnic clooer beside me in the car and I felt safe and secure. Yes I patted it and almost thought of seatbelting it in!!
When I arrived for the meeting I knew I couldn't bring it in and I put it in the trunk because if anything was gonna get stolen it BETTER NOT BE MY FRUIT! hahahahaha

They used to say "Let go of my eggo" NOW I say "Let go of my MANGO!"

That is soo funny! I have done the same thing, packed the picnic cooler to make a trip! I have found that apples and some fruit will be fine in the car (as long as I don't leave them in the heat) but other "snacks" like fudge balls...don't! Keep up the good work...congratulations on mastering one of the easiest pitfalls for "falling off the raw wagon"....not being prepared!!

That is great! That is exactly the thing to do, have plenty of raw food around so you won't ever feel deprived or hungry. Good for you!! I've been raw for two years and I still pack way more food than I need. It just helps me feel more secure knowing that I'll have plenty. Keep up the good work!

I always try to bring a cooler tote with me when I'm going to be out for longer than an hour. I need a bigger one though for the future.

Gracie,
One of the reasons I gained so much weight was because I was too darn lazy to pack my own lunch. Especially when you are on Atkins, because that means a chicken breast or some other thing. For some reason, on Raw it's much easier for me. I cheat sometimes and buy the romaine that's ready to go, or baby spinach, but I just toss things into the food processor and whip 'em up, and it's ready in 2 seconds. I LOVE this!!!
