almost broke down

[loveyouforever]

i just suddenly got this craving for feta cheese and freshly baked bread. i have not had them for months. i was battling it for a while, got up and put on my sweater to go to the store and “indulge”. i even wanted to get some beer, and I am not even a fan. as i passed by my mirror on my way out, i looked at my face and it struck me how clear my face is and the dark circles under my eye have disappeared while on raw. and i stopped as i will not put myself through this self destructive behavior of getting off raw, just because i am dealing with emotional stuff. so instead, i am indulging in a delicious banana shake :)

You deserve a lot of credit for that.
There have been times when, if the store that sells the Vegan Choc Ices was closer to me I would have given in, but thankfully it is too far and I would have lost the urge by the time I got there.

I have heard that generally a craving will disappear after 3 minutes - you need to focus on something else during that time!

You did really well to fight the urge to binge - it happens to me too.

You saw the REAL you in the mirror.......Keep it up. It is always lurking in the dark, trying to suduce you.............

Hi, my name is Stina and after experimenting with a major shift away from macrobiotics to Rawness, I'm really looking to go hardcore and see what it's like. My several days of 100% percent raw were magical, but, oh, dear, the cheese cravings did me in. So I'm looking to here for support and insight. Even my co-workers at the health food store seem to be strangely threatened by Rawness. Would like to strive for the month long purity challenge. Hello All! What a cool website. Blessed Be, Stina from Oregon

I'm proud of you, only because I sure am not proud of myself. I ate vegetabel rolls tonight :o It's ok, tomorrow is a new day.

Loveyouforever, where are you in the bay area? I see your a medical student, which school?

Last night I had a severe cheese craving for a fleeting second. Some commercial came on TV for those crumbles of cheese that come in a bag. They showed them raining from the sky. Without even thinking I opened my mouth as I gazed at the TV, wishing I could just open my mouth and catch some in it. But then I thought about how sick I'd be if I ate it. I shut my mouth, shuddered and felt sick to my stomach for a moment just thinking of it.

[Dutchie]

That's so good of you.
It's something to be proud of.
Well done!!! :D

[jiujitsugirl]

you go girl, i did the same i just got on my bike and rode off into the wind and realized that like rawgodess's saying says we get to choose to eat raw- were lucky!!

[GoingtoRAW]

Loveyouforever,

Good job! I have been having some cravings today for almost anything cooked after being 100% raw for 16 days. I just keep making myself remember how I felt eating cooked foods, being tired and bloated with bad skin, on medication, cranky, and on and on. Why in the world would I want to go back there? Stay strong. ;)

[loveyouforever]

thank you all for your wonderful support, you all help me keep focused on what is important in life :)
