Yep, it happened

[misslinda]

So,,,,,,,,I was to be doing an extensive fasting on juices and water...........

Suprisingly, while experiencing major detox, I allowed the tension and legal issues at work channel into my "fasting." I slowly and consistently chose non raw eating habits.........more so my behaviors have become compulsive and addictive----didn't complete the fasting as intended.

Those all too familiary feeling/emotions have been churning and surfacing in me. I keep asking myself why was I able to do the 40+ day fasting before without problems but what did I do or not do that weakened my mental strength this time around?

I don't really care to know why............I don't want sympathy..........I know that for the NOW, I am disappointed in me,hate me,find me disgusting and plainly grosse.

I really needed to "purge" all this out b/c all those around me don't understand RAWHOOD---that it's not a diet...............it's a lifestyle.

More so, I feel the intensity of my old ED behaviors surfacing and it's not the greatest feeling in the world--ya know?


in shock.
ml :rolleyes:

[PATH301]

Oh.......Sh#% misslinda,
I too the last 4 days have slipped up coz I've been around some stuff. And I'm pissed off at myself and I even know all the chemical crap that is in the foods but it's like this SAD stuff is everywhere and where is the raw convient stores at?, when I need them to be on every corner. Sometimes I just hate having to make things up from scratch all the time that I just get lazy and eat plain old simple raw, no fancy recipes. Plus I've been like wandering about you and why you have'nt been your normal responsive self? This is so weird that you've been slipping too :rolleyes:

[misslinda]

F$&%*(#(K

Dude, I dunno. When I started the fast, I was completely content and VERY satisfied just eating 8 grapefruits a day or what have you.

Hmmmmmm, what triggered your episode? Work too?

:cool:

[juliebove]

I am not the fasting type, but perhaps this just wasn't the right time to do this. I figure things happen for a reason. Sometimes that reason isn't always obvious to us at the time.

One of the last major "piss off" things in my life was when we left NY to move back to WA. The movers came early so I put my cat in her carrier and took it outside to let them get set up. I was then going to ask them which room I could put the cat in. But it never got that far. My husband started freaking out over something and demanded that I come back inside. So while I did this, one of the kids let the cat out of the bag. Literally. Well, not on purpose or so it was said. They only wanted to pet the cat. But the cat then freaked and ran off into the woods.

We stayed in NY as long as we could and then headed for PA (to visit inlaws) without the cat. Daughter and I were soooo upset. We'd put out a trap for her and I begged the kids in the neighborhood not to feed her. I had hoped if she got no other food, she would finally go to the trap on our patio and eat the food in there. We had the whole neighborhood looking for her and watching and trap.

On the day before we were to set to leave for WA, my old neighbor called. She had found the cat. So we drove back and got her. She is with us now. She is fine. And now whenever I get her carrier out, she hops in it and refuses to get out. Hehe.

But then the very next day, the day we would have left for WA but didn't because of the delay with the cat, our van broke down. We'd headed out to see my MIL for one last time. Transmission went out. We couldn't leave the state. Had to buy another vehicle because we couldn't get that one repaired in time. Luckily, my BIL is a mechanic and also sells used vehicles. He fixed the van and sold it at a later date, sending us a check in the mail. And we were able to buy another van from him at cost.

So while I had been upset about losing the cat, it actually turned out to be a good thing. Had we not had that delay, we would have broken down somewhere along the road with all of our possesions and the cat and would have been up the creek without a paddle!

What this has to do with your situation is absolutely nothing...I know. However, hopefully one day in the near future you will be able to see that there was a reason why this happened. Perhaps it is indeed a purge that you need but maybe not this kind of purge. Maybe you just need to clean your closets or something. :)

[Coriander74]

It really sucks when things happen and the ED stuff starts firing up again.

I don't hate you or find you disgusting or gross. But I do understand your feelings. I feel very much the same when there are slip ups.

Welcome back.

[misslinda]

Actually, the fasting wasn't the issue, it was the "unpreparedness" of detox symptoms plus being back in the world after being gone for 2 years.

Path, at least we can continue to say that you and I are always on the same page--ya know.

It's like, I get this letter from my therapist asking if I am okay cuz I haven't been in and blah blah balh........the LAST thing I want to do is figure it out. I don't care to figure it out............

Boy, can you feel the rage in me ROARING?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

[PATH301]

Hmmmmmm, what triggered your episode? Work too?

I was grooving during my juice fast, but like near the end some legal issues came up coz some people did not due their "due dilligence" and put a lot of people into potential jeparody - So like for some reason I decided the have a vanilla shake at this resturant that we were having our business meeting at. I don't know what I was thinking? :rolleyes:
Then it sorta just snowballed after that had some more little sad snacks. My body is stinking up every where coz of the the mix up :eek: :eek:
I had a good raw spinach salad tonight, felt good about that :D
getting back on track :D



juliebove,
Nice story so the cat saved you all :D

[PATH301]

Something is up with my pc, I keep getting this fricken microsoft error report and it keeps shutting my down, somethings up!

[berrymarymac]

Wow you guys...BAD!!!

Haha, I'm an totally kidding!! I know slip ups are bad and you feel like beating yourself down, but don't. I ate something today and messed up big time...damn fried crab...

But anyways, you guys are amazing! I couldn't do a fast lol. I've thought about one...but yeah...lol

[Sharon in Colorado]

So - are you looking for a hand holding or a butt kicking?

I can do both you know.

[PATH301]

mrandal,
So how did that dead fried crab taste? Ah soooo good, but sooo bad.

misslinda, ( check your email)
you know that I gotta do alast a 2 day grapefruit burner to kill all the crap that I've eatin!

[misslinda]

anyway misslinda,


No doubt, sometimes s#%t just happens and then you go on!


Ugh like i've been constipated for a week. Sometimes Sh*t doesn't happen :rolleyes:

Sorry folks, I'm really really sarcastic these days and working thru these unsettling feelings

Mrandal, yeah, those fricken fried crabs,,,,,,,,whatcha eat with it?

Everything I've eaten was from the HFS ---but the way my body reacts, it's like eating that commercial sh(&#*$t.


Rook to Queen 4
:cool:

[misslinda]

So - are you looking for a hand holding or a butt kicking?

I can do both you know.


Uhg, can you just shoot me Sharon? it's quicker :cool:

[Sharon in Colorado]

Recently someone here posted a link to some vegsource conference videos on here and I have successfully stayed away from some trigger foods, like certain dairy products.

Send me an E-mail and I can send you those links if you'd like.

[PATH301]

misslinda,
try chugging some grapeseed oil or olive or flax seed.
My farts have been peeling off the paint in my office, coz of all the putrification going on.

[PATH301]

oh ya plus I've notice that my right thumb nail seem to be splitting in the center for some reason?

[misslinda]

* CHUCKLES *

I have virtually no gas it's like a grand ole STOP........even more, I alread y have stiffness in the are of my spine that assists the colon so I am lacking blood flow........I've got camphor patches on the major meridan lines.

I'll be doing a enema here shortly with rosemary and red clove oils.

Thank you for offering Sharon, I will consider that.

What amazes me, is the degradation of all SENSE when you steer away from living foods,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,everything


:)

[Sharon in Colorado]

So...let me get this straight?

Are we talking about chugging oil, camphor patches and enemas in lieu of getting back on raw?

Why not just juice something, or better yet eat a bunch of fruit and drink lots of water to get things moving again?

Are you sure you want to further disturb your precious system that has already been sent into shock with all the herbs and stuff?

Take it easy girl~

P.S. Oh, I hope I am not coming across too harsh....maybe the 'butt kicking' isn't such a great idea! I just want you to be careful!

[berrymarymac]

mrandal,
So how did that dead fried crab taste? Ah soooo good, but sooo bad.

It was really really nasty!! Oh I'm paying for it right now! Heartburn and nastiness!! My sister wanted sushi and I broke down! -_-"

A spider roll...damn those things! I had my cucumber and avocado roll, along with a veggie rolls ordered, then cancelled the veggie and one avocado roll for that thing! I don't know why...

[Boz]

dont feel bad kids...

it happens to everyone, me included. I feel like all I think about now is food, and raw and whatever. If I didnt have an ED before, I swear I have one now.

I too have been eating so much shizzit lately it is unbelievable. I ate all raw today until 6 pm then I had chips and hummus, which I downed with a 36 oz Diet coke :confused:

I wish we didn't have to eat to live. wouldnt life be easier?

[lissomllama]

Whatever lifestyle you choose, misslinda, please don't hate yourself and call yourself digusting and gross. That is such an ugly thing to do and it won't get you anywhere. Love yourself no matter what you do wrong, forgive yourself and work from there.

No matter how you see it, you are lovely and beautiful. However, it will help you more if you see it.

I know exactly what it is like to have ED behavior resurface and honestly the only thing you can do is be good to yourself, and surround yourself with love and peace. Then you can work on what you need to stop or start doing in a physical sense.

At any rate I hope you feel better soon and make the right choice with regards to being/staying raw. You'll figure all this stuff out, just start over if that feels right to you.

Blessings to you :)

[honeybee joy]

misslinda,

You are not discusting or gross, just human. We all are. It can seem pretty gross when we do stuff that we know is going to really do our body harm. Ever since that fast I have been off balance. Ever since then I have been on this obsessive compulsive binge. Mostly raw, but some SAD. It is dissapointing. I think why I have been having problems, is these feelings popped up, and instead of dealing with them, I just wanted to brush them aside. I finally realized, you can't do that. I relalized that I was binging because I wasn't paying attention to the emotional side. I am still trying to figure out why I slipped up. Damn it. I gained back about 10 lbs! :eek:
This is just part of the journey. We all will overcome it.

Good luck with getting back on. (I know I am gonna need it!) I know you will do it! Cause your misslinda!! and you rawk! ;)

I am so glad you are back on here. I was wondering where you went!

[swingbolder]

I used to be a 1-2 pack a day smoker. When I made the resolve to quit, in 1987, there was a period of several years where I'd be good and not smoke for awhile, then I'd smoke for a few days, feel disgusted with myself, then go back to not smoking, repeat, etc.

It took several years for me to finally quit altogether.

And, with raw I'm finding the same thing. I will go for a period of a few weeks where I'm at 100%, only to fall off when I see friends or visit family or just have a weak moment and am stressed or whatever. Only this time, I spare myself the feelings of self-hate and disgust because I am familiar with the quitting process, and I know that as long as I stay on path, eventually the raw food will win out. Just go back to eating raw, it will all work itself out in time. You are not disgusting, it's just the cooked food in you that's making you feel disgusting.

So don't sweat it.

It's a process, let the process work its magic.

Don't hate yourself and get caught up in perfectionistic ways of thinking. If you stay on the raw path, eventually cooked foods will lose their grip on you for good.

I'm sorry if I sound preachy, I don't mean to. I just have some useful life experience in this area and want to pass it on.

What you said really clicked for me. I used to be a smoker, so I know what you are talking about, and what you said helped me remember that and Just thanks! It helped!

[tvillemom]

Hey Misslinda and Path.....remember me....from the fast :rolleyes: Funny to hear ya'll going through the same thing I was going through the past couple of weeks. Yeah...I made it through about 6 days of juice fasting...my first time fasting, and even though I wanted to do a longer fast, I knew wedding stuff would get in the way. Well.....the day after I broke my fast, I went to my sisters for her "party"....junk food galore, and I guess because my body was feeling starved.....the spinach dip (the SAD kind) and the crackers, etc....yeah...I ate everything I wanted because I knew later on the town my body would need solid food to help with alcohol consumption. NOW, I had every INTENTION of going back 100% raw the next day (Sunday July 30th) but let me tell you....I finally had 1 100% day YESTERDAY!! :mad: The worst part is, my mom called because we were cooking out at their house to welcome my sister and brother-in-law back home from their honeymoon. My mom made a comment about my raw diet and the comment was, "how's that workin for ya?" Meaning, of course it didin't look like I was doing too well, because I've gained some weight back (why does everyone associate good health with being skinny?) Of course I'm not healthy right now....but it really destroyed me. Then she called me again....and questioned all the other "diets" I've been on (weight watchers, marilu's program---which actually led me to raw :D ) anyway, I went outside and broke down. Not because of her questioning the RAW "diet" (I hate that term) but because...well DH came outside and put his arm around me and I told him that since I was 12 years old and couldn't fit in HER size 5 jeans (which now would probably be a size 0)...I've been compared to her....and my dad even TOLD me earlier this summer that "you'll never look as good as your mom!" So I've had to ask myself...."who am I" I don't want to be her.....and heartbreakingly....fighting through YEARS of self destruction, and never feeling good enough....
Misslinda....{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} to you, YOUR STILL MY HERO! THANK YOU....TEARFULLY (yes, I'm CRYING right now) I'M SERIOUSLY THANKING YOU FOR BEING SO HONEST, NO MATTER HOW PAINFUL IT IS!!! Your helping me grow....

And by the way...my mom and dad try to be health conscious....they limit their bread intake, but they eat chicken, fish, mostly....but some pork and beef....lots of salads....my mom is short like me but about a size 6....she went to the Dr. recently and her blood pressure is up, and her cholesterol is high....maybe I should ask her the same question. "how's THAT workin for ya" ;)

I LOVE YA'LL.
Wendi

*HUGS* to you, misslinda. I don't read the fasting section of this forum, but I noticed that your beautiful photo disappeared from your avatar a couple of days ago. I was kind of worried that you were having a hard time. That's exactly the kind of thing I do when I'm struggling.

You've got so much support here...I know you'll be feeling better in no time! :)

[misslinda]

[Lunar*Fey]

Misslinda,
HUGS HUGS HUGS! It looks as if I found this post too late, everyone has already said all the supportive, loving, helpful things lol ;) . But I just want you to know that no matter what, you are a beautiful, funny, kind-hearted, RAWESOME person and that can never change. I know that you will once again choose the right path. We all need to make mistakes, for without them...how can we grow? So I am sure that for some reason, you needed to make this mistake in order to grow. Don't let it bring you down.

much love,
Lunar*Fey <3

Hey you guys, you are inspiring so many.You fall down a little and then come here and talk to us about it. It lets everyone know that we don't have to be perfect on this lifestyle. Sometimes to take 3 steps forward we have to take 1 step back. No big deal, right! As long as we jump back in we are ahead again. How amazing right!

Thanks misslinda and Path for being great inspirations for the raw lifestyle to sooo many

[ChilePalm]

Swing, I'm really with you... it is all SO a journey... the important part is to realize we have to practice forgiving ourselves for not being the perfect beings we want to be, and just accept the journey, the process... but don't quit.. get right back up on the horseradish again, so to speak...

And the lost cat story? So awesome, a God-thing... I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a distinct purpose, and miracles happen every day... if you can't see them happening around you, you need to adjust your sight...

This is my second raw day... completely raw, and already tonight I had a vegan meal at a Mediterranean restaurant that I know they cooked some of the eggplant in the esme... but you know, even if I start counting tomorrow all over again as day one, I know I was doing something completely better for my body than three days ago, so I choose to forgive and go forward with renewed commitment tomorrow! Blessings to all...

Hey Linda How are you?!!!!!! been ages. I was sorry to hear about the slip up but heck we are only human and your getting straight back on the wagon YAY!!!!!!!!! good for you. Take Care. blessings Karen

MissLinda, I'll be praying for you but, don't be so hard on yourself.

For the last month I've been trying to go all raw and was doing good up until last weekend for some reason or another I was just hungry and nothing raw I ate would satisfy the hunger. I stopped by my mom's place to see her and she said she was hungry so I ask her what did she want to eat and she said some barbeque. I love bbq one of my favorite foods. I fitted her in her wheelchair and we headed to Lucille's which is a bbq restaurant in my area. When my full rack of baby back honey glazed ribs came I started to feel quilty but, then I said to myself God does not want me to go hungry and I'm starving. I dung in to my ribs but, to my surprise I ate only a few ribs I had none of it supporting condiments and for dinner I returned to raw and have not been bothered with hunger since. So what I'm saying is maybe you should let yourself go it's not a crime. Eating does not make you some of those awful words you used to describe yourself.

[karenbeel]

Hi Linda so great to have you back on the board again it certainly had been a while thats for sure. I'm not doing to bad still battling so health issues but things are getting easier. I had a non raw slip at the beginning of July but got back on the wagon, so I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND!!!! I am still having my probs with certain foods on the raw diet too but if I keep it simple things are ok. I just think it's a work in progress we do what we can day by day with the knowing that we are on the right track to health & living again.


Karen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad to hear from you.......I had sent you from Kinkos when the "drama" in my life escalated. I hadn't heard back so I thought I was on you X list How are you ??????????????????????

I'm not sure what you mean by "I sent you to kinkos when the "drama" in your life escalated" means, maybe you can explain LOL?. No i certainly had not put you on my X llist why would I do that silly, I thought you had done that to me because of my HUGE!!!!! downfall and I thought maybe you were disappointed in me after all your effort and help. Anyway water under the bridge it is so fantastic to have you back here. Keep in touch not sure if you still have my email or not. Take Care for now.
Blessings to you my wonderful friend. I'm rooting for you!!!!!!
Karen

Oh, sorry to hear, M.Linda :(. It does sound like you are laughing your way through this, though; and I cannot think of a better way to deal with it :D

Are you still running? Meditating?

Jaurequi, my running commarade......much less since my feet, neck/back have been fighting this "stuff"

I see you are fasting again Misslinda? How's it going? What has been the longest fast you have done.

The longest one I did was a (about 4 years ago) 4 1/2 month water fast. It was an amazing experience which I hope to repeat someday.

Kind of a funny story. The last day of this fast I broke it on my first date with my now husband. I ate a few grapes hoping to be able to eat some at dinner. Well we went to dinner and I ordered a simple salad, but was unable to eat more more then a couple bites. Well he thought I wasn't eating because I was trying to impress him by not eating much and he found this very fake and said that almost made him think about not dating me further. Well he soon learned I liked to eat and I later explained what fasting was all about, LOL!

[misslinda]

ILRF, did I hear you say----4 years ago you fasted on only water for 4.5 months????? :eek:

I have been wheening off food naturally and today I fasted until 5:30 pm. Had one meal and tomorrow feels right!

The longest I have ever done was about 43 days. I stopped when my body cued in.

[Sharon in Colorado]

My buddy told me that water fasting was always easier for her than juice dieting. For her it's a spiritual cleansing though, not for health reasons.

I did water for 5 days (in the middle of a 2 week liquid diet) and it HAD to be led by the Holy Spirit, otherwise I could not have done it.

[karenbeel]

Hey Linda, Wonderful to be back in contact too, I MISSED OR TELEPHONE AND MESSENGER CONVERSATIONS. Anyway hope today was a great day and glad to hear you're getting back on track too. Iwas sorry to hear that about your sister I hope she is doing well. Much luck with starting your fast. Talk soon, your friend Karen

[Lay-Lay]

Linda yes! It was in part a life saving process. I was taking herbs during the fast too, but yes just water. I felt awesome. I know in my heart that I would have died if I had not done it. It really felt right for me.

Sharon - I have tried juice fasting many times and I always found it to be harder, although I believe that it is probably healthier from what I have read. I have just never been able to do a juice fast longer then a couple of weeks.

misslinda,

Well you sure had no problem making pancakes,buying vanilla shakes and frappachinos at Stabucks eh???????? That's where all the money went!!!!!!!!!
Well the pancakes were at my nephew house, so I didn't buy that just made them and eat them with my 8yr old nephew - he thought they were good too! :D

But yaw, I blew some good raw food money on some stupid sad stuff - your right about that!

iloverawfoods,

What's that country song?, something like tequilla makes her clothes fall off?
Since I've gone raw my tollerance level would proably be almost nothing. I bet a bottle or 2 of beer would make me drunk or pass out! :rolleyes:

[Lay-Lay]

haha, I love that song, have you seen the video? If you haven't it is a must see! The end is sooo funny.
