If At First You Don't Succeed.....

[mommamia]

Hello:

I was on the boards a little under a year ago. I went raw last December and did wonderful for four months. I was a new woman!! But I slowly over the summer spiralled into more cooked and junk food eating. The results: bad skin, back to depression, irritability, panic attacks and rage.

So here I am again at the end of my rope. For some reason I am resisting doing what I know works. I am resisting raw. I've been knowing I need to come back here for encouragement yet I hesitate. I can't seem to get out of my own way. The long and the short of it is I know that I need to go back on medication or go raw. I'm at the crossroads.

So here I am perusing the boards gleaning encouragement and a renewed sense of commitment. I thought I"d re-introduce myself. It's nice to see some of the same faces still going strong. I am amazed at how great you're all doing (rawpreistess AMAZING!) and it's great to see so many new motivated people....I can almost NOT hear that pizza calling my name....

So, here is to gaining some mentors and climbing the ladder of raw transition.

Mommamia - Welcome back! You have taken the first step - coming here and realizing how well you feel when raw. That is great! You CAN do this. You proved it doing it before.
Gosh - choice of meds or raw? That isn't even an option - IMHO!!
Get rid of all the crap out of your house and load up on good stuff. Then you will have NO choice but to go raw. Re-read Alissa's book. Visit here often. You know the drill. Drink green smoothies - they are fast, furious, and filling! Read, read, read instead of eating!
Read all the testimonials - RP, Eveleaf's (raw for seven months post) and everyone else's.
You CAN do this.

Welcome back! I think perseverance is a skill that we all need to learn. So why not practice with Raw? :) I believe each time we try raw again it seems to "stick" more and more until it finally becomes more natural and just a part of who we are.

We're all here to support each other. :)

Thanks for the support!!

I like what Pierre said (or quoted) "Let food be your medicine"


wise words, those!

Again, it is a Journey and you got off the Main Road and got stuck on a side road in a sandTRAP. It has taken you a while to call 911 but since you have, Help is on the Way.

Now just JUMP out of that sandTrap and get back on the Main Road and lets Journey on. Get your Food Proccesor out and start chopping. You see when you have things prepared, don't hesitate, just go eat it. Don't start tiniking about what you have a taste for.

Just fill your Belly with RAW and let your junk food thought spoil. YOU ARE THE MASTER OF YOUR FATE.........

I wish you everything you need to Stay RAW....Welcome to MY World...........
