jumped off the band wagon big time!

Again.

I did it again! Wahhhh!!

I ate baked corn chips from the health food store. There is no fat added, just corn and salt. However, it's not raw and I had been on a raw streak for two years, then boom.... first it was popcorn, my fave. Then it was ezekiel bread. Now, it's baked tortilla chips!!! It feels sorta like I'm sinking now. Not only did I have one corn chip...... I ate the enitre bag..... and feel sorta sluggish and so very sad right now. Why can't I stay on this raw path again?

sorry about this complaining of mine, but I feel I must tell somebody so thanks for listening to me.

Too bad their are no suitable raw substitutes for popcorn and corn chips, then my problems might be abated somewhat....

I had issues just the other day with snacks and stuff. Lots of people on this board recommended stuff...I went to the following website because the freeze dried corn is technically raw and is supposed to be super yummy. I ordered some stuff and it should be here on Friday. Go here: www.justtomatoes.com

Also try www.oneluckyduck.com - It is all raw and supposed to be really good. I ordered some chocolate stuff from there as well. :)

Best wishes...oh yah, I forgot to tell you that you are an inspiration to me. You fell off the wagon...start again, no biggy. It is just something that you have to "forgive" yourself for because clearly it bothers you because you were doing so well prior to slipping up...really, you are doing so well!

Just let go! It's all wonderful. The bigger picture is your desire to eat with mindfulness. It's great! Awesome! Fabulous! I find that once we say we "can't" then we want to - it's all about choice. What will this make you - 98.5% raw - there is no Raw Food Police. I had brown rice the other day and loved it. It was yummy and my body liked it. Depending on so many factors eating a little something once every (did you say two years!) is not awful.

Smiles your way..

Please don't take this the wrong way... but I would not get your underwear in a bundle over some baked chips. It's just not worth it...

I really truly think the key to the Raw journey is not how we deal with success but how fast we deal with the *slips.* Everyone has *slips* & I honestly don't believe them if they said they did not. ;)

My gosh-2 years...You are my HERO.... :) :D :)

Don't beat yourself up & move on & you'lll be fine...

You are so welcome... I hope you did not take offense to my *underwear in a bundle* comment* -as it's a *family joke.* :D

Seriously-this is a journey & beating ourselves up over what we eat is not the way to go about anything.

I have adopted a new plan of *flipping the switch* from negative thinking about anything to positive thinking. It is working and I feel so good about me. ;) Feeling good about YOU, that is the most important part of this journey. :)

All my best...
