The Home Coming!!!!!!! Gawd........!!!

Well..............sigh........gawwwwwwwd.......... ....:(

I'm trying not to bash myself on the head with a cascade of words that I would only use on an enemy!!!!! BUT, it's a challenge.........

For the last 2 summers I have eaten predominately raw, one cooked meal, and the rest raw, raw, and more raw. I felt like I've never felt before in all the categories of body, mind and soul. SO WHY, WHY, WHY, do I stray from a good thing.......:confused: I'm going to find out this time around, one reason is that when it starts to get cold I start the endless loop whine within that I need something warm!

I encourage you to respond to this tiny little log-on, because for now your support is my strength!

Welcome back! The last Leadbelly I knew sure liked to spice his food with the hot sauce before he sang! Never heard of raw then. I used to call myself lead belly but have learned different.

Hi there and a big WARM (((hug))) to ya!

Well, the reason why we ALL sometimes stray from a good thing (namely raw foods) is due to a lot of things be it food addictions, emotional eating/wanting "comfort" foods, etc.

But we always come BACK because we know how good we feel when we eat raw - so this is your first step and a major one!

As for keeping warm, there are many things you can do to ensure having something "warm" inside:

- eat fruit at room temp or if it does come straight out of the fridge, run under some hot water for a bit or just let it sit out
- find a raw soup recipe or two that you like and "warm" that either in the Vitamix by blending longer OR warm on stovetop in a pot just until your finger can sit comfortably in it without being burned
- make dehydrated foods (if you own one) and foods can be "warmed" in there as well
- add "warming" spices to foods such as a pinch of cayenne or ginger
- drink "warmed" but not boiled herb tea or warm lemon water with some agave in it for sweetness

My hair was falling out but I think it was due to bad chemical process.

Hot flashes gone gone gone!
