I signed up to do the challenge, never been raw before. I lurk here everday, sometimes so much I don't get my work done!:) However I just need to toot my raw horn today. I made it through the weekend easily with a birthday party and dinner out twice with friends. Not having any cake at the party was a hurdle for me, it's quite a trigger food . I just didn't allow myself to even look at it or SMELL it. On Sunday nights I have dinner with five other gals and we usually have Mexican which of course IS my favorite. Last night I didn't look at the cheese dip or the chips and I ordered a salad with extra veggies. I know for some of you that would have been no big deal but for me it was HUGE!!!! However today I am craving food I haven't eaten in years!!! It seems to be fleeting cravings. It pops in my head and then on to the next food of the minute. I am sticking with lots of fruit and veggies today.

I love all of the support this board gives. All of you are wonderful, keep up the posting( I live for it!!) and we will all finish August strong!

Yes, sometimes it is tempting to give in to the foods we see others eating, but once you have been on raw for awhile, those foods will not even interest you. AND if you do find yourself craving cake or cookies, there are so many tasty recipes like raw cake that are delicious.
