Still out of control....

[Mindy Sue]

I did a MC for 14 days, and it was awesome. Then a few days later my dh and I got the stomach flu - the thought of raw anything made me want to hurl. Now I have been eating JUNK - PURE JUNK. This has got to stop. So.... I am going to do another MC. The first time the swf did nothing for me, and the tea gave me terrible cramps. I am opting out of the swf.

Is there anyone else that would like to join me say for 14 days? :D

Not up for joining you, but I will keep you in my thoughts and send you Loving energy as you get back on track!

I'm in awe of anyone who can do an MC or any kind of fasting. Fasting is a trigger for me. I lose control when it is over. Someday I hope to make it happen, but for now I'm not going to risk having to deal with the temptation that fasting brings me.

I hope the MC gives you what you are looking for. More power to you, and good raw luck!

I would definitely consider some kind of parasite cleanse while you're fasting (Clarkia, garlic). I used to have the same problem; I could fast, but I would end up bingeing on junk after. For me, it was the worms in my gut that were calling out for unhealthy food. I know it sounds farfetched, but 25 drops of Clarkia or 3 cloves of garlic a day couldn't hurt, right? :)

I am saying this with only love, I'm not judging.

Just STOP!!!!

My sister has a hard time controlling herself when it comes to food. She will do really well for a long time then eat nothing but tons of junk for days. This is what I tell her when she looks to me for support-- STOP!!!

Don't let the food control you. You control the food.

Just my 2 cents.

Good point Cathy. More observation during three years raw. JUST STOP.

Some come into raw and simply carry on their disordered eating.

What are you trying to do? This is still deprivation and bingeing?

This, IMO, is worse for the body than a conventional steady diet of stuff.

Advice? Learn to love yourself and your body just as it is...and the world will open!

I was what I call 100% raw for almost 2 years. So I am not new to being raw. I was fine until I had the stomach flu - while I had the flu I got a viral infection that made the roof of my mouth swell, as well as my gums. The pain was excruciating and radiated throughout my face. It wasn't the master cleanse that caused me to eat junk. It was having the flu and infection for over a week - the thought of raw food made me sick. I did a master cleanse for 14 days and got the flu 4 days later. I just want this to end. I am doing another mc starting tomorrow to get this out of my system.

Good luck to you. I hope you find the healing that you are looking for. Sending lots of love and positive thoughts your way.
