I want to thank everyone who has participated in this RawFoodTalk.com forum. There have been some amazing exchanges here and so many words of wisdom spoken. But its time for me to close this board. I am moving on to new ventures and feel that its time for me to let this go. A forum of this size takes loads of money, time and energy. I have not been keeping up with the forum upgrades, the spam problems, etc…. which is resulting in many disgruntled emails and people calling the office daily. I’m sorry to disappoint the many of you who have spent your time and wonderful words of help and inspiration here. I hope that you have all benefited from this board and that it has helped you on your path to optimal health. I know many of you have made lasting friendships here as well. I will leave this board up for a month of so, so that you may copy what you need and any information you would like to save.

Thank you for being part of the RawFoodTalk.com community! It’s been a wonderful ride! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for all of you and of course, you can keep up with my adventures through my blog, Facebook and twitter. I am continuing my certification trainings and there will be some exciting new classes, events and projects coming into fruition in the near future!

All my best,
Alissa

Wow, I'm soooo thankful to have the relationship I do. Easy to take for granted, but hearing about your "house guest" is a good reminder!! Sounds like you really have to run around to get all your raw foods!! Hey, someone needs to open a RAW grocery store chain!!! Wouldn't that be awesome? No lable reading or guessing! YES! :)

lol!! I had the same thought about the margins when I saw them - but you should see my book now - all kinds of notes written in the margin - tweaks on the recipes - what I added - how I changed things... yea - now I can understand why she put those huge margins! ;) So glad you're doin better now!! blessings!

I haven't read any of the HP books ... but I guess they're worth the hype! You sound like you're doing great! Keep Rawking!

He he...I want the HP3 book. I have read all the others and loved them. I like the Dr. Phil quote. I am going to have to remember that when I start making excuses. :)

My first day was really hard for me too! Oh the cravings!

Anna, if your not diggin' the green smoothies, try Lydia's Raw Organics. This company is wonderful... all raw/sprouted/soaked. The crackers have been WONDERFUL with my cravings!!! You can order them online- www.lydiasorganics.com or call to order (415) 258-9678. My fav- Sunflower Seed Bread, Italian crackers and the Mango/coconut/pineapple Raw bar. :)

Hi Anna! I REALLY love the Green Lemonaide (Kale, Celery, 2 Apples, 1/2 Lemon)!!! It helps me with cravings, especially during the day when I "snack" the most... Try it! You'll love it too!!!

which ever way you decide -the fact is that you do have the experience and the wisdom of 11 days behind you now - and it will continue to get easier and easier! so... INCH + YOU (anna) = SUCCESS.... ;) it truly is a lifestyle ... not a DIE'it!
StarFire - 07-24-2007 07:08 PM
I loved that you returned to raw! lol! kinda cute actually!! ;) Some of the rawbies that have a blip in the road to raw - often don't count the day as part of the 30 - they'll re-do the day (or do an extra day) keep going forward. But I think it's important that you do what will work for you. If you need to start completely over - than by all means - do so! Remember this is your journey -you path and you must find your balance!

Progress, not perfection. Take care of yourself and be gentle. I think SAD eating is a way to cover our emotions sometimes. Maybe that's what you were doing. Well, that's the case with me. Peace.

lil rasiaca... naaaaaaa ... you jes keep on goin... 30 day challeng is still on - do you REALLY think we'd let you escape that easy?? ... never!!! .... ;)

Liserpiece - 07-23-2007 11:47 AM
HA! I think we all have done this :) Don't start "over", it's just a hiccup, nothing more!! I think the challenge is more about becoming raw, not perfecting it. You are just FINE! No need for an ass kickn' :)
