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

I know the feeling!!! My favorite quick fix when I feel like that is chopped up broccoli or cauliflower, tomatoes, other veggies that I have on hand, etc. and mush an avocado into all of it to make it really mushy! Then I add whatever "taste" sounds good. Italian herbs or spicy stuff or soy sauce/tamari for an asian taste!
Have fun on your run!!!

Hang in there, I know it can be difficult. I agree that overeating is overeating whether raw or SAD but don't be hard on yourself it will get easier. Have you thought of some activities to do in place of the cravings?

you could also make fudge balls to take with you to work to snack on. they are quick and easy to transport!

I really enjoy bowling too! We have one bowling alley on the island and it's about 1 hour away -- and always PACKED!!! you'd definitely have a hard time finding open lanes on either side of you!! ;)

I agree! Sometimes we forget to just have a few of the heavier things.
I have some soaked Almonds that I dried in the dehydrator and than dipped them in RAW COCoa mixed with RAW Agave & rolled them in coconut shreds... If I am not careful I will eat them all tonight! Thanks for the reminder!! HUGS&PEACE Carrassa

OOO... love the new avatar pic!!! I'm excited for the warm weather too!!! I think the only thing so far that I didn't survive so well was when I overate baby carrots and almond butter... OMG... I couldn't even LOOK at another baby carrot for MONTHS!!!

Of course you can get back on track. Dates and nuts are still better than a bag of cheetos (a former food group in my life). Stay strong girl!

lol. I've got my Rx for Malarone prepared for my trip to Africa this summer!
annieH - 01-01-2008 07:09 PM
The first thing I thought was yeah 2 weeks in an exotic place sounds great until you get malaria. I've never had cooked deserts as good as raw. The super candy ~ amazing. Cheezecake - better than cooked. No worries about the over-do, life IS too short for worries.

HAVE FUN!!! Oh I miss dancing in places other than my living room sometimes....
ladyfiremedic5 - 12-30-2007 10:55 PM

You didn't fail - you are right. During this journey - it is important to do everything with wisdom and make all of our decisions based on what is OVER ALL best for us -- sometimes 'sticking to a fast for __ days' isn't always the best thing for us... so using wisdom is always to be commended! Rawk on lil Amanda... you are AMAZING girl... January is going to be an awesome month for you!! ;)
