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, that's fantastic! So you are no longer tempted by cooked food! Congratulations! (It gives me hope for the future...)

This is an uplifting entry. Congratulations on your progress! Funny how we sometimes sink back into patterns...it's good to be alert to that.

I had a hard time giving up my 1 cup of coffee in the mornings as well - but I ended up switching to a chai tea instead - at first I still wanted my coffee, but now I don't even give it a second thought~ All in due time like you said~Have a great day! P.S. Great exercise & congrats on the 10#'s released~

Good for you - with deciding on one thing for last night & the rest for today! You should take a picture of your eyes to see if they do change - I did that for future reference. I have gotten a couple comments on my eyes being brighter - one was from a complete stranger - I had told a bit about raw & she said she wondered if I was a vegetarian or something because of my clear eyes! Wow - pretty cool.

Lemon could be good, but I love sweet. Loved the dip. I cheated though. While my cashews were soaking I went to PCC (organic grocer) and found a new product, raw cashew butter. Added water until it was dip consistency, mixed in the dill and herbamare. It was good! (Put my soaked cashews in the fridge. Will make a coconut-cashew creme tomorrow to have with my papaya for breakfast). Thanks for the dip tip.

The dill dip is a little on the sweet side for me, I think a little lemon juice might make it better. Let me know what you think~

I'll bet your a very busy person. I tend to eat less when I'm to active to spend time in the kitchen. Looked up the dill dip. I love cashews! Think I'll go soak some now.

Those sound like good goals! I have been flying by the seat of my pants in the planning area. Last night I had carrot sticks with Alissa's dill dip - not exactly what I would've wanted, but I was starving & it was what I had....Good luck to you!

Wow you were in a challenging circumstance and did great. I'm not so sure I would've been able to pretend at this stage, but you just never know what social circumstances will bring your way. I think your idea is a good one to bring a salad or share a raw dish that you prepare. It sounds like your host was gracious and will also understand your food choices. We sometimes project our fears onto others, usually discovering we were worrying for nothing! Warm hugs.

Sounds like you did great with the circumstances! You will LOVE Alissa's book - I think I read it in 2 days. I will also be trying the alfreddo recipe - let us know what you think of it. Have a lovely day~

great lyrics...i hope the dinner date goes ok. xox
monkapotapus - 05-23-2008 11:28 PM
Hi there~ Are you feeling better tonight? I hope so. How did everything else go today?
citaz - 05-23-2008 08:57 AM
i'm proud of you...stay focused and ride it out. xox

You're welcome! I was going to post on your other journal entry this morning, but didn't have time & when I got to it you had a new one up! You sound like a very put together lady that has all the strength she needs to succeed~
RawKnitster - 05-21-2008 08:29 PM
Thank you monkapotapus
monkapotapus - 05-21-2008 08:23 PM
Sounds like a great plan! Being positive from the get go really helps put things in focus & focusing on health and healing makes it easier to pass up things that aren't to our highest good. Great Job~
