big hug to you! I'm sorry you're having a rough time. It will pass :)

sending you love and light...

Whoa - that is horrible about the discrimination against midwives! It amazes me that it's legal for states to decide that. Maybe someone on this site lives there and will have a resource for you.

Sounds like you are being very conscientious of breaking your fast. That has been the hardest part of fasting for me...which is funny, I thought the fasting would be hard, but it was easy once I got started. Next time I'll take a lesson from you :)

(((hugs)))
Way to go on 7 weeks; that's INCREDIBLE!!!!! I've heard about anti-home birth states and it's so, so, so wrong. The "authorities" stick their noses in way too often where they're just not needed or welcome. It's totally none of their business. If I ever have more children I would definitely want a home birth. I considered it for about 5 min. for my son but I was young and didn't know how to properly research things back then.

How fantastic! Can't wait to hear all about your raw pregnancy :)

Thanks!

Yes, this will be my first all raw pregnancy. I had spells of rawness with my last one but never for any length of time. Also will be my first raw conception! Very exciting!

Congratulations on all fronts! That is fantastic! Is this your first raw pregnancy? I recently read an interesting story about Paul Nison's wife's pregnancy. It almost made me wish it wasn't too late for me to get pregnant again. ;) It was an email so I can't link it here, but I can forward it to you. At least I think I can. You might have to shoot me an email first then I can reply and paste it in.

Best Wishes to you for a happy delivery. :)

Thank you both for your kind words, it really means a lot to me.

Zaph - exactly. If I were not fasting I would be binging, this I know for sure! I am trying not to focus on weight loss. I need to lose weight, and I am, but I have restricted myself to weighing only once a month. So I weighed on Feb 1st and will weigh again on March 1st. I don't want to get fixated on a number, you know?

Thanks!

Contessa, the first time I lost weight I didn't take any measurements or pictures or anything and I wished that I had. It is nice to see where you have come from, because it is too easy to foget how bad you used to be once you are looking and feeling great. I want that reminder. So this time I made it a priority. Which leads me to rawchic...no I have a ton of skinny clothes that I used to be able to fit in that I am slowly pulling out. I was able to get into some stuff that I have not been able to wear in over three years, which was so cool. Still have a long way to go, but I am getting there! Yay!

that is AMAZING. The longest I ever fasted was 34 days and that was pretty ROUGH. This juice feasting is quite easy when I'm not focused on weightloss. Have you found that to be true? Before I was trying to drink as little juice as possible, so I was forever hungry/empty/etc. But now, I can have AS MUCH AS I WANT and therefore have no feelings of deprivation. It's been about a week and a half with no problems. Usu I am STRUGGLING thru this part. I did get on the scale today, but purely out of curiosity and to see if I was losing as fast as I thought. If I am going to do this for 90 days I can't lose too fast, ya know?

I am so proud of you. You are doing an INCREDIBLE job. I know *exactly* what you mean in re: to fasting during stressful times. Some people would probably think that is the HARDEST time to fast, but I am going thru a very emotionally charged time and if I wasn't fasting I would be trying to drown my sorrows in deep fried foods and beer. I like how fasting is so SIMPLE that it takes all of the guess work out of my day, and frees me up to use my energy to make hard decisions, etc.

HOLY PETE!!!!! That is great. I'm so, so, so proud of you.

I wish I had taken my measurements when I started 2 months ago.

wow, that is incredible! have you had to buy all new clothes? have you gotten rid of the old ones?

wow, I can't believe how the time has flown by on your fast! Thanks for continuing to post about it - your strength is encouraging :)

Thank you, your so sweet!

Keep up the good work! I'm so impressed by the work that you are doing.
