I normally have very vivid dreams while fasting. I am glad you are having a great fast !

glad to hear the fasting is feeling good! How many days are you doing? that's nice that the retreat was close enough that you could just go home. I agree, that sounds much nicer :)

Awesome! It's hard to admit, sometimes our parents were right.

I need to work on not eating at night too! If you figure out anything that helps you kick the habit, let us know.

thankyou!!

Have you been reading Aleesha's blogs? She is very inspiring and you have that same gift. I hope you get everything your looking for from the juice/water fast. Happy New Year!

Wow what a terrific gift to give to your body- a juice feast! How wonderfully you glow!

What a great way to start a new year. :)

Wow - that sounds incredible! I want to come too :)
Can't wait to hear all about it after you get back!

I live in the country so trying to find something other than common fruits (apples, grapes, oranges) I have to do a lot of research and a little driving. I have ordered fruits online before and my experiences with it was not good, fruits were way too green and did not ripen well, or were too ripe and spoiled too quickly.

Do you have a Costco warehouse in your area, or an Asian or International food market? Those places always have awesome fruits with good prices. Costco had persimmons last week by the tray when I went. Good luck

I love persimmons too! I just tried them for the first time a couple weeks ago. I've been wanting to try durian too, but haven't found it here (Seattle) yet. hmm...I haven't tried ordering produce online before. I'm interested to see how other people respond.

I'm doing a 3 day water fast too! Don't be discouraged by what has happened in the past. This time can be the time that is different. You sound very prepared and committed!
Here is an article that totally grossed me out about dairy. Maybe it will help :)

Thanks for your good comments on my blog....Organic usually does taste better! I like to journal on paper, too. Typing is quite associated with work for me. Writing with a pen or pencil is like drawing and I really like to draw. Amazing that we get pretty good strawberries most any time of the year. The Mexican ones are in season now.

Good plan!

Sorry to hear about your psoriasis. I hope you get rid of it soon, and hopefully, forever!

Hang in there! Keep with the raw and it will start to get better. My skin has dramatically improved since I went raw. What kinds of products are you using? Remember that your skin is your largest organ and everything you put on it is absorbed. I try to use the most natural products I can find - making sure to stay away from anything that has parabens, fragrances, and other toxins.

good for you! I wish I could say the same - I gave in and had some chips last night. I had been out for drinks with a friend and wanted something salty when I came home. I didn't have anything raw that was salty, so I dug into the chips. Darn! Oh well, today is a new day & I'm not going to let it get me down. I just need to find something raw & salty to keep in my cupboard for next time.

thanks for your support! It is so great to have others to share this stuff w/ who really really understand & live it!

Renee is right, we all do something we meant not to do. Your realization and self awareness are key to making any big change and you have got them! Congrats on the weight loss, yay!

Tracy & RawKnitster - you both did marvelously. Good for you both! That is sort of what I'm going through tonight - I am so hungry but teeth are brushed and flossed and I am too tired to make anything at all so I will ride it out.
