    I completely understand you. Reminds me of what I had to go through. I was with my ex for 5 years and everything was just not right. When we broke up I wanted him to want me back so bad and there was a time when we did get back together and things were just not right again. Like he was with me just to be with me, but there just wasn't the passion and love i deserved.

    So finally what helped me get over him was just going on random dates and getting to know other people in my area and God really. I volunteered a lot at my church and serving other people. Sometimes it's hard to get over people when we are not making our life exciting.

    NOW he calls me all the time and I just ignore most of his calls and I have a new man. =-)

    Excellent post - thank you. That sense of loss is one of the things I "fear" in going 100% raw. It sounds funny to say I'm scared of going all raw. Makes much more sense to say I'm scared of the sense of loss I may feel. Thanks again.

    Great post! Early on online, it was more like that. Or at least it felt that way to me. It really does seem more relaxed now... go at your own pace, carve your own path. Again, it may just be a place I've come to. Like RawKnitster, it's so good to finally not worry what people think.

    I'm so glad you saved your entry. I can relate to those feelings. There are snobs in all walks of life, even raw. Don't let it get to you. I did for awhile. Now I tell myself, I'm comfortable enough with my choices to not care what others do or what they think of me.

    I can help you with the draft thing. When you have finished editing your draft scroll down the page to miscellaneous options. Click on the box next to Publish Status and change the status from draft blog entry to Publish now. The next time you save it will publish. Hope that helps.

    Good luck on the 30 day challenge! :)

    I love your questions! And that you are sharing your food. There really is MORE variety possible on this diet than most people even consider eating! Awesome post.

    I am sorry you are down, but it sounds like you did and think you did the right thing so you will find someone to share your life with. I know you will.

    Me too! We started remodelling a couple of years ago and the house has become more and more chaotic and messy, and I just did not have the energy to deal with it. Right at this moment my 8yo daughter and I are sorting through an absolute mountain of clothes, and just this last week I tackled her and her brother's room and our family room, where a lot of the remodelling stuff had been stored and it was a total disaster. I have hauled a ton of stuff to Goodwill and given away much more. It feels GREAT.

    I'm doing the same thing, going through the recipes here page by page. I find I really need these recipes to help keep me raw, but I know in a pinch I can always just make a salad. You're right, we're going on this raw journey together! :)

    You're going to just great this time, cos now you know what it's like when you leave raw behind and start feeling like pooh. I was reading somewhere that "eating live foods creates a live body and eating dead foods creates a dead body". I know none of us want a dead body........

    I look forward to reading many more of your blogs

    I've also been asking myself why I gave up Raw last time when I felt so good, and how I got into such bad eating habits again. But like you said, the important thing is not the past but the fact that we are here and committed to the highest vision for our lives. I'm also feeling those exact same emotions - anxiety, hope, happiness...
