    I believe that weekends are the most difficult time of all because we generally have at least one whole day to relax. Relaxing in our home means take out, so I have one day I don't have to cook. That means temptation. And there you have it. :)

    Weekends are tough for me so it's nice to hear of your progression! I managed two raw spring rolls on Saturday so that's something :)

    "Feeling to good to be discouraged" Can't tell you how much I appreciate that statement! Hope you have a great day!

    Hey, do this.... Put a sign on your frig that says "100". That will remind you of your goal every time you go to get something to eat!!! Let me know if that works for you!!!!

    And I LOVE that Pizza, too!!!!! It's REALLY good!!!! I can totally relate to what your Hubby does! Mine does the same thing. He brought me some raw Pecans the other day....knowing I'm off nuts! My kids would be completely raw if he didn't bring home fast food for them or SAD pizza. Aleesha Is blessed not to have that problem...

    Men....if we can put one on the moon why can't we put them all there!!!!!

    LOL yes I do! I kept thinking...I'm that short to everyone!?!?! But as they still tease me as adults at work, I guess I am. Yes, I know the goal seems extreme, but I simply have let myself get out of control for a good long while now. This is the largest I have ever been even during pregnancy. But I am making strides to correct. Wish my body were as toned as Shawn's too...but I digress. :P LOL

    I'm 5'1", so I'm height challenged too!!! Do you watch DWTS? Derrick kept calling Shawn Johnson short and it was making me mad!!! :-)

    But what that does also speak volumes to is how very very uncomfortable I am in my own skin tight now. I'm happy to be back to Raw.

    Exactly! 4'9" and 1/2 an inch! Lol. That is great. My weight goal gives away my shortness. Lol. Last time raw I was down to 113 pounds. Still had some to go. That is also why my quantities are less. I simply don't require a lot of calories. ;)

    Really, your goal weight is 100lbs??? Wow!!! Are you like 4'9" or close to that? 100lbs seems REALLY low to me....

    Good morning banana. :). I'm glad you are doing well and figuring things out. I'm glad to see you back here.

    Yay! I was so proud of myself. :) my hubby brought home chicken wing pizza. I didn't have a bite. When I walked in the door my mother in law had dropped off homemade Mac and cheese. NOT a bite. I've got to tell you, that was rough, but I'm still here raw!!!!

    That's too funny, was just thinking of fasting till dinner and then having a giant salad with something undetermined after. Let me know how you feel tomorrow from it!
    I will totally try this tomorrow, sounds too yummy to resist! ...and I find when you don't eat and are good and hungry the food tastes so much better. :)

    Hey Shelshel!
    My life is slowly getting realistic, lol....eyeing up raw for sure and working it in. Encouraging to see how you are doing. :)

    Really! Hummmmm....then I would never eat! LOL Stress has become my life...it is a season, this too shall pass.

    Walnutty swears by not eating at all when stressed.
  18. ShelShel's Avatar
    Yes, actually. :) but yesterday was extremely stressful and not a lot of time. ;). I was just thrilled that I stayed raw in the midst. But good idea!
  19. ReneeH's Avatar
    Shel, you don't seem to be eating enough to me... If I ate like as minimal as that it would send me to binge... Do you ever make gourmet meals from Alissa's or anyone's book?
