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

Good going!

I love DULSE! Especially wrapped around a brazil nut! Sometimes I get the urge to soak it and add it to a salad.

Keep up the good stuff! :)

You are all revved up and ready to go. Good luck with it! You can make it happen. Just think of how great you are going to feel. You can find other substitutes to fill the cravings. Emotional ties to food might be harder to overcome, but not impossible. Remember that is the food that brought us to this point.

If it helps you at all, mac'n cheese (Patti LaBelle style- extra rich before she got diabetes) was one of my favorite foods. Now, the thought of putting it in my mouth is well, gross. Tastes change, yours will, too.

Go for it, Woman! You are in your right mind and in the right place.

You all are too sweet.

Imagine I can't even pull my wedding dress over my head or up my thighs... that's frickin unbelievable.

I posted th pic becasue it's something I never ever do, so I'm thinking it forces a bit more accountability and after three plus years on RFT it gives folks a face to put with all my commentary.

And like many high BMI folks I don''t go around taking a bunch of pics so...

I also fianlly mentioned my actual weight for the first time ever. Much heavier than i was when i first found out about RAW, not sure that I evefr listed it then just the LBS lost/ released.

Agreed - you are beautiful. 6'2" you said in a post - awesome. I am 5'10" and wish I was taller - well not when I am trying to find pants. LOL Lets so it - raw with the new moon. I am breaking in slowly today...

lifeAgift - don't delete these photos! You both look so happy and you are very beautiful and he is so handsome. Don't be so hard on yourself. You are going to love what raw food will do for you both. But keep the pics okay?

I think your idea of weight release goals and material rewards is so exciting! Good for you! I wish you success on your journey.
