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

A friend reminded me tonight that, "A failure is not the end, if it teaches you how to begin again more intelligently."

Wishing you joy and blessings!

Glad you had such a wonderful & easy day!!

I find for me, the more stuff I have prepared for meals & making sure my dishes are always washed - really help to make my days a lot smoother....there's always something to reach for & whatever clean dish I need~:)~monk~

Hmm, bottling motivation...what a money maker that would be!!

I find, that whenever I am in a good spot, or really want to be in a good spot...I have to prepare myself for the day to come then sit and think about all the good that happened to me today.

I actually have a special journal that I can do appreciations in...BUT I expanded it recently to end of the day - five things that happened throughout my day that made me feel good about myself, made me happy, made me smile. It is forcing me to look at the GOOD in my life and the happier I am, the more motivated I am!

I'm thinking it's about keeping your eye on the ball? ...long enough till it becomes habit and second nature to do it, atleast. Which is a tough gig sometimes in our world! :)

None of us can do it alone. That's why we're here!! I'm trying again too. Again and again. Better than not trying - right:) Lots of oldies back this month!
Shine - 01-30-2011 02:10 PM
Me too - back!! No one of us here is alone. Blessings to you!

Welcome back! It's amazing how we know what's good for us and still don't do it. Sometimes it just seems so much easier to give in. I spend a LOT of time on this forum right now because it gives me the motivation I need, along with lots of ideas. For whatever reason, it helps to see and know that others are struggling too. I have personally found that planning ahead, even if it's just for the day, helps me tremendously. When I've already made plans for my eating, it's harder to find excuses to make bad choices. Good luck on your journey!

So good to see you lodestar!!!!!
It makes me happy to hear that you are happy~:)
I am so glad that what you are doing is working for you. That is a HUGE accomplishment to be able to only eat when you are hungry - so big!!!
I am so proud of you!! I always love seeing your happy balloon picture - makes me smile everytime~
Please don't be a stranger here, I miss you!!!~(((((HUGS)))))~monk~
