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

I feel like a total failure. I feel like I have all the knowledge in my head and the will to do this, yet I find my self yesterday, completely falling off the wagon in a big fat way.

I've got to keep focused on avoiding that first bite, because I know it's all downhill from there.

I have my fridge stocked up, raw foods at the ready, yet I still fucked it up at work yesterday. Maybe I need to bring food to work to sneak on when I'm hungry and not busy, instead of sneaking off into the walkin to stuff a muffin down my throat. I work as a waitress so I am around cooked foods all day long and on most days I cannot take a break so I am busy and working my ass off, when I get off work I just want to eat! I have been good about making myself a big fat raw salad at work at the end of my shift. I think the problem is when it is slow, I have a tendency to want to eat for some reason. I need to find something to fill that time other than eating.

What I'm going to do for today focus completely on what I eat and try my hardest to not have that first bite and if I do to get right back on it and not say "oh well, I'll just start tomarrow." Today is a new day!!

I'm going to look into some books on the pyschological aspect of eating, as I know I have many issues and addictions to deal with as well.

I would take some food w/me to sneak and eat to keep myself satisfied. Working around food is tough. When you look at a plate of food/remember how bad it makes you feel. You are determined to do and well and that's good. :)

It's so hard to change a habit! I used to have a SAD snacky pattern going on and it really is tortuous. I felt trapped by my cravings! I say, don't deny yourself the time to make new patterns and habits. Likewise, don't waste an ounce of energy on worrying about the past, even if the past is just earlier today! Use that energy to get creative. What could you bring or fix at work to make a new eating habit? What advice would you give a friend in this dilemma? Be kind to yourself!

Oh man, I can't imagine trying to serve all that cooked food and seeing people eat it, and then trying not to eat it yourself! That really has to add an extra challenge to all of this. Don't beat yourself up too much, just keep looking for solutions! You don't deserve to feel bad over this :)
