Ok...here we go! I'm back baby! LOL

Breakfast: cashew milk/ banana/ strawberry smoothie
Lunch: several cups of kale, several cups of broccoli, one orange, a small handful of raisins and walnuts with a homemade raw orange/ACV/olive oil & sea salt dressing
Dinner: raw pancakes with berries
late night snack: almonds and raisins

A great menu, easy...;)
I'm going to look through all my raw books and get a couple meals ready for the week to come. I'm going to stock up on all my raw treats and be ready for those cravings when they do come.

Determination is not all that I've been lacking...I've needed support and I've got that again now. I love my hubby! Here we go. I can't wait to report I'm wearing a size one again. I'm currently busting out of my size 8's! I could cry, but I won't let myself get discouraged. I'm on the right path and it will come off really fast.
(((HUGS)))

PS...I'm only 4'9.5", so a size one is not an unrealistic size, I have been there before and still not looked skinny.

    p.s. I'm short too, so I know what you mean about sizes being different for us. nobody tall seems to understand that

    I know that when ever my brother asked me how much I weighed at my thinnest, I would say the high side of what I should weigh and he would freak out. They are just used to me being 50 or so pounds overweight...I'm sure the 25 pounds or so that I've gained back...made them all think I was healthier, but I'm not. I should weigh closer to 95 pounds, not the 117 everyone was going nuts about. At about 140...something...I'm very uncomfortable again.

    It's just great motivation. I love raw when I can afford it. Thank you God...I can afford it again.

    exactly! I was 128, now I'm at 117, and I'm aiming for 105-110 which people automatically think "is way too skinny" without giving any regard to someone's height and frame size.
    I get so fed up with the attitude from my friends who are aiming for 150 - they are like, "whatever, you're already 117 so you have nothing to complain about, I'd be bursting with joy if I was 117." Hello! you're like 8 inches taller than me - it's not the same!
    I wish there was a ratio we could give so that it was equal for everyone. There's obviously body mass index, but that's not something you can measure on your own.
