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

Okay, so today I am focusing on preparing myself for an upcoming fast/feast w/Knitster.

So, here's my plan:

Today (Tues) and Tomorrow (Wed) will be light eating of salads and fruit .... I am going to focus on only eating 3 meals B, L, & D and no snacking inbetween.

If I have any nuts it will be on my salads and no more then a TBLS. If I absolutely have to have a snack it will only be 1 small apple and a 1/2 grapefruit.

Then on Thursday, Friday, and Satuday I will skip Breakfast........just lemon water and have a Green Smoothie for lunch and another for Dinner or a small salad........no snacking at all.

So, on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday I will only do Juices and Green Smoothies. That will be my fast.

Then after that I will return back to eating the same way but, in reverse! :)

I also plan on working out everyday and keeping myself busy by working with the animals-horses and cleaning out my closets.

Please - Pray for me!

I am going to do my Affirmations and Positive thinking on I can do this. It's only 3 days of no eating and the other light eating part is only 6 days........

Then I'm hoping to be back on a better eating track with no binge-eating or mindless eating.

I like your plan! You're going to do great - I have confidence in you :)
One tip that helped me - whenever I was about to break, I would journal about it first. I would tell myself, "okay, I can eat that, but first I have to write about it." By the time I wrote out the reasons I wanted the food, I realized the reasons were useless and I didn't really want the food.

I am rooting for you. Lots of times it is mind over matter for me and the eating thing when I am on a fast. I like to pull out my crafting and keep my mind busy so that way there is less idle time to be tempted. Lots of water too helps toxins leave and make you feel full.

Great suggestion - Rawchic! So far so good. I'm having my lunch at 3pm. This morning I had a Banana at 10am. I did have 1 baby carrot in between and said "Hey what are you doing?" I thought I was going to make lunch and decided to wait. I need not snack while preparing my food also.
I'm going to make some modifications to my plan in second here.
I'm waiting for the Vet to get here at 4pm. My poor Bridget is itchy and she may have allergies.......is what the Vet thinks. I think she has yeast/fungus. So, she's going to take a sample of skin and test her.

Yes, Melissa. I need to have projects. I'm planning on working out through out and I can start organizing my closets finally and maybe start painting the house if we can afford some paint. ;) hehehe

I'm really looking forward to doing this together. I'm convinced it is the right thing at the right time and we will both get everything we are looking for from it. It has taken a long time to get here. I can feel success at hand.

How is poor Bridget tonight?

Me too - Knitster! I did good today. How did you do? I am really thinking, talking, and writing about it.

My sweet Bridget did really well. It will take a week to get the biopsy back and find out what is going on with her. The Vet will want to do traditional medicine and I don't like that but, don't have an alternative at this point.
