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

Yeah!! (pat on back) I've made it to day 5!!

Ok, lets see yesterday I feel like I ate all day BUT.....It was ALL raw!!! I made a different variation of the salad I had made the night before. I just couldn't stop eating...my compulsion kicking in, but at least it was all raw and not all the drive throughs down the street. I am looking at the positive aspect of it. I need to buy a scale. I have not had a scale before because they depress me. Getting on one only to have it tell me "you are fat" lol not something I want to be reminded of. However, I have to change all my thinking process and look at it differently. I need to look it as simply a tool to help me know where I am and to help me see the progress (or lack of) I am making. Also I think I try to escape from accountability.. I need the scale to face that I am accountable for my progress and/or lack of. Problem here is I have to learn how to not beat myself up if I don't have progress and to be proud of myself for any progress. I have to remind myself everyday that it is a daily, hourly, minutely, and secondly (don't think those are words but..)For me they mean alot because it is an every second struggle. My compulsion has me thinking of food 24/7. This site and all the awesome people here are what are empowering me to keep going, to persevere and to just be happy to be proud of every little successes I have in my journey in the raw life. I love raw,I enjoy it. I also love everything else food. lol it's ok if I slip, I am going to strive to not slip just for today. Yesterday one of the hardest challenges for me is when I microwaved some chicken enchiladas for hubby. It could have gone the wrong way and I could have had at least one. I didn't...I am proud of myself for not, but that is why I kept eating my salad...I made it through that. I wish I didn't have to cook for him but it's ok. I can't shield myself from life. I have to face it. I feel lack of energy but I think it is just because I have not taken my thyroid medication in awhile. I need to get a job soon!
Ok, I'm off to the kitchen to get my left over salad..........
I ask God everyday to give me strength and power over my food choices...and I thank God for all the wonderful people that are helping me and pray that God helps everyone in the same boat as I am we all deserve good things..:)

Jeannie - I eat (most of the time) all day. A little carrot here, maybe a flax seed cracker there, a piece of fruit - a fudge ball (or two or three)... but -- like you so wonderfully pointed out - Hey - at least its raw! I made myself a salad once got full and then kept taking it out of the fridge and eating bits and pieces until it was gone!! So - I understand!! You are doing fantastic!!
