Well, I'm still here... Had a bad night though... Yesterday when I stepped on the scale and saw that I weighed exactly what I weighted a week ago, I really became depressed and gave in to a slice of pizza... I'm not happy with that, but now I must go on...

Unfortunately, I can't get rid of the scale because it's my Hubby's and he uses it, so I put the scale under his side of the bed so he can pull it out when he wants to use it and I can't see it to tempt me to get on it. Sorry, that's the best I can do...

Today I feel like I really don't know WHAT to eat! Everything I seem to think of has nuts or avacado in it and I think I'm eating too much of those. I made some of Alissa's corn chips in the dehydrator last night, so I'm gonna make some salsa and have that for a snack today. I am going to drink some green juice this morning and have a salid in the afternoon. I have no earthly idea what to eat after that. I don't want to worry about it, but I know I'm gonna get hungry towards the end of the day and if I don't plan something I just know I'm gonna fold again to cooked food. So, I'm gonna check the site here for some suggestions...

You guys are such a tremendous help to me! I'm a work in progress, so I'm not going to give up on myself!

    Keep the faith, you are doing great. I have not lost any weight for some time, and only 5 pounds my first 30 days..but I had avo every day and that may have been one of the reasons. So now I am eating some yummy stuffed mushrooms, put a little carrot hummas inside and some spinach and basil pesto on top, let it sit for a while and then devour..with some brocolli slaw and an essene bread/cracker. Filled me up just fine. Good Luck Sweet Renee ;) :) :)

    The best thing for me is a blender, with fruit smoothies. I buy almond milk (not entirely raw, but oh well) and I mix strawberries, grapes, water, ice and a little almond milk and that's breakfast. You can eat apples, oranges, melons, great spinach salads. I also keep a big bowl of cut-up fruit in the fridge. Glad you came back on the board, even though you are frustrated!

    Thanks you guys!!! I LOVE the suggestions! Hey Elfie, how do you make the Carrot hummus and the Broccoli Slaw?

    Hey ReneeH, :) the brocolli slaw is from the supermarket, has matchstick strips of broc stalk, carrots, red cabbage. The other products I order from Glaser Farms, their farmers market is on Saturday and I am always busy that day. So, I order it shipped over night. The carrot hummus is just ground carrots, olive oil, salt, garlic and parsley. i plan to have a go when my blender arrives. Good luck

    Hang in there, Renee! My scale hasn't budged in a week either! What really fills me up is a big smoothie for breakfast and a huge salad for lunch. After that, I'm rarely hungry for dinner. For myself, I'm trying to limit the heavier raw foods, such as the really rich dehydrated recipes with a lot of nuts. I always keep raw jicama on hand, which is crunchy and juicy and nearly calorie-free, along with being very filling! You'll break through... keep going!

    Okay... I'm gunna ask the doodie question!! LOL!! How are your bms? If you are not having 1 to 2 bm's a day - you will retain that gunk inside you and retain weight. I know went thru a time when my bms were not regular and I not only gained weight -but couldn't lose it until I got my bms working properly. You can be eating the healthiest food in the world but if your bms are not working properly - you won't lose weight bcuz the poisons stay stuck inside you. ;)
