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 took a break for a while. I gained a ton of weight I now weigh 161 lbs never before except pregnant. I am not sure how I did this. I am kicking myself so hard (kick,kick, kick_). I am trying to find my balance with my diet. My husband stresses me out and I eat. Now I started taking my Pr-ac again. Everytime I stop taking it I fall on my face with my diet. I just hate living on this stuff. Why can't I be normal. I want to start another fast green smoothie and juice 1 day to start.

What is Pr-ac?

I am going to start on the 30 days raw thread March 1st...it seems like a fairly active spot. Maybe you can join us? Be careful of the diving in thing...it causes flip-flopping in some people. If that's you, a wading in approach might be better. ...just a thought from someone who has dove in and out and in and out and gained 50 lbs of fat doing it. :S

Tracey; The important thing is that you are back!!!
Many people are emotional eaters...myself included. You have to remember that when you eat out of anger, you are empowering that emotion. Some people find a replacement behavior...like taking a walk or punching a wall...just kidding.. but you need to come up with something that will help you get past those frustrating times. Another important aspect to sticking with any goal is to talk nicely to yourself. One affirmation that has helped me during my short time with the raw life style is "I am more powerful than I know." You can come up with your own nice message to yourself strength.
Rewarding yourself for your achievements is also helpful. I think Alissa recommends keeping a journal. This is a place to not only record your food and liquid intake, but your emotions that go along with the journey. You probably know all of this!

Forgive yourself and move on. Life is too short to be kicking yourself for little bloops.
Hope this helps.
In Peace,
Juli

Hey there I am in the same boat as you. Around the same weight as well. It's hard with the stresses life throws at you, but what Juli said is right... what matters is that you are back. Don't kick yourself, congratulate yourself for knowing where you should be. You aren't giving up and you are pushing through. You're going to be fine!
