I'm new to this thread - but I am loving reading all of the posts.
I have had eating disorder trouble in the past and still struggle with it. I found great clarity on previous MC and miss the freedom of it. I am hoping raw eating will help make this challenge easier as well.
I want to do the thirty day challenge starting tomorrow. I want to do this next week raw - Mother's Day I have eating obligation so I am hoping there will be raw options.
The day after mother's day I plan to start the MC. I did 4 days recently and felt too tired so quit. I am no longer going to be as busy so I should be able to handle it. I miss it!
Is anybody else planning on starting the MC on this date?

Wow! I wish I could wait until then, but I'm feeling pretty desperate to start the MC. I was planning on starting tomorrow. I went for about 56 days 100% raw, and then ate cooked food for 3 days straight. I feel like I need to go to desperate measures to stop myself. I had binge eating disorder since about the age of 13... with periods in between now & then where I could control it. I went for years without a binge, but seems like it only takes one to get it all going again! Anyway, just thought I would pop in and say good luck this week! So glad you're here!

Day 2 Raw - I'm enjoying using fruits and Veg. in a different way. You have to be so much more imaginative when raw! Otherwise it is too boring. This morning I had a glass of grapefruit juice and a little cantalope. I just had a banana, ground flax and almond, carob powder, coconut flaxes and cashew butter all mixed up together. OMG! SO good! I"m having fun with this. I havn't bought any equiptment yet - I'll probably wait until after the 30 days. I am moving my fast up another week. Will start in two weeks due to a vacation I have to take with family. I don't want to deal with all of the pressure to EAT while there. I wish I could move this to general now since it isn't really about fasting.
