I am raw foods for a year. Mostly green, but apples and bananas too. I've found eating less to be healthy too becuase I feel better, and I actually want to run around, so I trust my body is healthy. I used to have gout in one foot, which is gone mostly now, especially when I eat less. Over time my mom and I have less conflict over food (which stems from my childhood), I have lost a lot of weight (20lbs), and our family is pretty peaceful. Even my parents are curious about what I do and they stopped having sugar in the house at my request...cool. I thought I could post here about some things that come upfor me and just express when things are right too, which is occuring sometimes now on an energetic level. Currently I just got over a sort of experience with a new boyfriend, who calmly accepted my Way after a while (cool!), and I am so overly senstive as it is, that my moody coworker is anoying me (she said she's not mad at me...with a growel). I guess I remember when we used to comiserate about our wierd suicidal thoughts...but now mine are gone. Ah well...I need some friends. Ahh... the more I've been raw the less I feel proud about it. I used to feel really warrior like just doing it, and now its normal. Now I feel guilty about eating less...around people who have issues with food, like fat people, or people who eat all the time. Its really weird, but I wish I could let it go. I hope I will. I'll have to ask my dog what to do... oh man. I am juicing more in the morning...like Natalia Rose says...I am snacking on fruit...and I feel very flexible when I juice. Its wierd, like in yoga I can do the plow on a juice day, but not on a coffee day...really vivid example of what juice does to my body. I am so shy- I feel like with a nonshy person, having babies and hanging out with friends helps you learn to become experienced at being loving through life...but with me...I am so shy that yoga and raw foods are My Way... I just ate too many almonds at my office and a cucumber...blah...and I am waiting to eat a salad at night tonight with my boyfriend. I wish I had this body thing figured out. My challenge is not to comisserate eat at work just becuase I feel like I have too...Writing, like talking can clarity. Thanks Re: tweaked

Date: June 04, 2007 06:40PM Brisimo is my favorite word. It means Everything. I say Brisimo! to my dog to get her to stop or something is SO Brisimo if it is good. Frizimo. Everyone knows what that means...
I am drinking my green juice all afternoon, watered down. I like it that way. I haven't been that hungry lately. I am sort of curious about that. I think Natalia Rose is right when she says you have to learn how to make tastes. At night I don't want to eat a lot, but I do want to eat a little of several tastes. Um...today I had mellon ( a little too much...and sweet...but it was good). Walked the dog early too, before breakfast...omg so fun. I found Fresh Ginko leaves at my park. Several trees and I only two fresh ones a day. Yum. They are special. Thank you Ginko! I made some Quik Balsamic Dressing from Natalia Rose' book: 1c balsamic 1tbsp Garlic 1/4 c oil and pepper and salt, blended. I feel like I've been blessed with a few mediocre thoughts lately (that being good, as not severe, which is more my inkling). So I eat fruit in the morning and I lately have been adding a few leaves of greens...just like a branch of Sheep's Lettuce or some garden green and it makes a difference. Now I can stay with my fruit...and accomodate my need for greens...and no great switch is neccessary. Yeah..and phew. Um...deep breathing. I've been doing a little more deep breathing, by Sri Sri Ravi Kar. Read Jean Jenet's the Balcony...realized I only like one scene (with the horse and general)... I still do Gravity Colonics, but I am thinking they may be at their end for usefulness. I am pretty poor, so I don't have the money off-hand for prof. colonics, but I am looking into it anyway.

Date: June 05, 2007 07:31PM Today I had mad coffee in the morning and three Luna Bars (a little guilt about my flat belly- gee!), then fruit (3 oranges) and then for lunch some cooked soup my mom made...and bread with fake butter (transitional). Spent some time playing bob marley way too loud in my car, and feeling dizzy cleaning house. Now I am realizing I'd better get some sleep before I bomb some very good relationships.
I've been obsessed with the feather. I looked up its symbolism and found this:Ma'at (Maet, Mayet) is the Egyptian goddess of truth, justice and the underworld. She is often portrayed as wearing a feather, symbol of truth, on her head. She passed judgment over the souls of the dead in the Judgment Hall of Osiris. She also weighted up the soul against a feather. While it may be a bit dark, its cool because I come from a law family. Also for me, raw foods is like right living, and I believe your soul is seperate, but your body and soul are also entwined so right living...creates a happy soul...perhaps one that could pass a feather test. I ate a good dinner out last night with a family. It was raw salad, cooked broc and salmon. My bf actually declined desert and skirted us out before the checks and chocolates came (wow cool). So day to day.... Re: tweaked

Date: June 05, 2007 10:15PM Rainbowgrl: I don't know much about colonics, but in a book I'm reading about wheatgrass (Ann Wigmore) there's a 3 day wheatgrass explained that includes daily wheatgrass enemas (with a baby syringe). It's supposed to really clean your lower colon and you don't feel sick during the fast. I'm growing my first crops of wheatgrass (simple and pretty to look at, too!). After we have a few shots of the juice my husband and I are going to try the 3 day fast. Certainly only costs pennies compared to a professional. However, I don't know much about what you are doing. It's just a thought for you to consider to save $$$$. Good luck and keep on keepin' on! Joan Re: tweaked

Date: June 06, 2007 07:05AM Hey Miss Joan..have you made shots from the wheatgrass yet??? it takes SOOO Much of the wheatgrass to make one little 2 0z..shot haha it takes a ton to make enough for the implants....haha that is the only thinga bout it..you have to grow sooo much for a few days worth....but the inplants and enemas are really good...what you do is the enema first to cleanse..then you do the implant..where you put the wheatgrass in and hold it for as long as you can..then release it...they sell enema kits online too for cheap....
well that is a good idea for you too rainbow..that way you still get the benefits without the cost...coffee is really good as an implant as well!! and green tea..i sue oxygenated water sometimes too... oh e's and i's are great for you haha take care love earthangel xoxoxoxoo Much peace and love!!! EarthAngel Xoxo No Sleep- yikes

Date: June 11, 2007 08:50PM Hey,
Drank coffee, but then maybe 45 oz of raw juices. Carrot/celleri/beat, then cellery/cucumber/gingermmmm Had some rice bran, with unsweetened choc soy, a bit more coffee...then plain yogurt with lethicin...then a few almonds and RAISINS...before I read here that they aren't raw...which is cool since I am not supposed to be eating them anyway. Ah...I had some salad at a restaraunt last night...and realized that I REALLY NEED TO GET TOUGH with these waiters and just say...give me some salad...and oil and lemon...(damnit with a smile). I am gonna do that- cuz what they gave me made me sick after a while...sadly...so instead of making some RULE like no Restaraunts...come on...I'll just start asking for what I like. OK! Excited.

Date: June 12, 2007 05:15PM Alright. A little bit of coffee... and green juice and a bit of chocolate and some soft-veggie soup (cooked, my mom's) and a carrot. Hello 1pm.
Lately I have been feeling very hostile...but also very in charge. I guess I am realizing how in charge of myself I need to be, as a gheto hippy with no real money. I am definately on MY SIDE. So...I had a good time cleaning this morning. Mostly outside and it was fun... yesterday I found out my favorite is raw juices, that are thawing and can be drunk a little and crushed up with a spoon. Really Good! Re: tweaked

Date: June 13, 2007 08:21AM hey rainbowgrl
u mentioned how u felt guilty about eating little amounts in front of some people most people like to parallel how other people eat, bite for bite.. don't ask me why but it is true there were so many times that i would just order a salad at a restaurant and then a non raw friend or acquaintance would say " I'll just have a salad too" i can't tell u how many times that has happened usually, people wanna see a new way of living and changing their lives and when they see you doing it it gives them courage to take those steps too i've had people around me change the contents of their fridge, their diet, start juicing like mad etc. and i didn't even tell them to do anything i ( generally) am not such a good advice giver its just not my most fave thing to do but people will start gravitating towards what they know is "right" and when you eat "right" it just kinds of makes a light bulb go off in their head and they see that " whoah.. someone ELSE is doing it.. i'm gonna do it too!" and they don't even need to know one iota about raw foods its just instinctual common sense most people GET it on a subconscious level so quit feeling "guilty" that you are doing something good for yourself don't spend your entire life trying to make other people feel comfy around you that's THEIR job ( to feel comfortable about who they are) NOT yours. you have enough going on to make yourself feel comfortable be brave eat that salad in front of the friend who eats pizza and donuts or drink that green juice in front of the entire group of people at the party who is guzzling beer and if they ask you why you are doing it , just say " cuz i like it and cuz i can" Re: tweaked

Date: June 19, 2007 05:47PM Hey some other people have good advice on this site...
ahh...Things are still rough in my life, but I feel less effected by it, strangly...its like good and bad...are a little lighter. I had coffee and dark chocolate, and several nori strips and some raw nuts and a few raisins. Ah. I am feeling good about my job: personally my work has really "picked me up" becuase people really like me and I do a good job and I contribute to them by using non-toxic cleaning supplies and they contribute to me by giving me the independance of working for myself, plus compliments which, considering I am mostly water and words are vibrations, is beneficial. Ok- Good day. Re: tweaked
