I'm at my parents' house for a few days, this is always hard.

There are yoghurts in the fridge I used to love so much. They have a compartment for junk and another for really creamy yoghurt.

I'm afraid I'm going to crack. :|

get outside and workout

eat enough fruit..whip up a smootie..

determination!

Oh heavens, I know just what you mean. I just had to suffer through a family birthday party at OUR house with piles of fresh, hot pizza and ice-cream cake. I LOVE pizza and mushrooms and ice-cream cake!! I made a gigantic salad ahead of time and packed it full of so many things, and ate that til I was too full to eat any more to help fight the temptation all around me. *sigh* It's a challenge for sure, but you CAN win the battle. =)

Grab sweet fruit and eat it or throw it into a blender and start filling yourself up on the good stuff. I find that to be one of my biggest defenses against severe temptation, even if I eat til I'm MISERABLY STUFFED, I just fill up on salads, veggies, and fruits until I can't eat another bite. By then, I'm just too full to want ANY food!! =)

Okay guys... to be honest... I did it. I ate two of them. It's the first time in about two weeks I actually had anything bad (unless you count the nut thing but that wasn't my fault).

That's it for the month though definitely... a few months back I might be taking milk and biscuits when I crashed... to be honest with you guys this is really not that big a deal for me, just a little yoghurt with topping... apart from "breaking the chain" which is the worst thing.

I know that it is stupid and ridiculous and there is no need for such nonsense. I'm not trying to defend it... I'm disappointed in myself. But it's like leaving heroin around for a heroin addict... don't you think it's like that sometimes...?

My fault? Not eating enough raw fruit&veg earlier I think. Then I started having these desires for quick food. Oh well...

Don't beat yourself up. You did great! That's awesome progress! Crashing on YOGURT instead of biscuits and milk is a HUGE improvement! And the good news is that it won't kill you. =) Chin-up and be happy and don't be sad about it. You're doing great and can always get back on track at home or tomorrow. =)

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm like that too. I have to just draw a line in the sand and not have any cooked food or it escalates out of control fast. I know we are all different and that plenty of raw food eaters can have some dead food and then lick their lips and not have any difficulty eating all raw for months or years after that. Unfortunately I am not able to keep one foot in the raw camp and the other foot in the cooked camp. I wind up with both feet in one camp or the other. Its an ongoing choice based on learning what works for you.

Thanks so much plainlydressed, EZRider and rawdanceruk, those are really good, smart and inspirational posts.

I'm going to save this thread for reference some other time, this really is a great place for support.

draw a line under it. dont spend time wallowing, postivity breeds positive energy

When I went home I chose to fast, as my family had no produce. Better than eating crackers for 4 days basically, when I got back I enjoyed gorgeous organic produce

Next time I will get to the organic market if I visit them

Lessons and all that jazz

Yeah, I did that too and forgot to prepare before attending a family dinner. Had to eat watermelon the whole time. Boy was I hungry when I got home !!! LOLOL. Now I ALWAYS go prepared !!!!! *LOL* =)

This is definitely one of my biggest peeves with people. They don't care what they eat or if their health fails, but people like us that do have to hang around these people and temptation sets in!
