hello!
i am feeling much much better today. i woke up with a dull headache (which i'll take any day over the one i had yesterday!) and it actually got better instead of worse. my boss was cute, she brought me excedrin migraine, but of course i didn't take it. it's too hard to explain to people why i refuse to take pills and whatnot, so i just kept the bottle in my desk til the end of the day

ooh, Prism, i have the bragg's raw ACV!! i don't do the honey thing (vegan and it just grosses me out) but i'm sure i can stomach just the ACV in water, i've taken it like that before. i've read that it helps your body cleanse, which is obviously what i need right now! my headache is a little better but still there, and now i feel nauseaous, too. i certainly learned my lesson from eating that

well this is an edit to my post above- i am feeling so nauseous and out of it that i can't even think of eating, it makes me want to throw up! i was sooo looking forward to that salad, too, but i think it's best for me to not eat anything else since i'm not at all hungry and my stomach doesn't feel so good right now! ugh. i had to lay down for another hour, and that's when i know i feel bad- i

rawdanceruk, can you just increase your juice consumption so you're getting more calories? i'm not an expert, but i would think it could be detrimental to your health to be working out on so few calories.
i am feeling horrible today! i have the worst headache i've ever had in my life. i completely deserve it though, since i did eat that pj&j sandwich 2 days ago, so i'm just suffering th

Jgunn, by "detox bumps" i meant those tiny red almost-pimples that seem to always accompany other detox symptoms. also, the fruit i ate was bananas, a mango, strawberries, blueberries & fresh-squeezed OJ in a smoothie, plus a few dates and more bananas- most of it was locall

i'm sure there have been threads about headaches before but i don't know how to search for them and honestly, i can barely even sit at the computer to type this. i have had this horrible headache for well over 24 hours now and it's only gotten much worse. i have extreme sensitivity to light, heat and any little noise, and i can barely move without my head feeling like it's going to explode. i'

hey all, i feel bad for being so involved in my own situation yesterday that i didn't even read or reply to other posts! so here's my attempt to catch up...
suncloud, that sucks about your sensitivity to greens! i also find greens to be very satisfying and they seem to stabilize my blood sugar levels. when i'm really really hungry greens are always what i crave and they fill me right up. i

WHAT??? they are bathed in formaldehyde? and pasteurized? not the organic ones though, right? i LOOOOOVEEE mangoes and eat at least one every day. it's sad though b/c they never put the organic ones on sale and they cost $1.99 at whole foods..and that's the only place i can find them.
how do you pasteurize fruit? wouldn't that involve cooking it, which would alter it's appearance?

i had a rough day. i ate a pb&j sandwich, which is my ultimate comfort food. there were a number of reasons why this happened, none of which matter as much as the fact that IT HAPPENED and now i need to take a step back and re-evaluate what i'm doing and where i went wrong.
i got into a car accident on my way to pick up some food before work this morning. there was an animal in the road

khale, your mention of the word "interregnum" jolted my memory back to one of my favorite books, it's called "no telephone to heaven" by michelle cliff. it's about a revolution on a caribbean island- i am totally blanking on which one, maybe jamaica but i don't think so- and she has a quote about "the old is dying and the new cannot be born"...it's sooooo good, i re

not to mention that approximately 80% of the grain we grow in the USA is used to feed livestock that are only going to be slaughtered for meat. if everyone in america stopped eating meat, we could use that grain to feed to people and pretty much end world hunger. (not that this would be an overnight thing, but the demand for breeding tons of livestock would go down so there would gradually be l

i have decided that if i'm just not hungry at night, there's no need to force myself to eat. i just end up feeling too full and i don't enjoy the food as much anyway. i am 100% completely NOT hungry right now so there's no point in eating dinner. oh well...at least that means i have no mess to clean up!
i did get some greens in earlier today but there's a funny story to go along w/ that- i

hey sweetie! aww i'm so glad your dad is coming to visit for a few days. sometimes a girl just needs her dad to make everything ok! i miss my dad soooo much lately.
great job on resisting the scale for a day! that is a huge accomplishment. you broke the cycle once- now just try to keep doing that when you're comfortable with it. recovering from an ED is all about leaving your comfort zon

i'm actually glad that people are sort of waking up to the fact that one of the most important things a person can do to reduce his/her co2 emissions is eat vegan. it's also probably one of the hardest in most people's minds, which is why no one is talking about it! that and the fact that, in the US, the meat and dairy industries reign supreme and in the good ol' us of a the govt. would probabl

hey alex, don't worry too much about fitday saying you're "borderline overweight." if you are an athlete you have a lot of muscle mass, and muscle mass is heavier than fat so athletes tend to weigh more than the average population even though they are not over-fat. does that make sense? i'm tired and rambling...
anyway, i agree that you should try to see a holistic doctor. my mom

hey alex, you are not overeating one bit! especially for a teenager- i was going to tell you you may want to eat more! when you're full on raw, you'll crave cooked foods much less. i always think i'm eating too much b/c i kind of eat alll day long, but it never adds up to much b/c fruits and veggies make you full for very few calories. so basically eat as much as you want whenever your body t

Hey dear. Yeah I need to check out the raw for pets section! Lol I would never put them on a vegan or even veggie diet- they are little meat-eaters, that’s for sure! They had veggie dog food at the coop I shopped at in Vermont. But I just don’t think that would be good for them since it’s not at all close to their natural diet.
