Thanks everyone. Yes, that must be so, that there are so many strugglers to every "no look back" person. At least I know the right diet for me and am on right track. I just keep side railing, and it is biochemical and emotional. Gimme gimme gimme. And if I just had a flutter here and there that would be one thing, but I don't flutter, I dive. If I drink coffee, it is cups and cups

This morning I made a blended fruit drink with some strawberries, banana, red leaf lettuce and a small piece celery. Have since had a few oranges, a sapote, and a pear and the smallest simplest salad. I'm glum.
Not in stress though, even though things are a little rough to the eye: all is well. The main difficulty in life is this struggle with my bad habits.
I am releasing a lot of

Nearly all raw day today. I feel determined. And bloated and yucky. Have gained back about 15 or so pounds. I went shopping the other day and bought good things, including persimmons, sapotes, plums, grapes. Prunes.
This continual yo-yo syndrome. I wish I could stay raw. I'll keep trying. I want to feel better than this.

Thanks all for stopping in while I am a bit AWOL, this time period is still fluxing and flexing. I would like to resume regular appearance---soon? Eating is still 50/50. And it is a Very Good/Very Bad.
Can't linger now...but will say that I am eating persimmons, the Fuju ones and they are very good and really a pleasure. I also use in morning smoothies. Still eating grapes everyday.

Started out real well with a good fruit smoothie with romaine and celery. Later made carrot/cucumber/celery/parsley juice. Had a good salad. Then I fell in a ditch. Will make more juice soon. I'll just keep on with the raw food, keep walking on and try to fill in the ditches with good nutrients, just keep eating more and more good food.

I just could find one thing (the yoga triangle pose) of your music....how do you get to the place where you click on music?
What beautiful flute playing! How wonderful to be able to do that! What a friend your flute must be. Ah, to be able to play music...
I've always said that if I got 3 wishes I would use one of them to sit at a piano with an orchestra and play Brahm's Piano Concerto

Hi WestieMom, Just read through this and I think you're doing great! You are learning a lot and just plain making great effort and good observations on the automatic bio-feedback! You inspire me. I've been up and down a lot lately, but reading your journal inspires me to persevere (again) and rediscover for myself how much better I feel when I eat real live fresh produce exclusively. It is i

Thanks, JGunn.
I did better today. Good green smoothie with banana, grapes, mango, lettuce and stick of celery. I sure like the taste of celery in fruit smoothies.
Also made a very nice salad for lunch, with some Follow Your Heart dressing to which I added cucumber and dill. Have snacked on grapes, 2 varieties. Am rereading a detective novel by Grafton so far down in the alphabet it is li

I have an old box of Smooth Move too. Maybe I should make a cup.
Am glad to see you lingering here! I hope you settle in for awhile!
Am so weary from moving, but tomorrow I wake up in one place only and it is well stocked with real food and I plan on not doing much but read, relax, make juice, make smoothies. Maybe take a nap. Really: rest, sleep, let my body drink minerals and su

I'm so tired, finished moving today, and cleaning. I didn't know it would take all day...reminds me of the last part of football game....only 15 minutes left but it takes an hour. (I did take a few time outs). Whew. Eating is still the same mix. Now I am all moved, am sleeping here tonight and waking up fresh tomorrow with a relaxing day ahead of me. And I am well stocked with real food.

Thanks much, Pampam. Yes, I yo yo. I can relate to your weight fluxuation, I've done the same, lose and gain mucho in short periods of time. That is exactly how I experience the smoking....the drain.

P.S. Another thing I do which almost always gets me back on track is a 3 day fast. During this time I reread Ehret and whatever else. The first day or two I am craving my problem foods and by day 3 I am craving lettuce and oranges or something equally real. Pam Pam's post reminded me of that and I forgot to mention. This is what I need, too, but cannot do at this time, busy with moving. It

Hello there, Kwan! I am surprised to see you over here and to hear that you too are struggling----how I can empathize.

Hi there Sundancer! You're going through some roller coaster, too, eh? I can relate to the frustrations appearing in the diet, me too. I've got to essentially start over also. (with everything!). What flux. And my diet so deteriorated, kind of like the diet I eat when I quit smoking : at this time I am eaing poorly and smoking more than ever.

Soraya--I've misplaced your phone #, can you PM again? I wanted to call you!
About what is going on with you: I think it sounds great! Look how long now you've been eating well. It sounds very much to me like it is another level of body throwing out mucous and toxins, that's all. I doubt very much that is any "reaction" to a particular food. I'd play by ear, maybe fast for a

Eating grapes galore and oranges, some little salad, and a item here and there of non-raw. Still not there. This is so hard. Why can't I get back to it. It amazes me that people can just go raw and 'not look back'. Wow. They're usually younger than me! And, well, they are who they are and I am who I am. There are some non raw foods and tastes that are, for me, well I better not say.....I'l

I did go to People's Co-op today with a friend. Had lunch...great kale salad and I added salad bar stuff to plate, mostly shredded beets and spinach, a little this and a little that. Very good, I was so hungry and it tasted so good.
I bought several pounds of grapes and a bag of valencias. I feel better now! I bought two kinds. They are so sweet and juicy and flavorful.

Things are not stable but am floating along on faith (not sinking). Eating has taken a low road though.
I read Quantum Eating with some mixed reactions. It is a little wordy with digressions, imo, but the core of raw food, reduced eating, and many hours of fasting (dry) is interesting and I like these as an 'ideal' (how many can do this?). The info on dry fasting is interesting and deserv

That's big news, Sundancer. Well, it sounds like a matter of you sticking with your principles and morals and that's a good thing. Kudos to you. And good luck with your new ventures. Some jobs are just not worth the stresses they cause. Yes, eat out of the garden and rejoin your crafts, maybe something will come of that...but at least you will get some creativity time. Best wishes to you.

Have a temporary part-time job which is helpful...also across street from hopeful job, but no news good or bad yet. No other job offers. I had a good laugh yesterday, anyone would have thought I was crazy or really laughing about something very very funny: I was laughing out loud, a big belly laugh (which by the way can be taken literally due to some not so good food choices).

Orange juice this morning and I dug out the bentonite, psyllium, and herbs. I plan to take charge today. My eating has deteriorated and I need to re-interiorate! I have an intense craving for oranges, grapes (don't have any). I am thirsty, but really want sweet fruit water! I will probably eat all the oranges I have. I'll drink some water. Very thirsty.

I'm not sure how long...maybe about a year, off and on. After a few months I stopped for a few months while I lost weight (I was so uncomfortable with the huge belly I had, and couldn't get over the self-criticism and complaining). When I went back, it was so much better. Lately have been doing very regularly. In fact, I took day off today and may take the next day or two off as well....focus

I heard from Soraya, which was a highlight yesterday. I did indulge again in cooked food yesterday. Missed yoga class. That's okay, the rest was possibly good for me too. Knee is quite sore. Also hip, glutes, and other. I've been informing the teachers before class so they will leave me alone as I take it easy and then I proceed to work hard as hell at everything. Still having much trouble

Off to yoga, earlier class. Will have it over and done with for the day! Yesterday's class was better, although I didn't do every pose, got a little burned out last part of class.

Yes, progress. Just had celery cucumber juice --to stay cool in class....??? We are off right now to the Bikram crockpot. Yesterday's class was hell. Hell. So hot and I was bold and went to the front next to teacher's stage and it was the drill sargeant and I had a terrible time just staying in room. I couldn't leave his class from that position, up at front. I think I lost a pound or two
