What do you do after 'backsliding'?
Just curious... i was 'sick' with a 'cold/flu' (laugh~ gotta love those air quotes that not quite everyone understands) about a week & a half ago & decided to do my body right & had been juicing, doing fiber shakes, & eating mainly fruit & green smoothies ... until two days ago, when i just had to eat... everything! at the natural food store where i work. (well, nothing too incredibly crazy i suppose~ dolmas, rice crackers, soup, some vegan cookies... laugh) a dear friend reminded me that what's even more important than the food we put into our bodies is how we feel about what we put into our bodies, so i'm working on compassion & forgiveness & am just wondering what y'all do to nurture yourselves in such situations & what steps you take to minimize backsliding/maximize peace! (making sure to eat enough to prevent overeating on less-than-ideal foods, visualization, primal scream therapy, etc :) )
Have a cherimoyalicious day, everyone! ;)

It must be very hard to work around food all day. I don't know how you do it! I work in a junk food office. Everyday someone brings in junk food, chips, cookies, chocolate bars it goes on & on. I remind myself how great & alive I feel and how they will feel like crap later. If I want to treat myself for being good I head out on my break to a RAW Food Restaurant which is only 10 min walk & buy a chocolate treat & or cheescake. I don't think I could work in a store surrounded by temptation. Maybe keep a treat for yourself & indulge as needed.

I find that after I eat not so great food, I balance that with more healthy food & try not to beat myself up about it. I'm not 80% raw yet, which is my goal. For me the challenge is maintaining this delicate balance while I'm living with ppl who don't eat raw or support it. It will be easier for me in the near future when I move out of the house I'm currently in.

I just watched the renegade health show with kevin G. in this episode he was at some farm somewhere and he spoke about the gradual accent so that when you do fall down a notch your not falling off the ladder. also, mentally creating a think as a raw foodie thinks mentality. if this doesnt make a lot of sense he puts it well in his video.

There aren't any raw police. . So don't beat yourself up about it and get on with your life. The past is history the future's a mystery and the present is a gift.

when we watch TV while eating, we are ingesting the violence and sadness from the tv shows. and its going in our system while we eat.

This was an abnormally large organic pomegranate, but organic it was.

I am glad to see that people are excited about pomergranate as I am. I dont know what but I have been hammering them lately. it is the only food that I makes me feel better by the end of the day if I feel run down. here is my way to juice them. On...
The bride and groom pieces were modelled after their World of Warcraft characters btw, Kungfubob and Ruxandra, they met in WoW, lol.
Yeap! It even had edible sugar flowers around it ^_^ The only thing on the whole cake that wasn't edible was the support beams running inside it :)
Well we are not early man. Sitting on the computer typeing isn't natural. Not sure what being natural has to do with working out.
Jumping rope at a moderate pace seems okay for someone out of shape or for a warm up. If you want it to be an effect...
Check out Dr. Bass' books for a much more concise understanding of his research and findings. I bought his books immediately after watching these videos, and have been reading through them since. :-) Great info, thanks for posting! http://www.drba...
Were the Bride & Groom piece edible?
I find it's quicker to make four cuts, scaling the outer skin equally then pulling it away and thumping with a wooden spoon. Plus it's less of a mess and you don't lose any juice because none of the kernels are cut :)
There are different varietie...
thanks AU.
