two months on....
and I've learned so much.
- I need to be kinder to myself. I have had 41 years of unhealthy living and I am not going to become a super-healthy, buzzing 100% raw vegan overnight. Instead of focusing on the times I fall into old eating patterns, it is far more helpful to focus on all the goodies I've added...my god, with all these green smoothies over the past month I have eaten more dark green leafy

week one...the rise and fall of raw moira
well week one has come to an end...and I have to report I've not done well :-(
Started the week enthused and determined, but it all went pear shaped by Wednesday. I had to spend the day in Glasgow at a work thing, and ended up drinking coffee, eating horrible cheese sandwiches and biscuits. Felt really yucky afterwards and found myself slipping right back into my worst habits. I do have a tendency to be a bit "all or nothing" so it shouldn't surprise me that I reacted in this way - but I fel… Continue

Moira goes raw....well, raw-er
OK, so I've been reading the books. I'm convinced that raw makes sense. So why have I found it so hard to put into action? I've been making breakfast smoothies and huge salads at lunchtime, but then find myself slipping easily back into bad habits....when my hubbie has egg, veggie burger and beans on toast on a cold sunday morning, I can't resist. Over the Christmas and New Year period I have been eating worse than ever...all the usual festive crap.
Anyway, yesterday was… Continue

Hi Elise,
I take it that the high price is gladly refunded if it "doesn't take".
Baby, this answer rocks. I understand it completely. I did quite a lot of pills over a 2 year period in my 20s and got to experience all of what you described in your 1st paragraph. When I keep my raw diet pure and stay away from nuts, I feel the ...
Congrats, bro.
A friend of mine has had issues with her parents since childhood, she tried everything including numerous counseling sessions, hypnosis etc etc. She then did a two day intensive program called ‘the breakthrough experience’ and now she’s a changed ...
I think most people want to do this because they need attention, not because it really turns them on... maybe different for the people watching? personally don't want any more secreted bodily fluids to avoid in the city.. isn't there enough piss e...
yes she is :)
wow THANK YOU!!!!
Full disclosure - I work as a therapist.
Yes, it helps.
But you should know that the value of it can't be described by the speed of the healing process or whether you're looking or seeming perfect. Therapy is about coming to terms and coming back...
I always used to get sick on foods from restaurants, but the same meal I prepared at home wouldn't make me sick.... restaurants tend to drown foods in butter and oils, you've probably been eating less of those since going on those diet.
No problem at all. We're all here to support each other in our journeys. :D
with a manual camera I used a slow shutter speed (1/5) and kept my head moving side to side. i used Photoshop to get the contrast and color look.
thanks -- it makes me really enjoy being sick!
respect,yb.
Finally reconciled with my mother two years before she split the scene at the age of 95. Load off my mind.
She was tough, tough, tough, tough.
Jewish mother nagging shit, non-fucking-stop. Always fresh to her, always Hell to me.
Ha-Ha-Ha! Yah, womyn!! Glad ya said somethin
Ohh nice! Yea, they're addicting as hell. If it wasn't for the price I would look like the Berlin Wall by now.
Wow that's got to be tough. I think I would set myself on fire if I had to live with or near either one of my parents. I'm going to try to keep distance from them & keep a diary. Thank you for the support RGG
It hasn't faded any yet, but I've only heard of problems with some of the phosphorus inks and ours don't have any in. But who knows, the approved UV inks have only been out a few years and they're more expensive so not a lot of people take the opt...

Yeah the meetup groups are growing big time, it's really exciting! Hopefully we'll catch up soon.
Take care x
Yeah Anabrese's book is full of yummy treats, my fave is definitely the pakora. Might make some more of that this weekend. I'm doing good thanks for asking. No potlucks organised apart from this Saturday (can you make it?) and then Red Sugar on V day. Shame you can't come. I'm sure there'll be more organised though, seems to be more and more people crawling out the woodwork :)
I love lymphatic massages - sounds like you've got a good wee thing going. It's always nice to have people to share raw food with. Don't know if I'd have lasted this long without it!
Selling my flat at the momet, having decided to go and live in the country. Got a woman coming on Friday for a second viewing so I'm very positive despite all the doom and gloom going on.
It can't be long till Tibet now is it? x
ps, hmm, even if you eat some cooked food, can it be healthy vegan rather thank junk? that's still a pretty good diet and you can be edging along to more raw. hope that helps.
How are you doing?
Em x
Blessings

Glad you enoyed the retreat even if you did come back with a cold. You know I'm definitely thinking about doing it some time if I can get enough time off work.
That's great that you and Dave were doing it together. Yeah I can just imagine him with all his fridge full of greens! :)
That's pants about the 12th but I'm sure there'll be a xmas one too so you can come to that.
Hope things are going well for you. I've mastered chocolate now and regularly have some on the go. I'm such a chocolatier these days ;)

I will be coming on the retreat just not sure if i am going to make it on saturday or not:( might come on the sunday. Will see you there:) d
