1 year raw, 1 year fruitarian, then fell back to SAD, time to regroup and fast
IM starting a water fast tomorrow night when I go to bed (Feb 22,09)
I want to go for the month of march so well see how it goes.
I have been back on SAD now for Jan and most of Feb and i feel terrible
and have gained 30 lbs. I havent ate meat though, I will not go back to meat,
but I have been eating alot of veggie burritos at this mexican restaraunt, pretty much every day as well as Subway Veggie subs. And candy bars and Dr. Pepper.
In the last week Ive ate 3 or 4 large bags of Nacho Cheese Dorittos,
and have went back to coffee with hazelnut creamer.
Im just trying to confess here and be honest and spill my guts
here .
Yea I know its bad so I need to get back on track.
I went a year RAW and 1 year fruitarian. And I felt like a child!.A ton of energy!
I went from 250 down to 155 then stabilized at 160.
Now Im 195. Im VERY PISSED at myself for this so its time to FAST.
I am getting rid of everything I own except personal items, like photos.
And im going to live in a tent this summer in the mountains.
I will only eat fruit and veggies raw from the farmers market after this fast.
I will read alot. I think this will be very good for me.
I will be able to get away from computers and the fast pace life most all of us live.
People including myself always bitch how fast time flies well thats becasue we LIVE that way.
If we didnt live by the clock with our jobs and meetings,time schedules etc then time would go by slower.
Anyway I need this and it will be good for me.
Over the last 2 months my body has been letting me know that the shit Ive been putting inside me is bad, because I dont feel well and im tired , plus Ive gained 30 lbs.
Ok so heres to water, and cheers to living in the mountains!
For 6 months out of the year here in Idaho we have nice warm weather and its
beautiful here, the other 6 its very cold and snowy.
So heres to spring and a new beginning.
I will be able to be debt free by summers end by saving rent and power bill money (600.00) per month total.
Ive gotten rid of most every thing and will finish up by the weeks end and I already feel FREE. I cant describe it but I feel we all have too much
"STUFF"
We used to roam the earth and eat and sleep on it
Living simple.
now we all have jobs,debt,deadlines,stress,smog,etc etc.
Well Im taking a break from all of it this summer.
Why did I fall back to SAD?
I really honestly do not know.
I dont have the answer but I do know I want it back.

Robert,
It's not truly failing, though. You are thinking about your health and your diet. Those who fail are the ones who never even consider their diets and health. If you compare the way you eat to the way the majority of Standard American Dieters eat, you are definitely winning. ;-)
In the end, it's not a race anyway, right? It's about making conscious choices for ourselves and deciding what we really want to put into our bodies.
Lots of love to you,
Wendi
XOXOXO

Comment by Stephen Hopson on May 18, 2009 at 8:25am - I was inspired by this conversation because I can truly identify with falling off the wagon. I was doing great for 6 months and then slowly I began to inch my way back into SAD food, sneaking in a pizza here and there, eating peanut butter pretzels with red wine at night and slacking off the excercise. I can identify with getting mad at myself for allowing that to happen. I loved what "I Love Raw' said - it was encouraging to see how normal it is to fall off and get back on and how it takes a long time to get in the wagon consistently. Thanks...you made my day.

What happened, happened. I've found it's best to not label things good or bad--they just are. You ate unraw foods and you felt awful on them. Maybe by doing that you are now filled with an even deeper appreciation for how raw feels in your body--and maybe by doing that you are now looking at life and making decisions that bring you closer to living a life more in-tune with nature.
I wish you love and success in meeting all of your new goals!
Lots of love to you,
Wendi
XOXOXO

Comment by amira on February 22, 2009 at 8:57pm - i really like your idea of getting away from computers and the fast paced life. i wish you all the best with your fast and time away! i will probably do something similar, but after the summer... i think i'll be working so i can afford to travel around for a bit. anyway, enjoy!

Comment by Sistina on February 22, 2009 at 3:41pm - Yeah, my heart goes out to you my friend. I personally started going to Overeaters Anonymous. I don't talk about eating raw food there yet, I just needed a good, positive, safe place to vent my feelings that are intertwined with food. It's such a relief.

I can do it and I did it, I love it and Im doing it again.
I think like ILOVERAW said we all somewhere fall back and so I need to get up , dust off and move forward.
Fruitarian to me is the best way to live.
I think the other factor is I live in freakin frozen tundra.
I hate cold and winter.
Living on fruit in warm or hot weather is EASY.
When its -10 or sub-zero it is tough.
Anyway I messed up but Im excited to get back to it.
So now its time.

Durian,
When I was eating pure fruitarian I was up at and over 3000 calories a day.
I was eating 20 plus banannas a day and other fruits as well, then at the days end
I had the gigantic salad so I was eating plenty of calories,plus i was running every other day
5 miles.
I haven ran since November because of issues with a tendon in my leg but it is better so Im
looking to get back to running here in April.
I want to fast. I need to clean out the junk I have ate the last 2 months.
PLUS I pretty much have too. I have no money for food until friday anyway.
Im spending all my money lately on bills and will be for the summer as I mentioned in the post.
Which is part of the reason Im moving to the mountains this summer to live in a tent etc.

I like your comments The Raw - good luck - you seem pretty emotionally charged by this - and the answers to everything lie in our emotions. Good luck - remember to feel everything that comes up for you and let if wash through you - dont supress anything. It will be an awesome ride.
Love

I lost my ear candling virginity last week, lol. My friend and I didn't have any problems, just really relaxing. So do it with a friend so someone can watch the flame. have fun :)
this was hilarious as always! :)
thanks for the laughs
It's very possible. 15+ years in the game, and you learn a lot, like how to reach your audience.
You think he'll let me see his home in Hawaii?
I've met some hit chix on GITMR. Not satisfying in the least. Just the opposite. Most communication is self-defeating, accomplishes nothing. I would love it if people would leave me alone when I'm out and about. Anybody else?
Mariam, watching this raises questions: for instance, is this guy just an actor?
Seems like it. "Am I glad I went"? Well, in the sense that I knew I had to see him eventually.....I guess I got it over with (and used up my airline credit). Is he a...
"Did I meet any hot chix?" I love it~! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I've met too many of those in my life, already, many more than enough. I think I've had enough. But thanks!
