For breakfast i usually eat 2 bananas, a grapefruit, a orange/tangelo (those ROCK!) and a bottle/glass of orange juice. I have a couple of apples and other fruit around too, depending on how hungry i am in the morning. I need to start eating more, i think.

Have you tried any smoothies? If not you should, so that you have more of a variety. I drink a smoothie on my way to work. Then at break(3hours later) I'd have fruit. If I let myself get hungry I'd eat anything. I actually get a lil scared(not literally, but you know what I mean) if I get hungry and I don't have anything handy/healthy around to eat.

Good luck with your challenge!
I always rehydrate first thing in the morning with a large glass of water (almost 32oz). Otherwise, I used to find my cravings for other foods would be stronger.
But remember this is not a competition, increasing your intake of raw foods slowly is a great way to transition if you have had trouble in the past. What works for one person may not be ideal for your body, so if 100% is not working that does not mean you are a failure, it means you have succeeded in increasing your intake of raw foods, a wonderful step towards a healthier life.
I look forward to reading about your journey! ;)
