When it is time to make the right decision

Back from trainings

I'm back after almost two weeks of absence during which I trained in the UK with Karen Knowler, The Raw Food Coach. I also trained with Jeanine Aussavy in Nevers, France, to add an 'image counseling' (makeover) to my services....

Why do I eat raw and living foods?

Because when I eat raw and living food, I feel alive. In fact my blog today could very well be summed up with this single sentence. To go raw freed me from being a slave, a slave to refined foods....

Let's move your body!

Since January, I work and work and... work. Sounds familiar? I have a crazy schedule. I work full time and after my regular office hours, I also work hard to launch my business on line, work on my site and...

Profile

About Me:
New to Raw Food. Started a few months back in New York and naturally turned more and more raw since i arrived in Sydney, Australia last september. Also new to this area, don't know anybody except my co-workers who are NOT into raw food and not into anything close to organic nor whole foods. Thank God, my husband just followed the train if i may say. We both feel much better, more energy, etc etc. I feel like the need to be in contact with other raw foodists from around the globe. This is a great help.
What type of friends are you looking to make here?
Not looking for any specific type. My experiences taught me to stay open and you never know what life may have in stock for you in terms of meeting new people with different life stories. Even if you meet them for a short while, sometimes they can change the course of your life.
I'll be very glad though to meet people with a history of compulsive overeating that got better or even resolved with raw foodism since this is my own story (could have added this to the 'About Me' section!).
Relationship Status:
Married
Favorite Raw Food or Dish:
Anything with raw chocolate, mangoes, salads.
Interests (outside of Raw Food):
Exercise, yoga, Nature and trees, breath in fresh air by the beach, essential oils and aromatherapy.
Favorite Books:
Right now: The Sunfood Success Diet and Naked Chocolate by David Wolfe.
Favorite Quote:
"C'est le Bonheur!" (it is Happiness), from me.

Dieting and bingeing hold hands... for ever and ever

I recently blogged it is crucial to stop dieting to get out of compulsive overeating. I know how sensitive this issue is for many of you; therefore I will regularly come back to it. When I look at magazines, the number of diets that promise success in controlling weight appalls me. As a compulsive overeater, you can find yourself trying anything out of despair because you don’t know where to turn to, because dieting gives you a feeling of "control", because you absolutely MUST do something to…

FoodMatters, an eye-opener documentary, to be seen in June 2008!


FoodMatters An eye-opening documentary everyone needs to see!

FoodMatters is the creation of two Australian nutritionists turned filmmakers
who discovered that what we are being told to eat by governments, food companies and mass media marketing is actually doing us considerable harm.

In a mission to uncover the truth they have tracked down several of the world's leaders in nutrition and natural healing (including David Wolfe) from… Continue

Why weigh?

So much to say about weight… such an obsession all my life…. “I’m too fat”, “I feel fat”, “I look fat”, “my thighs are fat”, “my belly is fat”, “my butt is soooo fat”, “my hips are too fat”, “have to hide my fat”.“I AM FAAAAAAT”. It has been a looooong battle against fat. I won… when I stopped the fight. 4 years ago, I weighed approx. 63 to 65 kgs. I went onto a protein powder diet and lost around 4 to 5 kgs in two months. It was very hard to keep my weight down and I had to exercise like a nu… Continue

I'm tired..... and I eat too much

Yawn.... I am soooo tired.... and I have so much to do..... I have to finish this (blogging) and I feel like eating something, munching on something..... sweet .... like chocolate.

I have been very tired lately mostly because I work a lot at my full time job and I try to keep up with my website (the one in English and the one in French) and all my coaching projects.This is a LOT of work!

How did I stop bingeing?

Hello everyone, How did I finally stop bingeing? My experience with raw foods was as if a magic wand hit me. I became hooked onto raw foods when listening to the Raw Food Summit 2 online. I started eating raw foods at the end of october. From day one, I felt a huge shift in my energy. I don't know how to explain it differently. My weight obsessions disappeared. And you have to understand: I have been obsessed with my weight ALL MY LIFE. My obsessions with exercising like a nut case disappeared… Continue

hummmm, that makes me think.... thank you....
yeah, hanging on to certain foods, or the NEED to fill full when actually i am not hungry anymore... and could have stopped before i actually put my fork down which is my 'thing' these days.... be in contact with my body and trusting him. My body is on my side, he's always been here for me... hummmm interesting, have to run too, talk later. Thanks a lot Andrea, have fun in Canada.

Hi, Anne, nice to hear from you! I am still in Canada and missing all the fruit and coconut water in Brazil!

I think awareness of our food patterns is a great step (in fact, from what I remember from your own personal story, I believe you came a long way with that! :)

Lately, as I said on the forum, I've been reading E. Tolle and even though he doesn't speak much of food patterns, it made me realize I was equating food with my personality (with my "I") and perhaps that is one of the reasons in my case I can't let go of certain foods. Does that make sense in your case?

Anyway, I want to write more about this to you but I have a class now so more later!!

Good luck!

Cheers,
Andrea

Hi
I added you as a friend I think. Im not sure how to do it accept to go to your profile and click add as friend. Then I got a note that it sent you a message. Overeating is something I had an issue with also along with
cough cough Gambling, alcohol, drugs as a teenager, coffee, cigarettes earlier in life, junk and fast food. Its crazy what we do to go to another place.

Hi Anne, does craving for donuts at 1 am count as obsessive? And ever heard of a Singaporean who is not compulsive, obsessive when it comes to food???? Ha! Ha! I can poke fun at Singaporeans because I am one!!! Sheesh, I remember eating 7/8 times a day when I was growing up and often at midnight after an evening of studying. Singaporeans love to eat. Period. Couple that with the Chinese thing (ever been to a place on earth where there ain't a Chinese Chop shop around???!!!) :0))) Colon cancer, No. 1 cancer in Singapore. Tells you something about their dietary lifestyle.

I like your leaving yourself open to what new friends/experiences that may come your way. Only way to live, IMHO.

My aunt, cousin and nieces live in Sydney. I've been there several times. Love it. Prefer Perth though. Freemantle, to be precise. I was there prior to the America's cup, when it was still a sleepy town dotted with sidewalk cafes.

Just wanted to say Hello. Sorry, got a little longwinded. Ciao.

sorry its taken me a while 2 get back 2 u, have been madly busy, and also, yr message only appeared this morn (or last nite) although it is dated last week !?
anyway....
i find that oats work well whole oats, that is.almost powdery 'instant porridge oats' just turn to goo, and oat grains r 2 hard. use the ones where each grain has been flattened.should b easy 2 get in organic form at healthfood store. mix with a little tepid water and apply quickly 2 face, scrub gently, leave on 4 few mins if u want, leaves face feeling v smooth:) or if u can try sesame seeds,quickly whiz them in a spice/coffee grinder, so 50% of them are broken open 2 release the oils, apply to an already wet face and scrub 2 yr hearts content! leaves a lovely yummy smell. have fun!
