If I was to buy only ONE superfood item?

I was told by a former trainer that being 20lbs overweight is equivalent to being pregnant. With that being said, I have gained another pregnancy or another 20lbs. Granted that when I weighed myself I had on a hoodie, jeans, and had just gotten through eating. However, 20lbs!!!! That makes me so upset. I kept putting of committing myself to going raw for 'tomorrow' and look where I'm at today.

This has nothing to do with raw food or anything on her. I just wanted to post it somewhere other than my blog. It had the heads of Scylla each stalked their with its one eye In stealth and greed it scanned the multitude All are oblivious to its presence while it seeks those that resist My hands move along My mind rejects the motions My lips move along to the songs My heart refuses the lyrics Oh no, I've been spotted It takes its one eye and glares straight through me My true motivations cann… Continue

College.

My parents got me moved in and dropped me off. So far I've been able to stay vegan. Wish me luck.

"I could be Vegan, if you do all the cooking."

That's what my momma said after I let her try my fried rice. I think she is calming down to me admitting that I wanted to go vegan, considering yesterday she told me she would never be vegan. I wonder how she will feel next year when I admit to going raw vegan. So, I haven't had any dairy or eggs in 2 days. I'm doing pretty well on staying vegan. The only thing is that I think I'm eating too many cooked carbs and not enough vegetables. Plus, I just found out that I need to go outside more to ge… Continue

I know being a student can put one on a tight budget, so if you haven't seriously looked into it before, it's a good time to think about bartering. I did it a lot when I was in college.

Have a great weekend,
Your friend,
Rawzi

Mostly I just tried to keep a few small cooked foods in there so i wouldn't go nuts and then it kinda worked out okay.

The thing with EFT is to be VERY specific. It WILL still help if you're not, but sometimes it's hard to see.

Also, drink lots of water while doing it. Also, be persistent. It's easy to give up too early, when the tapping IS working, just taking a bit of time. Sometimes you have to hit things a few times before you totally clear them.

So, rather than tapping on "cooked foods" (which is VERY general), try one specific cooked food, then see how it goes.

Also, sometimes a lot of the cravings WILL go after tapping, but there'll be other triggers. I've written a bit about this here - but there's a couple more I discovered recently. I was being drawn towards 'heavy foods' (rice, bread, etc) when I could feel emotions bubbling up that I wanted to damp down. So, I tapped on that - didn't SEEM like it worked (but it actually did). Next time I had those cravings I noticed what was different - the emotions weren't being stopped coming up (which was different from before) - but this time it was me craving them because I was feeling overwhelmed.

So, it might look like the tapping hadn't worked (craving because of fear of emotions), but really, I'd cleared off the first layer of cravings, & could see what was underneath (craving because of feeling overwhelmed).

Any of this making sense? :)
