Guest guest Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Sarah, I appreciate your input. In an ideal world, that would fit and I would embrace it. In my world, it does not work. I don't live alone. My dh is not raw. When I'm alone I don't need the tv all the time. I do have shows I enjoy watching. He watches tv. We watch tv together. I cook for him. Even if I could avoid tv. I can't avoid that I cook for him, so while I might drool at a commercial, what about grilling a steak for him? No, for me and what is my life. I have to just strengthen my commitment and resolve. I HAVE to just talk to myself and tell myself that those foods are poison to me and my system and I will not have them. I can't not " live " in this world with the surroundings it provides. I have to make the changes in myself that would make it ok to see and be around things like that and be ok with it. It, for me, is a character building test. I can't avoid going to restaurants with my non raw friends. I just have to learn how to get around not caving in. I can learn that I need to eat before I go out and while out I can order a salad and water. I have to take my approach to raw like an alcoholic....One day at a time....Just for today. After 17 days raw...This is what seems to be working (for me) Respectfully, Jeannie your time is the most cherished gift of all, tomorrow is promised to no one.

It's a wonderful way to detox your mind as well Good Luck! Sarah --- jeannieh h <jeannieh99 wrote: > I wish I could say I am loosing cravings for sad.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Jeannieh, I like what you said about taking it like analcoholic...One day at a time. I have to cook while I'm at work and have to do the same when home. I have 8 of my 12 children live with me and 1 grandson,also anywhere from 4-8 foster children. Right now we only have 4, 3 just went home. 1 we have had for 2 yrs. I also watch tv only when at work no was to get out of it. But I can get out of eating thea cooked food but I do fall off the wagon at times. I do the same when out order a salad. I did eat a potato on sunday with salad. Mostly ate watermellon. I will be glad when we have our strawberries and garden. Theresa \o/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
