[Raw Food] HELP!!! I have no idea how to...

 

I used to be a vegetarian (God made me one) I got married and he only ate

meat. So I started to eat meat slowly now I can't go back (and I still

don't enjoy meat) to avoid eating meat I got in the habit of eating junk now

I can't stop eating either. What can I do. I don't even remember how I

used to eat and I can't find any information on changing your eating

habits. And how much do you spend on your diet a month?

 

Thanks

Dimples

Hi Dimples, thanks for asking these questions. I'll leave the cost question

for others, there are probably many different experiences people can share.

 

I have observed that, as a species, we do not respond well to the work " no. "

This applies even (and perhaps especially) when we hear this word from

ourselves. The implications are significant for those transitioning into RF.

 

When we focus on what we do NOT want, we tend to attract more of it. In

general, we cannot " get rid " of things, we cannot " stop doing " things.

 

In contrast, most people seem to succeed more naturally, easily, and

permanently when they simply begin adding in the things they DO desire. So I

suggest that you simply begin eating more of what is " right " for you, and in

particular I suggest beginning with your first meal of the day and working

forward from there, over time.

 

As you begin putting better and better ingredients into your body, and as

you begin providing both calories and bulk from constructive foods, you will

likely experience that there is simply less " space " for all those " bad "

things, their presence in your life will simply begin to diminish

automagically<tm>.

 

This may not get you all the way to your goal, but it is a great place to

start. Try some of this for a week or two, and just accept and ENJOY all the

'bad stuff " you continue to consume, for now. Appreciate that all that stuff

enabled you to survive your marriage, and/or get through other life

experiences and arrive at your present state. Now those items are becoming

obsolete, they no longer serve you constructively, and you are beginning to

let go of them, not by force, not by " getting rid of, " but simply by

focusing your attention elsewhere.

 

And finally, do stay in touch through this group, share honestly about your

experiences, seek support here!

 

Best,

Elchanan
