cravings

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone, just wanted to write a few words as i have been reading only

for a little while.

 

Thanks Roger for explaining about the testimonials - I needed to hear that -

I asked another member privately but he never replied.

 

When I joined this group there was so much education to be had and I loved

it - there was lot's of chat too which is great but when I came here I was

ready to be educated about raw foods and I needed to be as a completely new

raw-food eater. I would have floundered and had no success at all if some

people hadn't taken the time to tell me how I could do it and feel good at

the same time.

 

 

I read an article the other day on a homeopathy site and it made so much

sense to me and explained to me how I am feeling - it spoke of how if the

body suffers from an acute illness the body has the knowledge and the

wherewithal to know what it needs to heal itself - but if the body suffers

from an chronic illness then the body actually tries to feed the illness

itself to keep the illness going - hence cravings for certain things - I

have actually suffered many chronic addictions over the years - cigarettes

being one and of course this was a chronic illness in me and I craved

nicotine - I have many other such experiences with myself.

 

As I am new to rawfoods I have a lot to learn - at times I crave certain

foods - I have had such help given freely to me in this group - sometimes

privately and I have had much gratitude for some one being there to teach me

- I am at a stage of being raw where I cannot yet trust my body or mind as I

get many cravings - spices, fat - salt - I was becoming very fat before -

yo-yoing up and down so I crave things that will keep me that way.

 

A few days ago I noticed Nick who is also raw had a bag of raw nuts on the

kitchen work-top and a lot of times in the day he would pop a few into his

mouth as he walked past. His body is craving fat in the shape of avocado and

nuts but I have learned enough on these pages to know that this can lead to

serious problems later with high fat diets - it is great to chat but I do

need others of experience to help me to succeed here - it is what I joined

for.

 

I know I cannot yet trust my mind or body to work for me and not against me

yet - I am sure it will come but I need help to stay on track.

 

Thanks

Love Lynne
