Guest guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 HELLO ALL! I have been reading the post on here for 2 years now and i must say thank you all for being my reflection i have been a food addict since my teens. Then when i stopped eating meat in my 20's i noticed my mood swings and anger spirts have become non existant now my struggle from cooked to raw has become a challenge but my energy level has sored so high on raw that i feel like i relapse backward onto my food addictions. I lost so much weight. I now park my car in front of my house and walk 1 hour every morning and evening back anf forth to work it's fun and it feels great to know that eventhough. i am going through this tranformation alone being the only rawfoodist in my entire family and in my work place I am not alone thanks to this group. I love you for being you! Samona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Good luck Samona. I live on an island and I am the only raw foodist on the whole island. This group means a lot to me too. That's so cool that you are walking to work like that. Good luck with it all.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 food addiction is a funny thing, most people recognize it in themselves to some degree (you can tell by the way they joke about not eating certain items). food addiction is obviously very, very pervasive in society, not given the recognition that it deserves but pervasive none the less. there are some though, say 20% who are truly not addicted to the cooked lifestyle, my mother being one of them. but although she and others are not mentally affected by the cooked food, they do unconsciously eventually gain the diseases that the cooked eating lifestyle brings. so does this mean they're addicts to some degree? probably. my energy level is very high when i'm raw and very low when i'm not. the differences could not be more acute in my case. i'm sure most of us are alone in this, as i am, at least i don't have children and a spouse to contend with. way to get on here at work, nice job. rich rawfood , Shay Butter <sheabuddah> wrote: > HELLO ALL! > I have been reading the post on here for 2 years now and i must say thank you all for being my reflection i have been a food addict since my teens.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 {song} i am a rock, i am an iiiiisland {song}. we're probably all pretty much on our own little island, if anyone has a lot of interaction with like minded raw fooders, face-to-face, please let us know. is bermuda in the bahamas? probably not. i walk and bus all day, much, very much walking, to get around each day. and i have bad knees from long ago, another cross i hate bearing. i'm so deprived, not really, i've been given more blessings than most, and yet, still, i have all these resentments, nonsensical really, logically, but i can't get there emotionally, mindally. like today, i was looking at crackers in the store and i saw these fancy cheese crackers from france, and figured i better eat them as it will help relieve me of my obsession (if you're following this soap opera). i also saw nabisco's cheese crackers which looked like the ones i saw at the event the other night, but i've had those before so i didn't buy them. it's all about rich man envy and i just have no reason for it, it's like i have to be able to have what rich people have or i'm just not going to be able to stand it. it's so illogical, i have so much in my life. rich envy is mostly what it's about, it's also about food addiction as i just got finished binging on every new food item in the house, before midnight of course, so i can have a chance at being raw tomorrow. at least i didn't drink, i think i drank last time i eat because they were offering free booze and that's just too easy when i'm eating cooked. oh yeah, i also have a free stuff problem, can anyone relate here. and don't remind me that my name is rich, i've already seen that pun. rich www.rawfoodeaters out trolling for prospects. rawfood , " Lane Martin " <lanie@p...> wrote: > Good luck Samona.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Rich, in answer to your question.....is bermuda in the bahamas? here's and exerpt from Frommers..... . If there's a sore point among Bermudians today, it's their extreme desire to separate themselves from the islands of the Caribbean, particularly from The Bahamas, in the eyes of the world. They often send angry letters to publishers of maps, reference sources and travel guides, insisting that Bermuda is not in the Caribbean. As one irate Bermudian put it, " You don't claim that Washington, D.C., is part of Dallas, Texas. They're the same distance apart that Bermuda is from the Caribbean. " another paragraph from the same article..... Welcome to an island of no pollution, no billboards, no graffiti, no litter, no rental cars, no unemployment (well, almost), no tolerance for drugs, no illiteracy (well, almost), and no nude or topless beaches. In a changing world, Bermuda remains . . . well, Bermuda Sounds like a perfect place for a raw food retreat.... Happy day, Lane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
