Staying on track

[Guest guest]

I offer to bring the raw food. For Christmas Eve I am taking a relish

tray of raw veggies. My family just won't know that the dip is raw

too. Then I will also make a fruit salad with dates and raw nuts that

is excellent. No one will even notice if I skip the traditional (in my

family) roast beef sandwiches. I eat about 80% raw so I can have rice

pudding, which is also a family tradition. I plan ahead. I don't find

restaurants too hard to eat in. We have one raw restaurant in this

area and we always suggest it when we go out with friends. When i have

to eat too much cooked food, I do a raw juice fast the next day and I

feel better.

I have only been at this for a few months but I was vegitarian for a

long time so I am used to adjusting without being noticed.

staying on track, what is hardest. I have no trouble staying raw when

I am at home alone. It is the socializing that does it. There's a lot

of that going on here for the Christmas season, including Christmas

dinner with friends. So, fellow strugglers....which situations make it

tough to stay on track? Work, parties, solitude, travel....???? Lane

compromises are good, but i prefer to just not eat at an occasion where

there's nothing raw. it only lasts what, a few hours, and raw i'm not

that hungry anyway. it's all the cooked food with its non-nutritional

content that drives the desire to eat more and overeat.

 

i'll bring a tray of sliced vegetables and fruit to places of course.
