Rebounding

So it’s September 15th, and today marks 20 days that I have successfully controlled what I eat! My diet presently consists of whole, unprocessed fruits and vegetables. My soul has been breathing a sigh of relief for a while now. It’s crazy how long I’ve wanted to be on this journey, how many times I’ve…

How to Get Back on the Wagon When You Fall Off

Falling off the wagon.  Losing focus.  Overindulgence.  The act of saying, “I can get away with that,” one time too many.  It happened to me.  And I found a way back. Returning to old habit patterns can happen for different reasons.  A stressful event, family or friends coming to visit, travel, a major schedule change…

Rituals

Alternate post title: “How I Avoid Stress Eating, Part 2” The work I do every day takes me terribly far out of alignment with who I am at my core frequency. So much so, that, up until recently, I would come home and eat anything I could get a hold of, in anxiety and frustration….

Food Addicts Anonymous

“Hi, my name is Angie…and I’m a food addict.” (Hiii Angie.) It’s clear to me that I am, considering that I’m triggered by the slightest tip of the emotional pendulum.  Feeling off balance?  I’ll have a snack.  Better yet, let me just go get a bunch of sweet and or salty and or fatty “treats”…

Entering the Gate

Today is March 15th and I begin again. I’m hearing about people dying of preventable illnesses.  Heart disease.  My own heart has been speaking to me.  Crying out for years.  I know what I need to do.  I guess I always feel like I’ll have one more chance to make the right food choices.  The…

Quote of the Year

Don’t trade what you want most for what you want now. ~Zig Ziglar (This helped me today. Alot.)

It’s really sad…

…when I think about how many times I have tried to be a raw foodist and failed. Seven years of knowing. Seven years of straddling the fence and being inconsistent.  At this point I have to figure this out so I can help someone else.

Eat For Tomorrow

I feel pretty ok today. Still the same aches as usual, but less of the sluggish fog that comes from digestion of crappy foods.  Yesterday I ate grapes, dried figs, 2 avocados, 1/2 gallon of water, and I caved and had a bowl of elbow macaroni with vegan mayo.  Sitting around, procrastinating, not doing anything,…

Flailing 

I’m starting to lose the feeling of the “why.”  In my mind, I know my reasons for going raw and doing what I want to do, but I feel myself slipping into thoughts of how easy it would be to warm up and eat the Patty LaBelle peach cobbler in the freezer and start again…

Emo Release Post (ER)

I want something salty!!  I want the pistachios! I want to go out and get chips!!! I want pizza!!!!! Ughh!!! So now the monsters inside me are beginning to bellow.  I haven’t gone to the store yet, and with the exception of a few apples and one tomato, there’s nothing in the house that fits…
