Okay, so now I’m going through it. Withdrawal. From food and chewing. I started my juicing cleanse yesterday, on Monday. All good diets start on Monday or the first of the month or the first of the year. Why? Because we need time to get adjusted emotionally to our new state of consumption. Going 100% […]
I peeked at the scale today, one day early. It was Sunday morning and I’d committed to weighing myself only on Monday mornings. I was shocked. I’d only lost 1.4 lbs. since my weigh-in last Monday. I’d started exercising, walking 5 days last week (sometimes twice in a day). So I just knew the scale […]
This is a strange confession coming from a raw-food lifestyle teacher but.. After class I have the urge to go out to eat cooked food – and most of the time I used to indulge. Last night after class, the urge hit me. I wanted something that was savory and substantive and ethnic. Visions of my […]
Oh, yeah – my life interfered. This post is another twist from the past. I had already lost more than 150 lbs. (getting down to 170+ lbs.) and had 50 more to go. Getting from 320 down to 210 was accomplished merely by going nearly all raw, vegan and organic. The next 50 lbs. was accomplished after […]
This post is one of those twists from the past, written back when I weighed 150 lbs. after being on the Master Cleanse for 20+ days. I lost a total of 33 lbs. in 36 days (getting down to a size 8 at 133 lbs. – my smallest ever in my post college adult life) and I […]
About 8 years ago I went to Euphoria Loves RAWvolution – a raw food cafe/store in Santa Monica – where I fell into deep admiration for how they varied their menu. There were a choice of breads or foundations, and a choice of main toppings like spreads or sauces, and then there were was a […]
So I completed my first week of 100% raw with no problems or temptations. Having made the decision to act like I’m worth it, I have been able to stay the course. The satisfaction and self-esteem that I’ve gained from keeping my promise to myself has allowed me to stop dreaming about food. (I’m praying that this continues […]
We, the People, used to grow/raise our own food and ferment or preserve it. Now, most of us are at least two generations from knowing how to produce and preserve our own food. We’re mostly dependent upon the food industry for just about everything. And we’re dependent upon the pharmaceutical industry for everything else. What’s […]
A big smile is on my face as I write this post. I stood up today from my exercises without grabbing a chair for support. I didn’t even think about it, I just stood up, and then it hit me what I’d done. I’ve attain a new level of freedom. I’ve gained enough in coordination […]
I promised I would share the gifts the universe brought to me when I asked for help. Today I want to share Christopher Maher, my soul brother. I met him in 2006 when I was looking for help with my son, Joshua. Joshua was always angry. I heard that this man, Chris, had a way of stretching […]
