my week

[Guest guest]

Thanks for sharing this, Carolyn; the timing was great for me. I have been

struggling with some pretty strong emotions recently, and desires for some of

the old comfort foods has been strong. It helps to hear other stories, other

experiences.

 

Again, thanks...Valerie

Hi everyone,

 

I've been having a hard time this week and I just thought I'd share what's

happening.....

.....I was staying raw by sheer will power each day. I was shaky, I was weepy,

I

was emotional, I longed to eat, eat, eat. I responded by eating more raw

food and eating earlier in the day than was usual for me. Finally, I emailed

Elchanan for help. We talked by phone yesterday and he explained that my need

for more fuel had caught up with me. I was dealing with more emotions than

usual after seeing my mom, and that required more fuel. I have young

children that need me and that requires fuel.

 

Elchanan assured me that my body's signals were quite normal and that my

response, eating more raw foods, was completely appropriate. Just hearing that

helped me feel better.

Hi Valerie..

 

one thing I find that has been working for me lately, when dealing with

emotions and finding a craving for old comfort foods, I eat a large,

fresh date..it helps me.

 

all the best,

Thanks for the suggestion, Bob, dates do help when the sweet craving kicks in;

however, I do have to admit, a large sweet date does not immediately pop into my

head when craving something hot, savory, preferably with melted cheese....

 

One thing I've noticed is that even a few minutes of exercise, rebounding,

walking, tai chi, yoga, etc., can be enough to break my mind away from the

cravings. That is, if I can get myself moving and past feeling sorry for myself

(my Eeyore moments...) :-)

my week

 

 

Thank you everyone for the great idea's for a week's worth of meals.

I felt that I should post a week myself..so here is what I have been

doing so far. My biggest problem is that being kosher, we don't mix

meats and dairy...and I live with my parents while I am landscaping

their yard and dad is a carnie.

 

Cheesy Potates, Salad, green beans

 

Meat (-less) taco's with all the fixings (I use that new 40% less

salt taco seasoning)

 

V-8 soup, hard rolls ( if you want the recipe let me know, its great

and easy)

 

Large salad, with all the fresh vegis and such, whole wheat bread

 

Black bean chilie, sour cream and cheese and croutons, cinamon rolls

 

Stuffed twice Baked potatoes, cheese, mushrooms, etc, salad

 

Soba noodles with lots of vegis.

 

Ok...I also eat a ton of fresh fruit during the day. But thats my "

basic " week.

 

Thanks again everyone for some great idea's !
