Two Months Raw

[Guest guest]

I'm celebrating two months raw today. You can all send me

congratulations. Aren't you proud of me? A sneaky snow snuck in

here last night. Looks like about four inches out there. I had an

offer of a part-time tax job but I turned it down. I have enough

money for my produce and what do I want with some part-time temporary

job and then have to find a job in a couple months again. I'm a CPA

but I've done enough personal returns in my life and I don't much

enjoy it anyway. I want to work for a company or corporation as a

staff accountant. Does anyone have any leads out there for me? I

see people with jobs that they like and I really don't want to work

unless it's something that I would enjoy doing. If I had to, of

course, I'd take anything, but I don't have to. Besides, my self-

esteem is growing eating raw and it's a matter of my worth that I

only want to do something that would be a career, not a temporary

money-making, boring, leave and find something else job.

 

I have plenty to do anyway. I enjoy getting up early on this diet

and experiencing a full day. I'll be heading into Phila. soon and go

to whatever activities I can find. A talk, the rare books library,

that movie about Deep Throat and another talk at the Penn Writer's

Center are on my agenda today. I had a sex addict's dream again last

night, just can't turn the stuff down. I'm just too loving a guy on

my raw food diet. Feeling better about my life overall makes me want

to express myself sexually more too. I hope I get over it, I'd like

to be more moral in this area. I hope that movie that's out has some

healing effect for me. Obviously, I don't want it to set me off in

any way. Sex for love in marriage and for children is

what I'd like to believe in. Even if I never get married, I'd still

like to think and believe that way.

 

Up early and up late with about six hours sleep and fully rested for

another good day, I like this diet. I'd need 10 hours sleep to

recover from a cooked food day, and the rest of the day wouldn't have

half as much activity in it.

What are your menus for the days that you have been raw? I need some

assistance with menus.

Froggy,

 

congrats on your two months!!!

 

I work for an accounting firm, its crappy this time of year. I dont blame you

for turning it down. I know a lot of CPA's that have gone to private financial

advisors and enjoyed that a lot more. You could incorporate your raw food

knowledge, financial planning, and personal insights to an all around life coach

taking care of the inner, outer and the future of peoples lives.

 

You know when it comes to casual sex, it can be addicting to have the immediate

pleasure with zero commitment. I used to be addicted to one night stands. I

had no use for a man after I used him once. It was just a phase for me, yet

still a very hard habit to break. I did find that im such a cuddly kind of

person that the " wham bam: of it all left me so utterly unfulfilled.

 

I do find that the raw diet is not just about food, but also about healing.

No menus, I just eat plain, whole, raw produce and raw nuts. Just

pick it up and eat it, peel it and cut it up as necessary. All the

foods that you can get at a produce store or that aisle of the

supermarket that sells produce, raw nuts are around in markets too.

I'd like to work for an accounting firm, I just don't want some part-

time tax job and then go looking for another job in a couple of

months. What's the point to that, I want a career. I'd work a temp

to perm job for an accounting firm if I could find one, and of

course, at this time of year, it may be mostly doing tax work.

You're lucky to be working. I'm not into financial advising, I'm not

into money in that way, I just like to keep track of it with

accounting methods. My real goal is to work for a private

corporation as a staff accountant doing journal entries, working on

the general ledger and financial statements, etc.

 

I'd probably make a good life coach but I don't have much interest in

that either. What I said is my real goal is all I'm really

interested in doing. I once gave a coaching organization a $1000 or

so about three years ago because I really thought I would do it, but

then I didn't go to where they were holding the classes.

 

The pleasure of sex versus the intellectual knowledge of wanting

growth, love, commitment, joy, etc. with a person is hard to

reconcile. At least it is so far for me, but I plan to come to some

sort of mental peace of mind about this issue sooner or later.

Temporary sex with someone may leave me unfulfilled but it feels much

too good physically. Still, there must be an answer to mental peace

of mind about relations and sex. My only root to mental healing is

this diet.

I guess that is the best way to do it. I am not good at making recipes. I

like the simple and easy way and if that is not good, then I am in trouble. I

have heard that people eat fruit for breakfast and lunch. My stomach would be

screaming at me if I did that. I have the impression that the fatty raw foods

help stay on my stomach longer and I don't get hungry as fast and then I wont

eat so much all of the time. I am really having a rough time with staying 100%

raw.

 

Does anyone know anything about Chia Seed?

Hi Melba,

 

I agree with you that simplicity is best - complicated recipes are not

neccessary at all! I eat fruit for breakfast and lunch, and often include

lettuce and/or celery. Often, I will blend the fruits into a smoothie. I

find it helpful to include bananas at breakfast and lunch - they are very

filling.

At dinner, I eat a large salad that includes one fatty food (either avocado,

coconut, olives or nuts). I find that it works better to eat nuts or other

fatty foods in the evening and to eat only one type of fatty food at a time,

because they take much longer to digest. After eating dinner, I avoid eating

anything until breakfast the next morning - this allows ample time for

digestion. If I'm really hungry, I'll munch on a piece of celery or lettuce.

 

I highly recommend reading The Raw Secrets: The Raw Vegan Diet in the Real

World , and Raw Soups, Salads and Smoothies: Simple Recipes for Everyday

Health, both by Frederic Patenaude; and The High Energy Diet Recipe Guide,

by Douglas Graham. These books have had a profound influence on my approach

to raw/living foods.

 

Peace,

 

Francesca

I rely on two avocados a day, that's one thing that I just have to

have. As far as the other produce, I just mix it up. And I haven't

missed a day without some raw nuts either. I eat any of my produce

at each meal, time of day doesn't matter, so I have vegetables and

fruit at each meal, probably more vegetable than fruit at each one

two. But all my meals basically look the same, mostly vegetable or

vegetable fruits and some fruit. I eat a lot, I think, over the

course of a day, eating every four hours about.

I've been having bananas as my last meal of the day, I get sick of

eating all that produce all day long. Time of the day and number of

meals don't mean anything to me. I eat right before I go to bed

usually, or I keep having meals right up until then.

Rich, Have you had jobs before? Or is this your first one? Are you young?

and just starting out? Or old and wanting to change paths? Have you any

special talents or interests? Do you like to work at home? or go out to do

it? Lane

--- I just started eating raw. I love it. Last nite, I made my

first raw soup. Eventually, I am going 100% raw. This is so nice,

speaking with others that are into this way of life. I come from a

small town, where streets are littered with fast food resteraunts,

and the produce is not the best, least of all organic. I've decided

to grow lettuce in doors (at least I am going to try). I have not

tried as of yet to make my own sprouts - but I will.

[Guest guest]

Lol, I'm an old man at 41 and worked many, many, many jobs. I

remember my alcoholic days before graduating college in '87 when I,

of course, went from one menial job to the next. Then I got my

degree, after 7 years of alcoholism and hating college, and got a

staff accountant job with a CPA firm in Philadelphia and worked there

a couple years getting my CPA in the process. Then I discovered some

New Age literature that I hadn't seen before and it threw me for a

loop. I quit my job because I was so overwhelmed with all the

interesting, new information available and spent a few years temping

at jobs (always job searching, of course) and reading. I've had a

few other full-time jobs since then, of course, some in public

accounting or as an accounting manager (really a full-charge

bookkeeper). I've temped a lot too. A very round, varied

experience, I like to think of it. Of course, I wish I had found a

job with a company and stayed there for 20 years so that I would be a

highly respected, responsible executive with a very high salary, but

it didn't happen. I still have aspirations of it happening someday,

but I don't know if it ever will. I'm always into the job search.

All those jobs I had that I mentioned I lost for various reasons, one

I was let go for a stupid reason, most I quit.

 

I don't want to change paths, I like accounting, if I can find

something to do in that field. I've no special talents and my only

interests are this diet and my spiritual texts. I don't like to work

at home or work for myself, too hard to get started and I like

working for a big company anyway.

Congratulations and a great decision. You will do fine and soups are one of

my favorite. Welcome to the world of higher vibration!

Enjoy the lettuce.
