what I have found helpful is to NOT think of it as falling off the wagon, but,

rather, to think of it as making choices. I have made choices of all sorts. I am

responsible for all the choices I have made. If I have made a choice which I

subsequently feel was a poor one, I am free to make another choice at any time.

In addition to all the wonderful books and websites out there with really good

recipes, there are quite a number of recipes on the list website

rawfood

 

Look in food management, once you tear yourself away from all the other

information that is there.

 

I've tried to make the recipe files easy to access... rather than a long list of

recipes, they are grouped within folders, and grouped again within those

folders... I have worked to make them self-explanatory ... when I find myself

looking for a recipe that I know is there, that I cannot easily find, I

re-arrange (so, if you've already been there, be patient.. and use your

imagination to figure out where I have put them -- the most recent one I moved

was Tomato-based Recipes -- in my life, tomato-based recipes are about as

important as mayonnaise is to some other people, so I moved that folder to the

same level as mayonnaise.)

When I am starving when I get home, I find it very useful to include avocado in

the food. That seems to calm me down very quickly.

I know that some people are working on low fat, but it works for me.

(actually, I do have to work to get even the minimum of fat in my food, so an

avocado a day is not too much) Fat is the building block for cell walls, so I am

not afraid of natural, good fats. the way I figure it, if we are eating only

natural raw vegan foods, then the fat that comes in the actual foods cannot be

so bad.

I hope this helps.
