oops that link posted a bit funny


a BIT better.

Off to see the boyfriend now (who funnily enough has pretty much no idea that i'm even vegan)
How i manage to avoid eating around him, i don't know.... It's just easier that way considering he wont touch greens with a 10 ft pole.

That sounds a bit ridiculous. It's just not an issue YET i guess.... hmmm...

Thanks for the tip!! I'll try it out tomorrw

Hey beautiful, your new avatar is so pretty, that colour suits you, and dont you have gorgeous hair!

So your BF doesnt know you are vegan...lol, what would he do if he found out?...stop seeing you? I dont think so...and if it is a problem...plenty of spunky guys here would would wanna take you out!


The smell of banana bread and chocolate...hmmmmm, yes it takes courage and self belief to resist, but once oyu know the benefits of not choosing those "foods" it makes it somewhat easier...I am put into another dimension whan I smell a fresh ripe mango, or walk past ripe pineapple and rockmelon...hmmm spring onions and corriander..mint...oh the smells of fresh raw goodies!

Why are you feeling guilty about eating what you did, sounds very healthy to me, nothing wrong with satisfying a salt craving, and one teeny tiny avocado never hurts anyone, listen to your body, eat enough, chose the freshest, and you will be fine, late when ready you can read books that rp has here to better understand food combining and such....we learn as we go.

Hi Alana I just wanted to pop in and give you a big hug and send some love your way.

I love the quote it a good one I should use it on Pete when he doesnt feel like doing something hehehehe

You will get the high that the rest of the folks talk about you just have to give it time. You are doing so well.

Lots of love Angie

thankyou ange!! haha happy you like the quote!!

Day two of juice fasting is almost over and i cant explain the detox AHHHH!

had incredibly BAD cravings for BBQ CHICKEN of all things. i was so ready to give in. my head started trying to convince me that i NEEDED avocados or chicken or something! I drank SO much juice today and yesterday. very worried about the calorie content...

i just keep telling myself its detox but it is so difficult!i had a bit of soya sauce, and some agave later to try and compromise. i hope this is okay.

This is definitely alot harder than i thought I just made myself a veggie (tomato, brocolli, carrot, celery and beetroot) juice which was delicious and killed all my cravings. its just so hard when im at work and dont have access to a juicer, and all the local shops at the mall only sell fruit juice (for a very inflated price). Also i couldnt bring myself to work out today. i feel terrible about it. i was going to go for a long walk but its just started bucketing down

On the plus side, no more cramps or bloating

EVC that just answered so many questions for me. Thankyou so much for being so open.

I'll start being more obvious about being raw and see where it goes. That is great about C. You are both very very lucky and i'm so happy that it's working like that for you looks like there is hope for me yet!!! I can't imagine how incredible it would be to find a partner interested in all the same things. Literally NO-ONE i know is RAW, Vegan or EVEN vegetarian.

It's funny that you say that about one sister thinking it will kill her social life. I think it's what you make of it. I've avoided eating out a few times just not to be a hassle (which is probably more so true now that i'm fasting haha), which i need to now stop, so i guess in a sense i see where she is coming from. It's just strange how so many people i know will say "oh, but if i have to go out for a company dinner, or something important and order vegan they'll think that i'm insane, plus there wont be any food". Vegan is easy. Raw so far hasn't been easy - having to resort to lightly steamed veggies, but there is always something.


Day 3 of my fast and for the first time i think i can do it. I have to start upping the intake of green juice. I havent been able to find a nice one yet but the spinach, pear and apple one in berrys thread might be on the cards for lunch.

I had the most AMAZING juice this morning - an entire punet of strawberries and 2 pink lady apples. I can't even describe the taste. it was by far the most beautiful thing ive ever made in my life!! This fasting business just got a whole lot better :D
