Hey fruities! Hope you're all having a fantastic week so far :) Just to let you know about a new group I've started on facebook called 'Don't Wait for Weight' - it's a fun-filled place for us fruity peeps to inspire, support, and encourage each other as we enjoy this amazing journey of life, forgetting about weight and focusing on all the amazing opportunities the world has to offer! Lots of great posts happening already, and would be wonderful to have you join us! Here's a link with some more information: http://www.facebook.com/groups/453624108042870/

Hey all (and Anastasia/Champagne Mango, yay!!! glad to hear it, girl!!),

I just made a video that I thought I would share here.  I am happily recovered from my 15-year eating disorder for 5 years now, and happy that I can be living the LF/HCRV lifestyle for 2 years now.  This video is more for people who don't know about HCRV, but it may have some stuff that can be helpful to you.  Love, Tash

Hi there,

I need a bit of support at the moment. I've been binge eating lately.. but it's not because of hunger!

I worry that I'm making this worse by consuming lots of fruit the first half of the day, and then in the second half going crazy on fats, breads, peanut butter etc. 

If i'm eating a 'SAD' diet.. then am I just making it worse by not limiting my fruits? I worry that I'm packing on the weight because of the mix of vegan poor choices and vegan good choices - 

I know I need to make the decision to stick to one way of eating, but I'm having real difficulties knowing what to do at the moment in terms of doing this raw food thing properly. Maybe someone can recommend a food coach or some examples of what is a good sample diet for the transition?

Hey all, just an update. I've come so so so far from anorexia and bulimia. I don't participate in either on a regular basis, in fact the last occurrence was months and months ago. A day at a time, and time has spanned out to a beautiful existence. There is hope for everyone on here. I've been going to AA to help me keep the straight and narrow and out of my addiction of ED and it's helped in conjunction with the raw vegan lifestyle, and in fact helps to keep me raw vegan. Good luck to everyone.

Daniela!  It is so true what you say and my experience exactly!  The more I am living this lifestyle, the less I am able to tolerate not listening to my heart and not following a path that is true for me.  Not only does what you eat change, but your LIFE changes!  Change may be scary, but I've learned to embrace it.  I know, deep down, that whatever changes evolve with a life of me living closer to nature, to my spirit, is good and is only supportive and loving.

Yesterday I was asked to do something at work that didn't jive with me.  I almost instantly got sick to my stomach, wanted to throw up, got a headache.  My body instantly reacted!!  It was a very cool experience.  Time to live a life guided by light.  Living this way clears my world for me.

Xoxo!

Daniela that's beautiful. I have experienced similar things as far as severe physical reactions to being out of alignment with what's true for me. Thanks for bringing it up.

eating disorders are awesome...an alcohol addictive can avoid his drug, but i or we have to learn to eat the right way again. Beside eating enought and the right things, i have good experience with keeping an eye on the energetic side. Whenever i do something that i dont wanna do, means, when i do not follow my own path, i feel like i wanna puke...or when i am with people i do not like, i wanna puke. Anyone knows this?

That longer i am raw and that clearer my perception becomes, that more i realise whats going on on the energetic level.

I learned i have to keep my aura/energetic body clean from everyone and everything that harms me. That does not means to be weak, but to be aware of peoples energy.

Ok so I don't know where else to post this, but I need to get it off my chest. It has do with my eating and relation and reaction to food, which has for a long time now been far from healthy or hcrv (meal skipping, binge eating, eating 1 or 2 meals a day, sometimes thinking I shouldn't eat at all etc... bad, I know) and I've noticed I've been feeling extremely weak physically, sometimes feel this odd short-lasting pain in my heart that makes me panic but I forget what it feels like, I've felt nauseous when eating, have been having bad appetite, nothing has been tasting good, and sometimes I've felt completely emotionally numb. I've still eaten some cooked vegan because the little fruit I've been able to cram in hasn't kept me satisfied and I've just went for the cooked even though I hate how it tastes and makes me feel. So yeah don't know if this is supposed to be posted here but I'm going to step it up now, start eating enough fruit and drinking enough water starting from tomorrow and see where it goes. I will do my best to fight these disordered thoughts. I just cannot deal with feeling this way anymore. I notice all of these depressing and basically OCD-like intrusive thoughts and self-loathing bulls*** coming into my head when I undereat. Whoever it was that said long-term undereating/lack of glucose to the brain leads to mental issues and all of that was 100% right. It's unbearable. But I'll get myself out of this. Fruit to the rescue. <3 Dates and all of that good stuff. If anyone else has been struggling, I'm rooting for you! But hope you all are doing well with the lifestyle. (sorry for über long post) :P

So more calories are lost to the digestion of the whole foods or the processed foods?
