Fruity bootys, i have missed you all so much.
So, i have still yet to get back on the banana wagon
TODAY i have done well all day. i dont want to go back to crap food anymore i feel sick and it doesnt get me anywhere except farther away from what i truly want!
ive been watching loads and loads of videos on youtube from megan mcdonnell, kristina, josh, chris randall, freelee, just everyone i aspire to be like with the 811 lifestyle.
right now i am sitting here in stomach ache turmoil. i made a recipe i had never had to stray away from bananas because i want some variety (i am hoping more variety in my day will help me get back on track better). mangos+scallions blended with cucumber slices to dip. i of course am not blaming the fruit, but i have such a bad stomach ache! i hope it passes....my head kills as well.....i felt so amazing after my 12 nanner smoothie with raspberries. then i ate this and i feel crappy! maybe i ate them too close together?...or maybe i havent drank enough water. i am on my second liter now. hoping it makes my stomach ache vanish, maybe its gas...
anyways, after watching one of megan and josh's recent videos on cooked food cravings, it really hit home. i took out my iphone and put all of the tips in my notes so whenever i get that craving or urge i go right to the list and answer all of the questions and think of the tips. heres the list i put in my phone, it was very helpful when i was stressing over my cravings and maybe it will help others! and of course, watch megan and josh's video!
1. Does my body want THIS (food ur craving), or more CALORIES in general?
2. Have i eaten ENOUGH cals today?
3. Notice everything you're feeling when you are craving.
4. Love and happiness from food you are craving can be found WITHIN
5. Be aware of your OPTIONS!
6. Focus on what you want the food to do for you, focus on your GOALS!
7. What is really IMPORTANT to u?
8. BREATHE!
this list helped me so much and the video was the reason for it! im so determined to get back on this 811 wagon because when i was on it i never felt better. its what i want, and that desire is bigger than any "satisfaction/comfort" i could get from any crap food.
later banana heads! <3

Comment by Rachael Courter on May 17, 2012 at 10:18am Thanks for adding me as a friend! LOL I've totally lurked on your page before but felt too intimidated to add you! (I've read a few of your discussions in the past) Anyway, I totally understand all of your struggles, only YOU have definitely accomplished more than I have on this diet/lifestyle. I literally try 811 like once a month and always fail. Really tiresome and frustrating, but I'm just taking it one day at a time... Day 4 starts tomorrow for me! Keep it strong Jennelle :)
Comment by Jennelle LeMoine on March 20, 2012 at 1:47pm @fruitsandnumbers wow, i have never felt so touched from a stranger, ur words are deeply appreciated and heartfelt. that partnership idea sounds fantastic. i think if i did that it would give me more of an incentive to not cave in to cravings. i want this so bad, i feel like theres a little devil inside me when i start craving cooked junky food saying "eat it, it will be your last time" sadly, the devil has been saying it to me for months, and there hasnt been a last time yet. ive struggled with so many medical probs and depression and i dont want to suffer anymore. message me about the partnership and how it works :)
Comment by fruitsandnumbers on March 20, 2012 at 1:40pm A great way to stay 100% LFRV is doing partnerships. I'm currently on a 60 day partnership with a girl from New York. I have to tell her everything I eat and have signed the compromise not to eat any cooked food whatsoever, not even a spoonful. That's what is making me stay totally raw these days.
You know, it's easy to stay low fat, to me at least, because I'm not craving any fats in the first place and they are not particularly appealing to me right now; and whenever I eat them I know when to stop, so I never overeat on them.
But with cooked foods, it's a wholly different matter... It is so tempting to eat a spoonful of a dish my mother has prepared, just to feel the taste of it! After all, only one spoonful won't do any harm, will it? And that's pretty much what I had been doing before this partnership. Now I don't even touch cooked food.
If you would like to do that, I'd be far more than willing and in fact deeply honored to be your buddy.
If you ever need help, please ask me. I'm here to help you. I promise I'll always do whatever I can to try to help in whatever you need.
Love, Daniel <3
Comment by fruitsandnumbers on March 20, 2012 at 1:23pm Hey Jennelle! Thank you so much for sharing your story! Your commitment to the LFRV lifestyle is moving! You're an inspiration for me to go on!
You know, once I told this to a girl, and she said it was really hard, and she was only beginning... But that's why your commitment is so moving! You are still IN despite all difficulties! It's not because you know everything and do everything perfectly, no! It's because you struggle every day, like all of us. You are an inspiration to me, I speak in all sincerity. It is really moving to see that there are people who are so devoted to live in unity with nature. I am nearly crying as I write this...
You're such a shining star! I'm absolutely sure the path you have taken will bear fruit to you and make you shine even brighter! You are a wonderful person and your mere existence already makes the world a better place to live in. And you are working hard everyday to make our world an even better place. I love you, my sweet dear friend!
Stay beautiful and fruity!
Daniel <3 <3 <3 : ) : ) : )
