Stop Beating Yourself Up for Beating Yourself Up - Blogdate 2/15/10
Hi Jinjee,
I have tried to eat mainly or all raw food on and off for several years. Usually I make it anywhere between 1-3 months with occasional cheating before I go back to a cooked vegan diet (high carbs-bread etc).
This time it has been a bit over 1 month. I was handling my emotions quite well actually, no slip ups at all. I've juice feasted for a few days in the beginning, now yesterday I began a water/tea fast. I felt fine with it, other than the detoxing symptoms. Well, I was sitting there, drinking my tea, enjoying a sudoku puzzle, without a care in the world, when all of the sudden I was hit with a huge impulse to eat the last slice of raw apple pie. I took a moment to acknowledge my feelings and thought I moved on. Before I knew it I was in the kitchen- pie finished, apple buckwheat cookies eaten, then on to my daughter's leftover cooked pasta with sauce and a fake chicken patty.
I started to beat myself up about this but I thought better of it. I am reaching out to you, hoping maybe you have insight on how to continue from here and/or kind words of encouragement...
:o)
Thanks,
K

Hi K,
I go through the same thing, except these days I don't do the cooked stuff, probably because I have enough raw-comfort foods in my repertoire now.
Definitely don't beat yourself up, but then again don't beat yourself up for beating yourself up! It is all a process. And you are doing the very best you can with what you have right now. Nursing my children has taught me that Emotional Eating is not always inappropriate, especially if you turn to healthy foods to help calm and comfort you in stressful situations. It is obviously one of the ways nature has set up to comfort us. I write more about all this in my eBook "The Yoga of Nursing"...
There are skills we can learn to calm ourselves, and I guess these skills present themselves when we are ready, or when we really want to do something about the situation. I have just learned some deep breathing, meditation, relaxation techniques that are I think really going to help me with this. Also, I've started really visualizing and praying for, and affirming my dedication to my health! I'm ready for it! :)
Just be patient with yourself, and keep on trying! I think its a combination and balance of having complete faith while also actually trying our hardest! I think that's a recipe for success in any endeavor!

My music hobby...Right now, I am admitting that music is my hobby. I would love to eventually do it as my career, and make raw foods my hobby, but right now I'm embracing my reality as-is! I do love my work here in my "garden" - which is how I think of this website. And I do love making music in my studio! But I don't consider my music really professional yet. Maybe my instrumental stuff. But the voice... I'm still finding it....Right now I'm having fun working on a song called "The Unicorn"....It is a song that I think will appeal to girls in their early teens...I've always thought the unicorn represents some kind of magic of that phase....being enchanted by some mythical creature and its fantasy world...it is like a metaphor for the world of love we're about to explore! I've done about a hundred takes, and now I just need to edit! As I'm only giving my hobby an hour a day, that could take a couple of weeks...So, look out for "The Unicorn"....."Coming Soon"! :)
I had an amazing epiphany. I think that I'm just coming to a real awareness of what the Raw Vegan Diet is. It really did not matter that much to me in my twenties. I felt fine but everyone around me felt pretty good also for the most part. I kind of coasted through my thirties with no real awareness or connection between the Raw Vegan Diet and my over all health. My forties were pretty much the same I just felt really good, but for the most part I was focused on my art career. It wasn't until I hit my middle fifties that I began to realize that something really strange was happening. I became a Raw Vegan in 1972 and after my initial excitement the novelty wore off and because I was catching so much heat from everyone around me I just stopped not only talking about it but even thinking about it. I just mainly did it out of habit.
Now that I'm in my 57th year I'm really starting to think that maybe this Raw Vegan Diet might be the fountain of youth. Scientists will tell you that there is no scientific basis regarding any of the claims made by Raw Vegans and in a way they may be right. But in order for them to do long term testing if the Raw Vegan Diet is valid or not it would take anywhere from 50 to 100 years of testing groups of people and animals. In short all of us would be dead before the verdict was in.........click here to read on (photo of Storm, age 57, taken 7/11/06)
My new Daily Raw Blog, with an expanded version of the daily raw inspiration, at dailyraw.blogspot.com seems to be becoming my current favorite place to blog!
Today I came across a beautiful film exploring the positive life choices that underlie a raw Vegan lifestyle. Watching this family really reminds us what can be achieved in any life if we have the vision and the compassion to make it real.
Thank you for providing such tasty recipes in the ebooks. I have had other raw books and even if they inspire me to try the recipes - which they all don't - the actual recipes don't turn out tasty. Yours always are wonderful - how do you do it? (Jinjee: We use recipes that we eat and enjoy ourselves!)
My family and I enjoyed the Breakthrough movie. We are enjoying better health since going raw. We have effortlessly lost 70 pounds altogether. 20 pounds of it coming from my 15 year old daughter!
Thank you for publishing information of such great benefit to us. Looking forward to learning more.
As we ofter don't get to answer all the questions and comments we receive via email every day, we'll feature questions here on the website, updated from time to time...
Question of the week
Q: It's my third week of being RAW...I've been slowly incorporating changes and I sure do love this way of feeling. Weeks one and two I was pretty much sick all the time with colds, but this third week is different, and I feel so alive!
*deep belly breath of joy*
Two concerns...1: I've always suffered from chronic low iron...should I take supplements?
2: I've been using nuts as a main source of protein, but what else is there for protein sources? I would like to lose weight.
A: Congrats on going raw and getting through the detox!!! Re. your two questions, they both have the same answer! -- Dark Leafy Greens! Dark Leafy Greens like kale, chard, bok choy, spinach, mustard greens, dandelion greens and dark lettuces like red leaf lettuce and romaine lettuce....and also dark green veggies like broccoli, parsley, and cilantro all have incredible amounts of iron and the most easily absorbed protein known to man!

Raw Food News
Great news for raw vegans!
An article came out in the mainstream media picked up by Reuters which means it can be picked up by any newspaper. Some quotes from the article are below with a link to the article online. Also below that you'll find a link to a page that links to the 40 or so publications that have picked up the story. A few of them twisted the story around and made it negative but by far most of them saw it as a positive endorsement of the raw vegan diet.
Health - Reuters
"Raw Food Vegans Thin But Healthy, Study Finds"
"Fontana expected the vegans to have low vitamin D levels because they avoid dairy products, which are fortified with the vitamin. But in fact their vitamin D levels were "markedly higher" than average".
"And the vegans had low levels of C-reactive protein, an inflammatory molecule that is becoming linked with the risk of heart disease, diabetes and other chronic disease".
"Furthermore, they had lower levels of IGF-1, a growth factor linked to risk of breast and prostate cancer".

Living food is the yummiest food on earth. It is where all the other flavors come from. It is what they use to spice and season the cooked stuff. It is impossible to top! The basic flavors were given to us by the natural kingdom that also gave us the basic colors, musical tones, and amazing scents. All of these things have something divinely perfect in their essence. And they seem to me to have been provided as building blocks for us to work with, to be creative and fill the world with all kinds of beauty. We have done amazing things with colors and tones and scents. And I think that with the advent of the raw-vegan culinary arts we are coming into an age of sumptuous orchestrations and true masterpieces to please not just the palate, but to invigorate the whole being – palate, mind, body, and soul! ~ Jinjee, The Daily Raw Inspiration
