Did you ever stop and think about your most favorite memories?
I remember holidays with family, special moments with friends and hundreds of other celebrations and you know what the consistent theme is...food is always at every event. Isn't it funny how when we are going to a party or celebration we expect food to be there? As I am reading the 12 Steps to Raw Food by Victoria she highlights very thought provoking questions.
What if you went to a party or celebration and there was no food how would you feel? We link food to moments of reward, celebration, emotional turmoil and anything else we can think of.
If we only ate the foods that were nutritious for our body, would we really still have cake at birthdays, wings and beer at football games, candy at the movies, ice cream when we felt down? These things add nothing of value to our bodies but yet in still we consume them in large quantities.
I challenge you to look at your habits and see where you associate food with activities that are fantastic even without junk!
Try to watch a movie without food in your hands.

Hello all, I must say that I have more energy than ever before. I am on the go all day and not going home to take a mid day nap. Im still sticking to the rules, but its a daily stuggle. I tried to eat a sausage sandwhich today and boy did it not agree with me. Im thinking that once you go several days without heavy meat in your system, and try it later, its to much for your stomach. Once I got myself together, hours later, I ate a light turkey sandwich with fresh fruits and water for dinner. Chow Ladies
