Adding LIFE to your years and years to your life!

new week

3 pounds gone...not much on the scale, but I feel smaller in my middle. headache is finally gone..darn blood pressure. so proud of my brother. so when it comes to healthy eating, there is a love/hate relationship there. I don't want him morbidly obese like me so I encourage him to eat less fast food etc. baby steps. today I was preparing lunch which was banana, strawberry and blueberry salad in a bowl..I made him one and he ate it..just shocked...gonna make him one daily when I make mine hopefully it will take lol. He is a big guy, but I don't want him to suffer like I have. No one is to blame for the way I am but me. Its my addiction, but everyday is a new day. It takes all my strength not to pull in a fast food place, but I don't because I know that there is more to life than the 10 minutes of a greasy something. Well enough ramblings from me. Hope everyone has a great week!!!

Comment by colette doran on January 24, 2013 at 1:26am: Wow your doing amazing. I agree that eventually the cravings and thoughts of fast food go as you start resenting thr horrible man made foods that make you addicted and ill. I did anyway. Now im just thankful to be eating well. Me and hubby became vegan but not for health reasons although it should of been but it started all my journey off and then I found its a high raw life on you tube and never looked back just keep looking forward :-)

Comment by Mae Jardine on January 23, 2013 at 8:43am: Wanted to let you know, Amanda, I did use your fruit salad combination with an addition of shelled hemp seeds and a few raw walnuts for breakfast and it was delicious. Also sipped on a small juice size glass of my homemade vanilla almond milk. Couldn't help but think of you and your determination to stick to your goal and be a good influence on your brother. You have inspired me as well : )

Comment by Mae Jardine on January 22, 2013 at 8:05pm: You are doing so well, Amanda! Your written accounts are very inspirational.

Your banana, strawberry, blueberry fruit salad sounds so good that I'm thinking I'll use it with a sprinkle of shelled hemp seeds and a few walnut pieces for breakfast tomorrow. Hope you are having a great week also : )

Comment by Janet Carol Ryan on January 22, 2013 at 4:35pm: As I have travelled this good raw road for more than 2 years now, I find that the temptations have fallen away almost entirely and if I do feel tempted to eat a 'greasy something' I remember how awful that feels in my body as compared to how I feel with fresh living foods. I know that it can feel like an uphill climb - I'm glad that you are here in this wonderful community - there is so much inspiration and encouragement and so many resources for our healthy choices.

blessings to you.
