Fruit and Vegetable Diet - Raw Food Cleanse and Lose Weight Fast - Update 6

December 6, 2008

Good Morning!

Because of some cooked food excursions and some junk food lately my body is screaming at me to do this raw food cleanse and follow through.  So I continue on….  I am experiencing some raw detox symptoms though… a bit of headache and definitely cravings for some of the foods I had previously splurged on.  I have to tell you that it is worth it….totally….I am glad I am doing it and my body is glad I am doing it.

I heard a really good idea from a health coach recently - hopefully i can share what she said and do it justice.

She said that during the holidays when food temptations were more present, she would carry a little 3 x 5 card with her that she would read throughout the day/event/whatever.

On that 3 x 5 card she had written how she wanted to feel when she woke up the next morning.  It was personal to her - but basically she would write how she wanted to wake up feeling alive and energetic after wonderful restful sleep, with increased joy and a sense of purpose in her life.

Having a positive message to herself written on the card that she referred to helped her make positive decisions for herself throughout each day.

She even said she would pull it out around friends and read it to herself when she was staring food temptations in the face - she said it really helped her.

I think I will create a card for myself to carry around. It sure can't hurt to remind myself to be loving and kind to myself and make good choices.

What do you think? Leave a comment below and let me know…

Have a great day!
