Breaking breakfast into parts seems to help, like having fruit and then when I feel hungry again, having something more solid, or more fruit. I use to be a total soda addict too, and then went to only drinking it occasionally, and now I can't even remember the last time I had soda. It was definitely a journey though and took me a while to get to this place. I’m finding the same thing, that I have to eat more than fruit for breakfast.

I keep shaking my head going "oh yeah, uh huh, me too!" to almost everything. Luckily I quit my coffee addiction some time ago, but I do still crave soda. It's been about 7 months since I stopped drinking it regularly - I've had a few slip ups here and there, but I think for me caffeine was all about the act of drinking it versus the jolt itself. I still have green tea occasionally, but I don't miss coffee -- just the smell. I cannot eat just fruit for breakfast. I am STARVING if I do, and my blood sugar generally doesn't like me. I'm good with something like a green smoothie and maybe some type of carb, like sprouted grain toast + avocado (my new favorite breakfast!) and the food combining, while still overwhelming, makes me realize that I really need to start paying attention to it due to digestive issues. Salad dressing looks yum! New camera is awesome! My thoughts are scattered, so apologies for that. Oh lady, I am all about this post.

I was not able to rid myself of it until I a) allowed myself to eat as much healthy raw foods as I wanted (no salt or spices, as those were big trouble makers for me) and b) addressed my emotional ties to food, which was mainly boredom. Voila...no more cravings or binges! I actually just posted an article on binge eating on my blog...perfect timing with 4th of July weekend just ending. ;) Love the My Little Pony parade, btw. Gosh, how I miss being a little girl sometimes. :D Swayze http://fitonraw.com/blog You’re definitely not alone when it comes to emotional eating.

I've been looking for new raw foods to incorporate into my breakfast and lunch. I LOVE the idea of a RAW salad dressing!!! What a great idea!! I also took your fruit advice. I got into work at 6:15 today and had my fruit. I'll wait a couple hours and then have the rest of my breakfast. We'll see if it makes a difference. I love hearing about all this! EXCITING! Oh yeah, and as always your girls are adorable!!! -A I’m doing Vegmom’s 30 day raw food challenge. I’ve been looking for new raw foods to incorporate into my breakfast and lunch.

Coffee is probably going to be the next thing to go. I've tried going without it and wound up with a withdrawal headache... must wean myself off of it slowly. I’m glad to know this isn’t in my head!

I haven't had coffee in two weeks. I didn't think I could go a day without hummus. I had some tonight and was like....hmmm, I like guac better. I'm not living for my next meal or planning it out in my head. I'm getting the combos down and I'm happy and energetic. I'm lovin it. I have to try that dressing!!! Yum.
