Emotional Detox

RawKaren

Just wondered how others on this forum cope with the emotional detoxing that being raw can often bring. I am an on and off raw foodist, (mostly on), but when I am 'off' it is largely for emotional reasons. Yet obviously, self medicating with non-raw foods just makes me feel worse. So I have no idea why I put myself through such misery! I'm pretty high raw at the moment, but I feel like I might have an emotional detox coming on. Advice?

Luxdivon - these cookies sound devine - will certainly give them a try. Maybe I should vent as well - that is part of my problem - I dont! Chattanoog - your idea of beefing up on the greens does have some merit. I have been boosting my juices with watercress. The tang gives things a bit of a kick and seems more filling that usual. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I agree with what everyone said before.

Having raw treats at hand has pulled me through so many times, when I knew it was all old stuff and patterns resurfacing.

Also, sometimes it's 'good to fall off the wagon to see how crappy you feel and use that memory to keep you going strong. The last time I fell off it took me 3 days to eliminate the bad cravings and that memory is a real good deterrent not to do it again, or at least not so soon ;)

Also wanted to add that having colonics when I was in deep detox mode (physically and emotionally) has really helped me get through it.
