Hello!
Well first of all i didn't get the weekend job. Apparently the woman's daughter came back from boarding school, so she is going to sort the horses out.
How crap is that? thats an extra £60 a week i wont be getting.
Things are tight at home. With me being the only one earning money and the fact im going to be getting a car, there isn't alot of extra cash for food. I was planning to put away £50 a month for rainy days but its a rainy year, so im going to spend it on food instead.
Im going to try and be 100% lfrv again, but with a slightly bigger budget.
I went to visit my friends dads farm today because all the apples are ready to pick, so i got a bad of lovely red apples (their a bit small, but still tasty) and i got some pears. So that will help next week until i get paid.
The pears are not ripe so i have sat them on my windowsill to ripen up.
I have some pics that i will put up when i have the software working!
im going to keep looking for a part time job. ive got to do what ever it takes

The wonders of an asian market
On the market i visit every lunch i have made friends with a vietnamese man who i buy my fresh dates from. I asked him if he can get Durian and Jackfruit. He was saying that people dont like to import Durian unless its frozen because of the smell, and also apparently it is £55 for a case which only has 3 in it.
I said that ive always wanted to try it and he said that there was a little asian supermarket round the corner, (who knew!?) and last time he went in there they were selling frozen durian (yay!).
So i went there and asked the lady if they had Durian and she said that they dont and they wont be getting anymore back in as it is too expensive :(
Anyway, it wasn't a complete disappointment. they have HUGE white dragon fruit, mangosteen, Rambutan, Guava and god knows what else, i was far to excited to take it all in!
I bought some Rambutan and im a little disappointed. It looks like a lychee but not nearly as nice!
Im looking forward to mangosteen, the queen fruit!

A fruity lining in an otherwise very dark cloud.
As i explained in my last post, i am having some money trouble. It seems like every job i get i still cant make ends meet.
Im having to eat 10p noodles and you know what the worst thing is...i dont want to eat this crap, i only want to eat fruit. In the last few days ive been in such a mood about it. I feel like crap all the time, i havnt done any exercise except from horse riding, i have indigestion all the time and my stomach feels hard and bloated.
I want to eat what the hell i want, and i want to eat fruit, i just cant afford to and i know things are going to get tougher when i get a car.
I realized that im going to have to get some money from somewhere so i thought about getting a second job.
I went onto a local horse feeds website and they are after a part time groom, so i rang them up and im meeting them tomorrow.
This will give me around £260 pm extra so i can spend ALL OF THAT on fruit!!!!! and my proper wage will pay for the car and everything. Im so happy, this is such a relief.
I am so serious about this lifestyle and living off fruit that i am willing to get a second job to pay for it. I need this. I hope i get the job. and more so.. i hope its cash!

one step forward and two leaps back
In the market they have started selling white flesh nectarines. I had never had these before but i bought some and gave them a try.
What a surprise! They are nothing like the tangy strong taste of normal nectarines. At first they taste like nothing, but after the initial shock you realize, actually they taste really creamy! So i have been enjoying these and the lovely big soft figs that are around at the moment. The date man said that he would save al the ripest, juiciest dates from over the weekend :D
one step forward
Ive gotten to the point now, that when faced with all my old fave cooled foods, i only ever want to eat fruit. Its fruit first choice all the time which is great. I love the way they are just so juicy, and i love just living off nectarines, peaches and figs.
Two leaps back
To eat raw i have to eat lot, especially when just eating sweet fruit. My daily food bill is around £5.50.
I have had alot of expenses this month such as bills, the bf's birthday, my scooter needing an mot £30, a new tyre and switch £40, ive booked my theory £31, i owed someone £20, ive gotten a dvd out from the library and requested a book, so i owe them like £6, my fuel bill has shot up since im traveling further to work now, ive gotten dates from the supermarket a couple of times, so ive just thrown away £20 there, i need to get credit £10 and I dont have enough in my bank to cover insurance, fuel and food for the rest of the month so i have had to make a few cuts and unfortunately my eating has had to be that cut.
So i have noodles for 10p a pack and i have some porridge and bread thats what im living off at breakfast and dinner and then i'll have fruit at lunch.
Im so annoyed because its not like i even want to eat this crap.I WANT to EAT FRUIT.
I look at it and think about juicy nectarines and peaches, and i just have no interest to eat it, but ive not got a choice. Im going to have to borrow money again this month, and things are only going to get worse when i get a car.
im going to have to figure something out

The effects of being under carbed!
I was meant to got to the market on saturday to get food for the rest of the day, sunday and monday morning, but it turns out we didn't have enough fuel to get there, so there was very little in the way of fruit in the house. in fact there were some grape fruit and unripe bananas.
Id managed to find some food for saturday and sunday morning, but after an hour of horse riding i was starving and i knew there wasn't enough food to sustain me. I know that it is more to get enough carbs than to starve yourself so i had some porridge.
I really regretted it that night and i wish i hadn't so today i really made sure i had plenty of food this evening! The only problem is that i spent £8 with is normally like 2 and a half days worth of food from the market. Money is tight already, especially as i have to pay for a new tyre and switch for my crappy scooter!
Im also going to get a car soon too.
anyway...
i loaded up on dates, dried apricots, mango and oranges and im stuffed! which is good...because i dont want to eat anything else!
As much as i LOVE this diet, it can be so damn hard sometimes!

1 week on (just about!) so what's new?
well its pretty much been a week of 100% lfrv and i am actually pretty surprised!
My body is getting quite finely tuned now and im really happy about it!
1) i stop eating when i have had enough to eat! (That may seem really obvious but when i was high fat raw i would just eat and eat and eat fruit at night because i was restricting it during the day. I would feel so ill and i just couldn't stop eating even though my belly was screaming for me to stop! Totally under carbed!)
2) i am very well hydrated. (i drink at least 1.5ltrs of water a day and i can tell when i want some water without actually feeling thirst. i pee about 10 times per day nice and clear)
3) i have not been bloated! (when i ate fruit before i was so bloated because of all the fat in my system and the fruit would just ferment)
4) I can tell when i have not had enough calories. (as soon as something other an raw fruit or leaves become appealing...i know i have not had enough cals!)
5) my meals are digesting super easily and quickly!
6) it is quite hard to eat enough calories (which is annoying), especially as with all the extra energy...it makes you want to exercise!
7) i get concerned when i DONT HAVE ENOUGH calories!! (instead of thinking 'omg, ive had more than 2000 cals' i think, 'omg, is that IT? i need to eat more!!')
8) i feel no guilt about the amount of food i am eating. in fact i get excited about the 7 nectarines i have for lunch, or the mountain of free wild apples i have for dinner!
9) eating mono seems so natural. i always though i couldn't do it because it seems so boring..BUT I LOVE IT!! it just feels, and tastes so good!
10) combining is so easy. i always though' omg, that is just too complicated' but when you eat so simply...it is actually a pleasure, especially when you put something together (like lettuce and dates (thanks DR!) and it comes out tasting amazing!)
11) sleep has always been important to me..but i feel so much better when i get 10 hours, compared to 8. sleep is really so important.
12) i thought it would be so difficult eating 811, but i have been logging my food on nutridiary and i ACTUALLY eat 955, mostly +90 -5-5! The only overt fat i have this week is a Tspoon of sesame and pumpkin seeds. i do not crave fats at all!
13) i feel warmer. when i am on my moped to work, its quite cold in the morning, but i can totally feel my body warm itself up! well done body!
14) i can tell when i have had a good sized meal because i get a happy, warm feeling in my fruity belly!
15) where ever i go i always notice fruit tree's! on the way to work there has to be at least 10 apple tree's!
16) My teeth are not sensitive! they only started being sensitive when i was brushing too much and too hard. now i brush twice a day and i only very gently brush my gums.
now if they arnt enough reeasons to stay lfrv...then what is!?

its too hard to eat enough!
Yesterday i ate alot but still only managed 818 calories! that was because i had a salad at dinner and not a load of fruit. I also went for a jog and burned a few extra calories.
I normally stuff my face with fruit in the evenings so my dinner is normally where my main calorie intake takes place.
Today i have eaten quite a bit and still only ate 1892 calories!
Ive been asking around my fruit market for spotty bananas but no one seems to have any! although luckily for me i have used my feminine charms and become pals with one of the guys with a fruit stall so he does me some deals! i got a bunch of slightly spotty bananas, 5 large nectarines and a bowl of satsumas for £2.50 :D

One thing i will say though-
when i was high fat and ate in the evening i would find myself bingeing on fruit and feeling awful after. my stomach would be all bloated, id look 6 months pregnant, id be very gassy, so uncomfortable, in pain and id just feel like crap.
NOW, WITH NO OVERT FATS i have just had a meal of fruit and i am not bloated, my stomach isnt sticking out, im not gassy, stinky, in pain at all! i just need a wee from all the water!
I am sticking to the 811 rules (well more like 95/5/5 most of the time!) to a T and its amazing the difference it makes. im finding mono meals so easy too.
If your god came to you one day and said:
'you can eat this sweet, natural fruit as much as you like and have great health or you can eat as much as that un-natural food as you wish and suffer the most awful ill health'
what would you choose?
it seems obvious doesn't it?
THEN WHY ARNT PEOPLE DOING IT!!!!????
