Second Time Around...

[heatkins]

I just started a raw diet yesterday...for the second time. I ate 100% raw for nine months in 1997/1998. I stopped primarily because I felt I was too thin and was having a hard time feeling like I fit in with my friends and family. However, I've never felt better mentally and physically. My boss at the time, often told people that I leaned toward the sun because I at so many plants I was turning into a plant. I always thought that was cute.
For the past few years, I haven't felt as good as I know I could. So, I am giving this another shot. Reading all of your posts really helps keep me focused and motivated. Thanks to all of you for sharing!!!

If only I could figure out how to get a raw beer.

Welcome, Heatkins! I strayed from eating raw over the holidays... I justified eating cooked food because I thought I was getting too thin and didn't like feeling "left out" just like you. But, I felt horrible!! I'm back to raw now and am happy once again.

Have you tried raw wine? ;)

Please tell me more about the raw wine. Never heard of it. Thanks!

There's another thread on this site that really goes into detail about raw wine. If you look under "Raw and Living Foods Discussion", the thread is titled "Raw Food and Wine have arrived..." by Monkeyboy.

Let me know if you have any trouble finding it! :)
