Looking Worse Before Looking Better

[Sooboopa]

Some raw gurus have said they looked worse before they looked better (eg David Wolfe, Nora Lenz)... Some didn't see their family for a while, so they wouldn't get hassled.

As I detox, I can see my face change. Sometimes I will look tired and drawn and then a few hours later my face changes and my eyes are bright and my cheeks rosy. Is it the interplay between the true and false body, as outlined in Nature's First Law?

I can kind of understand that as you detox, there are more toxins in the bloodstream so therefore in the capillaries of your face.

What is / was your experience in this regard?

me to me to....one day I would like tired, drawn, the next bright eyed and glowing. Now that I am deeper into it I find that for the most part I look in the mirror and go gee who is the fresh looking face staring out at me ?

I have not experienced much change in my body. That is the same. It is my brighter eyes and skin where I see the difference. I fought to keep my 45 year old body in shape and I guess the 20 years of various types of work outs did that. But I must say since going Raw I am keeping the same body with much LESS EFFORT !!

Speaking of that I am overdue to go running...bye !!!!!!

I've yet to do the raw challenge, but I've even noticed appearance changes when transitioning to veetarian and when fasting.

I an definately relate to the toxic look. When I'm on my menses I usually look as blah as I feel. Then perk up a few days later.

I also look very radiant just after having my babies or after a good night of smooching with hubby and sleep.
