18 days ago I was lying in bed exhausted wondering how I could possibly pull myself together when I got a call out of the blue from someone asking me if I would be interested in attending a daylong seminar on raw food (I had signed up at a booth about a year ago). I told him no! He asked me why not and about 30 minutes later I was actually asking him questions about it and decided that I was interested.
I ended up going to the seminar a week later, but that very day I decided to be raw for 1 day to give my body a change. That day I was all raw except for some chocolate. It didn't seem too hard so I extended it to 2 days (again with a little unraw chocolate - which has always been my addiction). The 2nd day was also easy. The 3rd day I didn't even feel the need for the chocolate.
Since then, I did the seminar day in which I learned a lot. I have bought a blender. I have been raw since and have been really surprised at how easy it is. My mom has now gone out and bought a juicer and has started drinking green drinks and my sister has also bought some kit (Juicer, Allissa's book, etc) to try a bit of raw foods.
It has been really great! I have lost 15lbs, my skin has cleared up a lot, my moods have evened out (I am much more patient), my energy is increasing slowly but surely and I am learning (with your help) how to fit raw into my life. AND this is just the beginning of the changes! Yeah!
Thanks for reading! I just thought that I would share my experiences with you as I have gotten a lot of enjoyment reading about your experiences and rewards.
