:p Hello all... I am a 30 year old, stay at home mom of two, a 3 year old and 16 month old. I decided to go 100% raw the day after my son's third b-day, Feb. 26th, (except for coffee with agave and unsweetened soy milk) I know...I know. :) THATS not raw, but it is my vice which I have chosen to hold onto a bit longer. I stayed raw for 4 weeks in which time I lost 19 lbs. and felt better than I've felt since before I was pregnant with my first child. For some dumb reason, I decided I would eat a bagel w/cream cheese one day and it was all down-hill from there... pplllltttttt! Now, about three weeks later and 6 lbs. back on, I have decided that I MUST get back to raw, as I've been struggling for weeks! Tomorrow is my day though, I am making this promise to myself, as I have struggled with my eating habits since pregnancy when I felt entitled to eat whatever crazy amounts of meat, dairy, bread,and grease, etc. that I craved... GROSS!!! RAW is the best path I've found... I choose to take it. Also, I am going to do the raw challenge, I think it may give me some extra incentive... AND you can see me go from 243 (I was 256.5 lbs!!!) back to the 'real' me... :D
