Well today is Day Eight of 100 percent raw foods, so that works out to one week. I notice exciting results already and wanted to share them~

* I lost 8 pounds this week :eek: ( yippee)
* today I woke at 6:40 on my only day to sleep in, felt bright and awake
* All week I have felt positive and excited on the inner, knowing I was doing
something great and wonderful~ no depression except yesterday which was
understandable, no feelings of being out of control, no guilt/kicking myself
* I have fallen asleep right away the last couple of nights
* Very mild detox symptoms that I remained excited through
* I've been loving and sweet to everyone in my life all week with no effort
* I have only had my chronic head/neck/shoulder pain in full throttle once this week! Usually I can at least feel a bit of pain in my shoulder everyday but havent the last couple of days. :) I feel oxygenated.

I feel an incredible passion for living a raw lifestyle. I keep dreaming and planning where it's going to take me. I'm setting goals and thinking of challenges for myself--and I've never really been like that, a goal setter/planner. I've always been indulgent and impulsive. This is amazing me already! Can't wait for more!

And so anyone reading this, contemplating raw--go for it! I am so grateful to have found all this information. And thanks to the beautiful people on this forum for supporting everyone. It is such an incredible help that I will keep using..lol

Blessings of health~

Sweetgoddess, your weightloss result is amazing to me. I am curious as to what a typical day of eating has been for you the first week.

Carmel (what a delicious name :)

I am so happy you are seeing results already. Your post was very inspiring to me. I'm sure the people around me are waiting for me to get to the effortless "loving and sweet" part. :D That will be a true breakthrough!

Can you imagine this pain-free good feeling every day of your life? Wow, just think what we could challenge ourselves to do and accomplish when we aren't busy whining or sleeping or grumpy or in pain!

May your euphoria go on forever.......
