Hello

Hi,

I know that raw is the direction I am going, but I have to admit that I am scared of it... part is the label "raw, vegan" and part of it is changing my relationship with food and food related activities. Odd, because I don't have food problems/issues...

I feel better raw. Cooked food, even my favorites, haven't been feeling as good in my body, over that past months I've been quite irritated at restaurants that don't serve decent raw salads or even use any of the more interesting fruits and vegetable flavors... my goodness, the variety and diversty is amazing!

I'm curious to see how my body and health will start changing. It makes total sense to heal with foods.

I've cleared off space on my countertop for my brand new excalibur, just need to pull it out of the box, and I'm having to tell myself that it's just food, it's just a way of "cooking" food, it's not a big deal. My first meal with the dehydrator will be pizza.

I am not a flighty person - this is unusual for me. But it's my reality, so I acknowledge it.

I've been reading for a couple of weeks, am glad to have finally registered.

P.S. Don't be fooled by my name, I'm a redheaded, blue eyed 38 year old! :)

Hi Mendhigrl,
I totally understand the feelings you have about going raw, as I am in the transition stage also. I have made up my mind to do this, just picking a start day to be 100% is my challenge. I have the opportunity to quit work full time and go part time so I will probably wait until I quit. The office job I am at now has had me stuck in sort of a rut and times past when I went raw, people would be so rude and think I am crazy and bring in all sorts of sweets, so I just dont think I could ever make it as long as I am working there.

I too am sort of "scared" about this and have some anxiety, but if I can feel better and look better, then all this anxiety is worth it!!

Congrats on finding raw!!
