3 1/2 Months 100% Raw!!(w/Photos)

[EmeraldGlow]

HUGS!!!

It's good to be back! I've missed you all! But I'm happy to say that while I have been gone from this forum I've been 100% raw! My sister came to visit and and the next day we were raw! I feel WONDERFUL! Life is good and things are healing and changing for the better. My skin is so smooth, my teeth are becoming whiter, my mouth and throat feel clean and clear, I walk so much faster, my eyes are more open, lighter and clearer, when I wake in the morning I don't feel groggy, I don't have that 'fog' in my brain. My 'moon' times are sooo much better! My hair is turning blonde, my nails are stronger, my feet are smoother than ever, and my hair is so soft! I don't have a scale and I forgot about getting on one, but I did take meassurements though! And so for 3 1/2 months I've been 100% raw (I slipped up once and i got so sick!lol never again!) and altogether I've let go of 41 & 1/2 inches all together! I was going on size 21 when I started and now I'm a size 17! I'm planning on being around the boards more often but until next time I love you all! And to those who are thinking about doing this and aren't sure if 100% is right for you I challenge you to just do it for a month, 100% and then see how you feel and like it...why not? You can do it! :) We are all here to help eachother break this addiction!

Peace,
Di

[EmeraldGlow]

Thanks so much you guys!

Tvillemom ~ I noticed this too when I saw my before pictures next to my new ones!! I was so shocked! I'm so excited for you! You can do it, I know you can!


Jaurequi ~ In the beginning my days look most like this:

-green smoothie w/spinach, pineapple, parsley, OR young coconut, banana, and ice.
-kombucha (anytime of the day)
-Snacked on fruits like watermelon, cherries, strawberries, and grapes for the rest of the day.
-water (mind you, it wasn't alot I'm still working on that!)
-a little bit of almonds and dates. I wasn't craving nuts that much. (it's a good filler)
-Nut Pate/Tuna; I would just get some almonds, onions (different kinds), bean sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, garlic, salt, pepper, water or oil (depends), put it in processor and I would put it in lettuce wraps with sliced veggies and I would eat it with a bowl of spinach and some grapes! It was so good :)
-Flax crackers, I made a few with the dehydrator and bought some too...I liked the ones I made better...although flax crackers aren't my favorite thing they got me through some hungry/tempting times!

I didn't have a dehydrator the first month and so I just ate really simple like I showed above. It was kind of hard in the beginning when I wanted that full feeling. But I would just snack on the dates and a few nuts or have some bananas and it would soon pass. I dont have as much green drinks now like I used to but that is something I'm going to start doing. It really makes a difference! The Kombucha really helped with my hunger too. I love that stuff! Now I did slip up once and lets just say I am never eating cooked food again! Before I slipped up I noticed that I was doing raw but something was off about how I was thinking about it. And then the end of my second week when I was having a really strong temptation I gave in saying "oh, well i really didnt get to say 'bye' to my foods..." Lol, But after I got sick something in me changed and I was different the next morning. I thought of food differently and I was in my right mind. I've been 100% full force since then and that will never change.

Peace!

That is so good! And it's true when we start eating wholesome foods our appetites decrease. We are getting satisfied!
Congrads again!!!
