Hello everyone! It's great to be here.
I think this is a wonderful site. I've taken a look at some of the posting, and I have already posted myself. I admit, at first I was skeptical, but everybody is just really great, supportive and genuinely nice. Again, it's great to be here.
I have been officially 1 month 100% raw and counting! :D
This is not my first attempt at a raw lifestyle. I tried this once 6 years ago. I made it to 4 months at 100% raw. After that I fell back into my old habits. I admit 6 years ago I didn't have the support nor the resources available today. All hail the Internet!
I feel much more confident this time around. Also, I have made a slow, easy transition into 100% raw. The first time I just jumped in, of course, I have no patience. This time it was different. It has taken me a year and a half to get to this point. I went from being a lacto vegetarian, to vegan, to vegan/50% raw, until finally I reached 100%.
My body is slowly healing itself and getting healthier as I move along in this journey. This is wonderful and empowering. Although my impatient nature does want to move faster, I'm glad I've taken time to ease into this. No ugly, major mood swings or out of control cravings. I do have some problems here and there as the detox/healing process takes its course. Nevertheless, the detox process has been easier to handle this time around. I'm learning as I go along and enjoying the journey (and trying to have patience) one step at a time. I just wish I could move faster in the kitchen...so many yummy recipes to try! :p
I'm glad to be a part and share in this wonderful community.

A big hug and thank you to my beautiful and wonderful sister who recommended this site to me. My sis is 100% raw, and doing great! I'm very proud of her.
