There is so much information here. Use the banana and do research. It takes alot of time to do so but I also like the fact that I am hearing real experiences of real people here as opposed to theory from someone who may have never dealt with these issues personally. It is good that you are making this commitment so young. Your skin will thank you for this. I am thinking of so many women that I know who have gone the stomach stapling route and have permanent health problems now. I also have weight that I am losing and nothing else worked for me til raw.

Hi Crystal! My only advice is NEVER GIVE UP! Some people can just jump right in & go raw on the spot without ever looking back but then there are people like me who have to keep working at it. I know as long as I never give up on being all raw all the time eventually I will reach my goal! :D

RawVeganMom is right. So many of us slip time and again but we just keep coming back. It is called transition and some of us just have a more difficult time than others. Eventually we will make it. As you look through old threads you will read people's stories and learn that some of your rawfood heroes took a long time to be 100%.
