welcome, you have come to the right place,

I too, grew up with the protein protein protein myth and I was 160 pounds over weight to prove it, also have terrible pain, all the time, can't even begin to tell you how unhappy, unhealthy I was, now I've lost 85 pounds, and feel and look about 20 years younger,

life is so beautiful when you are on raw, beause food is no longer an issue, it is simply something you eat, that is it, no more binging, no more cravings, no more numbing out, it is just something you enjoy, and when you eat raw, pretty soon all the joys of all the different tastes start to become blissful.

I remember eating a blade of grass this summer from the garden, I was just munching on it, and realized how very sweet it was, grass, plane ole' grass. LOL

and the raspberries in my back yard, were pure heaven to me. the most delicious fruit on the planet, and I never felt that way about food before, it was almost like it was growing just for me to eat, and that was it's entire purpose in life was to give me health, it glowed, I ate it, then I glowed.

welcome

Welcome to the board! I applaud you for all you have been through on your journey thus far. You are obviously a strong woman who is willing to REALLY SEE those parts of yourself (angry sad blissful all of it) and know intuitively that what you feed your body and soul is a key factor in growing to your most loving and brilliant self--- the self God intended you to be all along (and have been all along but just didn't realize it!). Kudos to you.

Raw Love and peace

Food Alters Your Emotions. I Had Been Doing Great Until The Last Two Weeks Before Thanksgiving. I Acutally Did Well On Thanks Giving. My Girlfriend Makes The Bomb Salad And You Would Not Want Anything Else After Her Salad. But I Fell Again. I Think My Goals Were Not Clear Enough For Myself. I Did Not Know How Much Weight I Wanted To Loose. I Was Not Clear On A Lot. Tonight I Set Some Clear Goals. But Due To This Non-clarity I Ate Mostly Raw But Would Taste What I Ever I Chose From Time To Time. I Over Indulge In General It Replace My Dedire To Talk About Ever Thought That Crossed My Mind.
Any Who As I Had Been Raw I Did Not Have Mood Swings I Was Ingeneral Calm And Very Loving And Easy Flowing As I Allowed Myself To Drift More Into Cooked Sad Food, My Mood Darken. Almost Like Kids With Temper Tantrums. Today I Had A Mostly Raw Day. I Even Went To A Buffet Which Had A Huge Raw Selection I Was Able To Do Well With The Exception Of Some Rice On My California Make. I Tasted Leeche For The First Time It Was Good. I Can Go To This Place With My Family And Not Even Think About Venturing Off. My Mood Was Back To My Loving Curious Self. The Sad Food Brings You Down I Am Convinced. Eat For Your Attitude, And Your State Of Being. Eat For You Raw Raw Raw. I Am Finding This Out More And More.
