Hello...

Hi,
I have joined this forum to share ideas, successes and all the rest that goes with this lifestyle. Last year I went 100% raw for 6 weeks and have never felt better in my life. I lost 32 of the 80 pounds that I needed to lose and my skin cleared up for the first time in years. My blood pressure normalized, I slept through the night when before I had insomnia so bad I would be up for days. I could go on and on about all of the positive benefits I received from going raw. What I can't say is why I quit. After 6 weeks of loving this way of eating, I just kind of went on a binge of eating cooked food. I was so upset with myself after that, I just quit the whole thing. I have now gained all of that weight back (plus more), my skin is breaking out all the time, I just feel bad in general. So...I have committed myself to this lifestyle once again and could use some support and am more than willing to give that back to anyone who asks for it. Thanks for reading my long story and I hope to get to know you all.

It's a Journey and sometimes one take a detour but I am Soooooooo Happy that you are back on the Road again..and We all are here to support you. We are Family. We hold each other up, lest we fall ourselves, we are all one bite away from our next cooked meal.

You will find this a Great place to be, there is always someone to talk to, someone who can tell you the pitfalls so you won't have to travel there. There is Wisdom Galore here and you have much to share with us also.

So grab your extra lbs. and pimples and lets go on the 30 Day Challenge, there is a new one starting this month. I WELCOME you back to RAW. Have you ordered Alissa's Book? I would in order to help you stay grounded. You must READ, READ and do whatever it takes to stay RAW.........

I wish you everything you need to Stay RAW......Welcome to MY World.......

Thanks for the welcome everybody!
Yes, I did order Alissa's book last year when I started the first time. Her website was the first that I visited when I was looking into this. Since then, I have purchased 30 books on raw and living food preperation and nutrition (I have a book by David Wolfe on order right now). I am a bibliophile, books are my passion!:) I have read everything I can get my hands on and I am still learning... I guess that will always be the case, but I do have all the info I need to do this the right way. My Husband is interested in doing it with me, but he doesn't want to be involved in preperation or anything (he doesn't cook or prepare food at all), so I really need someone to talk to and to read about experiences that you all have had. Just some support from people that are as passionate about it as I am, I guess. Thanks again, I am so happy to have found this place!
