still just a wanna-be

[newraw]

Waddup! I'm new (obviously) but not really raw. I'm a raw wanna-be.

I've been vegetarian since I was 14, and because that was effortless for me, I expected this to be easier. Dear gosh, I cannot give up the sugar/caffiene. I mean, I LOVE the stuff. I'm drinking Monster Energy as I type this to you. The XXL can. I got a problem, people!

A lesser problem but still sometimes tough is the cheese thing. I like fancy, really good cheese. Hard to pass up when I go somewhere and it's out. Or when my friends want to get fondue. :rolleyes:

Speaking of, I don't want to overstate this next part, so I'll just simply say my friends and boyfriend are the GREATEST PEOPLE ALIVE. I can't recall the last time I've seen any of them have anything other than Taco Bell and cigarettes, and they still think it's awesome that I'm all about this raw stuff.

How I'll be able to do it? No clue. I can't fast for one day, so it's going to be a real battle for me to give up the sugar and caffiene. It's always been part of my identity. I'm the girl who always has gummi worms, you know? It's my THING, which makes it harder.

Oh, right, WHY I started reading about raw in the first place: I have ADHD, asthma, and bad skin. In the process of looking for natural answers, I found Raw. I'd love to be able to harness my energy, be able to breathe, and have nice clear skin all at the same time. Can it happen? Testify!

Umm, so yup, hi, blah blah blah, here I am, and I hope to be inspired all the more by you totally cool people, and I want to be raw for Lent! HELP!!!

Can you do this? OF COURSE YOU CAN.....You JUST need to replace the bad with the GOOD. You are trying to get ENERGY with the caffine...Your Body is an ENERGY Storehouse but you are Blocking the ENERGY with all of the other things you are eating.

Now there is NO WAY you Loved cheese MORE than I. There is NO WAY....I AM HAPPY TO SAY......I DON'T EAT CHEESE AND HAVE NOT SINCE JUNE....06 AND NEVER WILL AGAIN..

I also was a Vegetarian for years and cheese can replace the meat but in the cheese all we are seeking is FAT.....We use Nuts, Avocados for our fat and cold compressed oils..

I tried making the cheese with nuts, didn't work for me, some say it taste like the real thing but I had an educated palate but I still held on.....NO CHEESE...then I read a Thread about cheese being made with PUS milk.....now I don't know how true it was but it took the tast RIGHT out of my mouth

Now about your Astma.........don't you want to BREATH and be WELL......? Then DO IT.....I know you are already CUTE, just think how CUTE you would be with that RAW GLOW coming from within bursting through your NEW SKIN.

Most people on this Forum don't have the Support Group you already have, So what you say about just giving it a try until you see some results......

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