raw vegan wannabe in new york

[ren]

Hello my name is Renee. I live in New York and am starting my raw food challenge tomorrow. The 30 day challenge is a good idea. I started blogging about my life and desire to change http://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=135&t=64279 and found Alissa's website while searching for raw food resources. I have a number of books, but I'm tired of reading and want to actually do something.

Thanks.

Welcome. I started with the challenge too. I haven't been 100% but I am 80 to 90% and feel like I am on the right track. My advice is to check out the journals. They were such an inspiration to me. These forums are also great. Plenty of recipes in that section to get you started. Try and keep it simple. It helps. I am in California but I have family in New Jersey. Good luck. Lorna

Thanks. I'm going to check out the journals. I love to read online journals for motivation and support.

I live on Long Island but I plan to go into NYC and have a 'raw day' in the city on Saturday.

You should visit Chinatown if you like the asian produce! They have some great markets there.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the welcome. I thought I would have been able to make it through one day without stuffing my face but I was wrong :( I'm not upset though since I have a big problem with emotional eating. I ordered Alissa's book to read and add to my library. I also bought an Ultimate Chopper and lots of different fruits and vegetables. I took a before picture that my abdominal section and my facial acne look scary! :eek: But I am confident still.

Have a blessed day.
